Ecologically useful, ecologically valuable. Lenze BlueGreen Solutions
Almost half of the electrical energy that is produced today is consumed by industrial applications. Responsible for a large portion of the total amount of consumed energy are electrical drive systems. And exactly for this reason, the highest potential for an increase in energy efficiency can be found here. With sustainable effects: a better utilisation includes at the same time less pollution of the environment, a relief for the resources and a reduction of energy costs - with a steady and consistent productivity.
Saving energy is one of the greatest challenges we face today and which we happily face. We show you how more efficient use can be made of energy with intelligent drive and automation technology - with our Lenze BlueGreen Solutions.
Increase of energy efficiency: Saving can be so simple
How your company and the environment can benefit equally
There are a whole range of parameters which determine the energy efficiency of drives. There are an equally large number of places where you can start to improve energy efficiency. But the results gained don't always reflect the amount of work involved. You first need a detailed analysis of the mechanical process and its energy requirements in order to determine effective and therefore meaningful measures. This is the principle applied by our Lenze BlueGreen Solutions.
Our result:
- The greatest potential to increase the energy efficiency lies in an intelligent energy supply (75 %).
- Followed by the application of drive components with a high degree of efficiency (15 %).
- An additional potential is the utilisation of the braking energy (10 %).
Efficient components translate into an overall efficient system
The greater the efficiency of a drive, the more efficiently it runs and the same is true not just of its individual components, but the complete system.
To avoid squandering energy, we need to start making the right choices from the point at which we select drive components. Depending on the machine's task, there are different approaches to saving energy.
Lenze BlueGreen Solutions for your machine tasks:
- Inverters
- Low self energy consumption
- High efficiency
- Three-phase AC motors
- In accordance with the international efficiency guidelines
- Designed for the application with an inverter
- Synchronous motors instead of asynchronous motors
- 30 % less energy consumption during the typical positioning applications
- Small inverter
- Energy-efficient gearboxes
- Helical gearbox and bevel gearbox with a high degree of efficiency

To increase the energy efficiency of drives, we are therefore pursuing three approaches:

It's easy to save energy with drive technology
All drives can be assigned to one of our twelve Drive Solutions which can be used to easily highlight those measures for minimising energy consumption which are effective, less effective or totally unsuitable.
The overview is available to download from this page and contains a detailed list of energy saving measures for each drive solution.
