About EEMODS '07
Following the success of the first four conferences in Lisbon (1996),
London (1999), Treviso (2002), and Heidelberg (2005), the International
Copper Association with the scientific and technical support of
the European Commission DG Joint Research Centre is organising the
5th International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven
Systems to be held in, Beijing China 10 to 13 June, 2007.
The previous EEMODS events have been very successful in attracting
an international and distinguished audience, representing a wide
variety of stakeholders in the development, manufacturing and promotion
of energy-efficient motor systems, including key policy makers.
EEMODS ’07 will provide a forum to discuss and debate the latest
developments in the impacts of electrical motor systems on energy
and the environment, the policies and programmes adopted and planned,
and the technical and commercial advances made in the dissemination
and penetration of energy-efficient motor sys-tems.
The conference is very international by nature, and aims to attract
papers and participants from every corner of the world. The conference
will cover the following topics:
Topics

campaigns, transmission equipment, motor repair, motor databases,
motor rebate programmes.
2. Power Electronics and Drives

classes, marking schemes, labels); comprehensive market transformation
strategies & programs; minimum energy performance requirements;
voluntary agreements; procurement programmes; promotion of efficient
systems via ESCOs, incentive programs, financing facilities, carbon
markets (JI and CDM), white certificates, and other mechanisms;
information and training.
