Energy-Efficiency Policy         Opportunities for Electric Motor-Driven Systems /  Paul Waide and Conrad U. Brunner. Paris : IEA, 2011, 132 p. (working         paper)contents, abstract :         http://www.iea.org/publications/free_new_Desc.asp?PUBS_ID=2398report :         http://www.iea.org/papers/2011/EE_for_ElectricSystems.pdfThis paper is the first global analysis of energy     consumption and energy efficiency potential of EMDS (electric motor-     driven system). The electric motors and systems they drive are the     largest single electricity end use accounting for more than 40% of     global electricity consumption. Huge energy efficiency potential was     found untapped in EMDS - around 25 % of EMDS electricity use could     be saved cost-effectively, reducing total global electricity demand     by about 10%. (© IEA)However, the energy efficiency of EMDS has been relatively neglected     in comparison with other sustainable energy opportunities. It is     crucial to scale up the operations and resources committed to     realizing the vast savings potential of optimized EMDS. This paper     proposes a comprehensive package of policy recommendations to help     governments realize the potential for energy savings in EMDS. (© IEA)
