Electric motors and motor systems in industrial and infrastructure applications with pumps, fans and compressors in buildings are responsible for 53% of the world’s total electricity consumption. New and existing technologies offer the potential to reduce the energy demand of motor systems across the global economy by 20% to 30% with short payback periods.
4E’s Electric Motor Systems Platform (EMSA) raises worldwide awareness of the efficiency potential of motor systems and provides guidance and tools to exploit the energy performance of new and existing motor systems worldwide.
The adoption of Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors in industrial Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) presents multiple advantages, including improved efficiency, reduced cooling requirements and smaller form factors. Despite their numerous advantages, the adoption of WBG industrial VSDs faces several challenges.
Andrea Vezzini will present during a webinar at the Motors Academy on 21 November 2024 the development of a comprehensive “White Book on Wide Bandgap Semiconductor-Based Industrial Inverters.”
EMSA just published a world map showing Minimum Energy Performance Standards for electric motors in effect.

This Policy Brief highlights the importance of wide bandgap power semiconductors in industrial variable speed drives and introduces the Research Roadmap developed by EMSA in cooperation with PECTA. The Research Roadmap aims to facilitate the adoption of this new technology by addressing key challenges with dedicated research topics over the course of the next few years.
This Policy Brief summarises the key findings of four recent EMSA publications on digitalisation in electric motor systems.
In this publication, EMSA provides recommendations for industrial end-users on how to digitalise their motor systems.
