Saving energy through drive system efficiency

摘要

Of all the resources used in modern manufacturing, energy is arguably the most fundamental. This resource has long been taken for granted, but rising energy prices and concerns over greenhouse gas emissions are increasingly leadingrnusers to critically assess their energy usage.rnIn many technology areas, it is difficult to achieve significant energy savings; when they are, gains of a couple of percentage points are then celebrated as breakthroughs. There are technologies, however, that can deliver very significant reductions in energy use.
