Introduction Significant emount of electrical energy in Industrial and commercial sectors of the world is consumed by the ele Three phase squirrel cage induction motor offers simplicity and robustness which has made it the prime mover modern industrial era, Energy conservation in induction motor is gaining attention due their increased penetration in the use. This unit focuses on some methods to bring optimization in motor performance keeping an aim of | conservation in induction motor. Energy efficient motors are discussed compared with standard design of motors being a better option to im efficiency. Transformer is called as a heart of electrical power sy stem being a device that performs an important ‘energy transform and transfer from one circuit to other It achieves ths by magnetic coupling of primary and secondary winding. Transformeslke distribution transformer can supply power to loads and remain engl Though i doesnot consume ary power, ses ar inherent inthe process In the past, losses reductions programs for transformer were very fe when compared to other electrical devices such as motors, However, increasing concern of energy conserviIndustrial and commercial consumer identifies their most energy c that energy conservation measures can be applied. : 43 % to 46 % of the world energy consumption and near about 70 % of totale due to motor and motor drives. Inefficient motors not only causes wastage of electrical energy but also more operation Most of the electricity to run these motors is generated from non-renewable incremental effect on greenhouse gases. So econamic as well as environmental aspects necessitates the conservation in Electrical Near about shares of electrical energy use by motors in various sectors of are as follows Table 24.4 Sector | Share lin%) | Processes and Material Handling Equipments = "Penetration of motors in various sectors of energy use as given in above te Conservation in motors. 2.4.2 Need of Energy Conservation in Transformer24.2 Automatic Power Factor Controller In electrical power systems, power factor control has lang been accepted as an important step to energy con: Capacitors are switched in and out of the system according to need of VAR compensation. |f properly applied and controlled (possibly automatic) capacitance improve performance of distribution Srovides reactive curent locally andofesthe advantage of .F Energy cc and Ault (MSBTE) Energy Conservation in Electrical Machines can be seen in above Fig, 24.2 reactive power compensation scheme isk sation scheme Is located at entrance of the faci {sets the inductive loading (lagging P..) ance of the facility which /aR controller in general includes ‘Switched capacitor units Intelligent control unit ‘CT and PT to sense the current and voltage.
