In 2010 Vacon Inverter Helps Global Users Save Energy 35TWh

According to the Vacon Group news, according to conservative estimates, due to the widespread use of Vacon inverters in 2010, approximately 35 TWh of electricity was saved for users worldwide, which is equivalent to the annual power generation of 6 700 MW nuclear power plants; at the same time, carbon dioxide was reduced. The emissions of about 17 million tons, equivalent to the emissions of 4.5 million vehicles a year, have made outstanding contributions to slowing global warming.

Variable frequency drive products can reduce energy consumption by 20-50% by controlling the speed of the motor. The manufacturing cost of the inverter is a small investment compared with the energy savings realized in its application and can be recovered in a short time. According to statistics, with the tense energy sources and the development of technology, the payback period of the inverter will be shortened. Among them, in the most important applications of inverters such as fans and pumps, the payback period for equipment investment may even be less than one year. . This is the core meaning of inverters to save energy and reduce costs.

“Vacon Group has been dedicating to the control of motor and renewable energy utilization technology since it produced the first variable frequency drive product in 1995. Until now, the technical advantages demonstrated by inverters in terms of energy saving are still irreplaceable. Its development will also be unlimited," said Vesa Laisi, president and CEO of Vacon Group.
