Next international conference on Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven Systems (EEMODS)
The next EEMODS takes place on 19 – 21 May 2026 in Berlin. Abstracts can be submitted until 31 January 2026.
Australia no longer member of EMSA
The Government of Australia withdraws from EMSA, following which EMSA has 9 members.
New report evaluates the flexibility potential of heat pumps and electric vehicles
In a new report, commissioned by the 4E TCP EDNA Platform and the Users TCP, the Austrian Institute of Technology conclude that policy and behavioural measures are as important as technical ones.
Evaluating Electric Vehicle and Heat Pump Flexibility Potential: Linking Technology, Economics, Regulation, Behaviour and Policy
In a report, commissioned by the 4E TCP EDNA Platform and Users TCP, the Austrian Institute of Technology explores how flexibility can be understood, quantified, and enabled in practice. The report introduces a high-level model that links technical capabilities, economic drivers, behavioural aspects, and policy frameworks to estimate the overall flexibility potential of distributed assets.
New insights on industrial Silicon Carbide Variable Speed Drives
EMSA just released a new report with the results of a test series of industrial Silicon Carbide Variable Speed Drives, revealing clear efficiency advantages, but also the need for further research on challenges.

IC 2023 Nucleus Lab Comparison Report – Part 2 Published
Today, the SSL Annex has published the Nucleus Laboratory Comparison report – Part 2 of the 2023 Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2023). IC 2023 is investigating the degree of agreement in the measurements of temporal light modulation
IC 2023 Nucleus Laboratory Comparison Report, Part 2: TLM Generator Artefact
This Nucleus Laboratory Comparison report – Part 2 is part of the 2023 Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2023). IC 2023 is investigating the degree of agreement in the measurements of temporal light modulation (TLM) quantities, in particular, short-term flicker indicator (PstLM), and stroboscopic effect visibility measure (SVM).

IEA 4E PECTA Experts Workshop 2026
This PECTA Expert Workshop 2026 brings together leading experts from research, industry, and policy to discuss the latest advances in power electronics. The program highlights progress in application readiness, reliability, and circular economy approaches, alongside key
Comparing standard IGBT and silicon carbide (SiC) Variable Speed Drives in pump systems
As part of a Swiss research project, a motor system using silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET-based Variable Speed Drive was evaluated against a conventional system with insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology. Energy loss measurements from both systems were used to estimate the potential savings if all speed-controlled pump drive systems worldwide were converted to SiC technology. The results point to a global annual savings potential of 17 – 25 TWh.
