SinaSave energy efficiency tool
■
Overview
The SinaSave energy efficiency tool calculates potential energy
savings and amortization times based on your individual condi-
tions of use and therefore offers practical assistance in making
decisions about investments in energy-efficient technologies.
From SinaSave Version 6.0 and higher, the drive systems to be
compared and the relevant drive component parameters are
displayed graphically. An additional expansion are the numer-
ous comparison possibilities for different control types and com-
prehensive product combinations for drive solutions for pump
and fan applications. In addition to SIMOTICS motors and
SINAMICS drives, the product portfolio comprises SIRIUS
controls, offering a comprehensive range of comparison possi-
bilities – according to your individual requirements.
SinaSave offers numerous comparison scenarios:
•
Comparison of drive systems for pump and fan applications in
the output range from 2.2 kW (low voltage) to 5.5 MW
(medium voltage) for
- Reactor control (fixed speed; motor and switching device)
- Bypass control (fixed speed; motor and switching device)
- Speed control (variable speed; motor and frequency
converter)
•
Comparison and evaluation of standard motors (incl. ignition
protection motors) in different energy efficiency classes
SinaSave supports the evaluation of the various comparisons of
product and system by
•
Displaying the potential savings for energy and energy costs,
as well as CO
2
emissions
•
Estimation of the amortization time
•
Estimation of the individual total lifecycle costs
•
Representation of the system power losses according to
EN 50598-2 for full load and partial load
•
Direct comparison of Siemens drives with the reference Power
Drive System (PDS) described in EN 50598-2
