PROJECT TITLE :

Environmental and life cycle cost analysis of one switched reluctance motor drive and two inverter-fed induction motor drives

ABSTRACT :

Herein is described an environmental and life cycle value (LCC) analysis of one switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive and two inverter-fed induction motor (IM) drives. The two sorts of drives are compared based mostly on critical reasoning, and European Commission (EC) Regulation 640/2009 is taken into account. Environmental impact and LCC were evaluated according the Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy-Using Products and accounting different operation conditions. The SRM drive was found to own less environmental impact than were the IM drives.
