| Abstract/Contents: | "The uniqueness of the project lies in the application of recently-developed methodology for field determination of electric motor efficiencies. The application of this technology to industrial motors led to speculation that agricultural pumping plant motors might be operating at sub-optimal efficiency. Project objectives are summarized as follows: 1. Survey and characterize the agricultural pumping plant motor population in California. 2. Using proven methodology, conduct field tests on a representative sample to determine average operating efficiencies. 3. Analyze the survey and field-test data to identify causes for inefficiency in pumping plant motors. 4. List specific interventions that could improve efficiency and frame the economic considerations. 5. Recommend programs and policies to increase motor efficiencies, thereby impacting both the operators's power bills and the utility's connected load." Highlights of the operator survey are given. |
