Electric motors are available for a wide range of applications and in a variety of power outputs. They are the ideal drivers for a huge number of operations. Electric motors are the primary mover for a vast majority of industrial and tertiary sector activities. Some motors are visible as a separate entity; others are built into boxed applications such as air compressors, heat pumps, water pumps, and fans. Electric motors account for approximately 65% of the electricity consumed by EU industry.

A task of the IEA 4E EMSA Project - The International Energy Agency (IEA) Implementing Agreement for a Co-operating Programme on Efficient Electrical End-Use Equipment (4E) was set up in 2008 and is currently supported by around 12 countries. A new Electric Motor Systems Annex (EMSA) was launched at the end of 2008 and is made up of a number of Tasks.

An electric motor and an electricity generator are basically the same.

By principle, any electric motor can also generate electricity. Electric drives are way ahead of combustion engines, since, unfortunately, a car engine which sucks up exhaust fumes during braking and downhill rides and converts them into fuel and fresh air is still pending. The electric motor can deliver this, although during its first century of existence, its use has largely been hampered by two basic drawbacks:

The development of photovoltaic (PV) panels has made solar-powered pumps a reality. The pump drivers are usually direct-current (DC) motors, which are fed by power electronic converters with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to extract the whole energy that the PV panels can generate, depending on environmental conditions including irradiation and temperature. The implementation of the MPPT algorithm essentially involves sensing both an input current and an input voltage. Understandably, such realisation is expensive.
