The New European Database on Efficient Electric Motor Systems: EURODEEM-98

Abstract

EuroDEEM is a Database tool promoted by the European Commission to help and guide decision-makers to manage energy efficiency in Electric Motor Systems (EMS), from the grid to the end-use. At the beginning of 1999 the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission released a completely new version (EuroDEEM-98 V.1.1) with many enhancements. The new software was conceived to consider all energy paths and components, as well as the most interesting energy conservation opportunities applicable to EMS. Although the software is being further developed and refined, it is already now possible to perform a simple energy and economic analysis of a complete electric motor system. This report also describes EuroDEEM’s conceptual design, its present features and the improvements underway during 1999, and, in particular, how the end-use Pump Module Help and the related selection tool are being developed.
