Abstract :
This paper presents an analysis of the environmental and life cycle costs of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. The analysis was carried out according to the Energy-Using Product Directive (EuP 2005/32/EC) and following the Methodology for the Eco-Design of Energy-Using Products (MEEUP methodology). The base case model adopted is an 8/6 SRM with 1.5 kW of output power that can be considered representative of the small power range. The analysis shows that SRMs could generate large savings comparable to or even better than those of Eff1 three-phase induction motors in the use phase.
