Undoubtedly, investment costs for electrical drives are minor when compared to the overall investment in a system or plant. But it is the energy consumption of the selected drive technology that has a decisive influence on the follow-up costs.
If you compare all costs incurred during the life cycle of a system, you will notice that energy costs of systems that have not been optimized with respect to their energy consumption can constitute up to 90 % of the follow-up costs. This shows that optimizing the energy efficiency of each individual component and combining the drive technology to match the specific application will achieve a significant economic benefit.
