Policy Brief #10 – Improving the Measurement of Air Compressor Efficiency – Learnings from the EMSA Round Robin
Accurate and reproducible efficiency measurement is a prerequisite for effective energy performance policy. This new EMSA Policy Brief describes the robustness of current methods for determining the isentropic efficiency of small, packaged air compressors.
Policy Brief #0 – Electric Motor Systems Platform Overview
This Policy Brief gives an overview of EMSA’s work focus until 2029 and highlights relevant work outcomes to date.
Policy Brief # 9 – Electric motor systems: why are they important?
This Policy Brief assesses the importance of electric motor systems in the global energy system. In 2023, electric motor systems were responsible for 53% of global electricity consumption. Their share in electricity consumption varies widely across sectors: 72% in industry, 36% in buildings, 87% in agriculture and 86% in the transportation sector.
Policy Brief #8 – Wide Bandgap Industrial Variable Speed Drives Research Roadmap
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.
