Proceedings of the 8th International Conference EEMODS'2013 Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven Systems

This book contains the papers presented at the eighth international conference on Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven Systems EEMODS 2013 EEMODS 2013 was organised in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil from 28 to 30 October 2013. This major international conference, which was previously been staged in Lisbon (1996), London (1999), Treviso (2002), Heidelberg (2005), Beijing (2007), Nantes (2009) and Washington DC (2011) has been very successful in attracting an international and distinguished audience, representing a wide variety of stakeholders in policy implementation and development, manufacturing and promotion of energy-efficient motor systems, including key policy makers, equipment manufacturers, academia and end-users. Potential readers who may benefit from this book include researchers, engineers, policy makers, energy agencies, electric utilities, and all those who can influence the design, selection, application, and operation of electrical motor driven systems.
