The latest policy brief from PECTA, ‘Circular Economy – Compatible Power Electronics and New Application Areas’ has been published and is available for download here.
A new report, commissioned by the 4E TCP, explores opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of systems using modelling and monitoring in regulations. The learnings found in the report were applied to an electric motor related case study system: compressed air systems.
Today, at the CIE Midterm Meeting in Vienna, Austria, Dr. Yoshi Ohno, an Expert of the SSLC Platform has presented the first results of the Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2023) of the measurement of temporal light modulation (TLM) of solid-state lighting (SSL) products.
The IEA’s Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative, the IEA 4E TCP Efficient, Demand Flexible Networked Appliances (EDNA) and the Super-Efficient Equipment and Appliance deployment (SEAD) initiative are co-organising a webinar focused on the electricity use of data centres and the role of energy consumption data in enabling effective policy and planning.
U4E released its updated Motor Policy Guide and Model Regulations to support policy makers in developing countries and emerging economies in transitioning to energy-efficient motor systems.
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.
Today, the SSLC Platform published a new paper on Temporal Light Artifacts (TLAs) which are undesired visual perceptual effects, caused by Temporal Light Modulations (TLMs)
New EDNA report examines the ability of ‘flexibility platforms’ to unlock demand flexibility from appliances in the household and commercial sectors. Download here.
4E TCP has developed a new test procedure to better reflect the benefits of dynamic load control, beyond a test which locks the fans and compressors at a fixed speed. This report provides the results of a round-robin testing across multiple international laboratories to evaluate the reproducibility and representativeness of this new Test Method for AC/HP products.
EDNA has published 2 new reports on data centres: Data Centre Energy Efficiency Labels and Public Data on Data Centre Energy Use.
This report focusses on cybersecurity threats in relation to demand flexible networked appliances. It investigates current efforts to address these, and summarises the issues that policy makers should be aware of in relation to minimising cybersecurity risks.
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.
EMSA published an overview of relevant international IEC & ISO and national/regional standards for electric motors, Variable Speed Drives as well as pumps, fans and air compressors.
This report presents a comparison and demonstration of measurement equivalency of the five Nucleus laboratories that constitute the core of Interlaboratory Comparison 2023 (IC2023). This
