Currently, it is estimated that 30% of electricity generated globally is used to drive electric motors in industrial applications. Looking at the industrial electric motors market, although this is dominated by electric motors which are implemented in low voltage applications, around 10% of this market is dedicated to the production of electric motors for medium voltage applications such as for rolling mills, water treatment plants, paper and pulp industry and other high-power applications.The research on embedded motor drives for low power industrial application developed at the University of Nottingham in the past 12 years has proven that this technology can improve and favour the uptake of variable speed drives which would lead to enormous energy savings globally.This research will investigating solutions to the scalability and feasibility of high power EMD architectures looking at low voltage and higher current ranges but also the more challenging, medium voltage and lower current range. Medium voltage embedded motor drives topologies it's the focus in this research for industrial pumps and fans for enhanced energy savings and CO2 reductions in industrial processes. This will allow the creation of higher power embedded motor drives which currently do not exist in the market. Although a much smaller segment of electric motors market, investigating and developing technological solutions for medium voltage industrial drives based on the extensive experience and benefits proven with the ongoing research on embedded motor drives at the University of Nottingham will further the development of solutions which can make a real difference in reducing global energy consumption.

目前，据估计，全球发电的30％用于驱动工业应用中的电动机。从低压应用中实施的电动机主导着工业电动机市场，但该市场的大约10％致力于为中电压应用的电动机生产，例如滚动厂，水处理厂，纸张和纸浆工业和其他高功率应用程序，在低功能驱动器上，该公司在低功能驱动器上进行了研究。利用可变速度驱动器的吸收，这将在全球范围内节省巨大的能源。这项研究将调查有关低电压和较高电流范围的高功率EMD体系结构的可扩展性和可行性的解决方案，但也更具挑战性，中型电压和较低的电流范围。中型电压嵌入电机驱动器拓扑是这项研究的重点，用于工业泵和风扇，以增强能源节省和二氧化碳减少工业流程。这将允许创建市场目前不存在的高功率嵌入式电动机驱动器。尽管电动机市场的较小部分，但根据经验丰富的经验和收益，通过对诺丁汉大学嵌入电机驱动器进行的持续研究，研究和开发了中型电压工业驱动器的技术解决方案，将进一步开发解决方案，从而在减少全球能源消耗方面真正差异。
