Mr. Bill Miller, the City of Des Moines (WRA) Risk & Reliability Manager noted, “Motors@WorkTM will be an integral part of our energy and asset management convergence strategy. Motors@WorkTM will handle everything from calculating a simple return on investment on a single motor purchase for us to providing a comprehensive enterprise motor management program. Motors@WorkTM will allow WRA to integrate with our system-of-record of in-service and spare motors. The certified analytics and standards within Motors@WorkTM will determine motor load, efficiency at the load point, energy consumption, and cost, either by field measurements or near real-time integrations to our SCADA and asset management systems. Also motors with constant and variable loads will both be accommodated. All of this will support the identification of Inefficient or oversized motor non-conformities which will be communicated, repair and replacement countermeasures initiated, and potential savings determined. Power quality will also be monitored and anomalies identified in order to meet a motor’s rated efficiency and performance levels.”
Mr. Royce Hammitt, the City of Des Moines WRF Facilities Manager noted, “motors consume a large portion of a water and waste water operations electrical energy. Motor-driven assets must be a major focus of attention in any program to reduce energy and CO2 emissions and within the water and waste water operations a cornerstone of any efficiency program. Taking a life cycle approach to motor management is essential to optimizing efficiency. Motors@WorkTM will be critical to us accomplishing our efficiency objectives. ”
