Overview

EN 61800-9-1:2017 (CLC adoption of IEC 61800-9-1:2017) defines a general methodology for ecodesign and energy efficiency standardization of power driven equipment using the Extended Product Approach (EPA) and the Semi Analytic Model (SAM). It is applicable to motor systems driven by a motor starter or a converter / power drive system (PDS) and specifies how to determine the losses of the extended product and its sub-parts for use in energy efficiency standards.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Extended Product Approach (EPA): Framework for treating an equipment assembly (motor + driven application + starter/converter) as one “extended product” for energy performance assessment.
• Semi Analytic Model (SAM): A structured model to represent and combine loss contributions from PDS, motor, motor starter and driven application to derive a consolidated energy indicator.
• Loss determination methodology: Procedures for establishing speed vs. torque loss points, combining SAMs, and deriving operating points for PDS and motor systems.
• Operational profiles and duty cycles: Guidance on calculating energy consumption from duty profiles, operating points over time and integrating losses across use profiles (see Annexes B and C).
• Stakeholder responsibilities: Clarifies roles for standards committees, manufacturers and test laboratories in defining energy efficiency indicators (EEI) and normative requirements.
• Merging models: Rules for merging SAMs of sub-systems into an EPA result, including interpolation methods for intermediate operating points.
• Normative references: Cross-references to related standards (e.g., IEC/EN 60034 series, IEC 61800-9-2) necessary for measurements and harmonized testing.

Practical applications

Who uses EN 61800-9-1:2017 and why:

• Standards developers and regulatory bodies - to define ecodesign requirements and energy efficiency indices (EEI) for powered equipment.
• OEMs and motor manufacturers - to design and certify motor systems, converters and starters to meet energy targets.
• Driven-equipment manufacturers (pumps, fans, compressors) - to assess system-level energy performance using the EPA and SAM.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies - to apply the specified loss-determination methods and validate EEI claims.
• Energy auditors and consultants - to model real-world energy consumption and advise on system improvements.

Practical benefits:

• Enables consistent, system-level energy efficiency metrics.
• Supports ecodesign compliance, product labeling and procurement specifications.
• Facilitates comparison between alternative drive and motor configurations by quantifying aggregated losses.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.

INTRODUCTION
IEC SC 22G includes the standardization task force for dealing with energy efficiency of motor
systems. It has close collaboration with several other technical committees (for example,
IEC TC 2, IEC SC 121A).
IEC SC 22G maintains responsibility for all relevant aspects in the field of energy efficiency
and ecodesign requirements for power electronics, switchgear, control gear and power drive
systems and their industrial applications.
The core requirements of energy efficiency standardization are illustrated in Figure 1. The
work has been agreed to provide the reasonable target as a best compromise.

Each part is further subdivided into several subparts, published either as International
Standards or as Technical Specifications or Technical Reports, some of which have already
been published. Other will be published with the part number followed by a dash and a
second number identifying the subdivision (for example, IEC 61800-9-2).
This subpart of IEC 61800-9 is an International Standard for characterizing the energy
efficiency of motor systems when supplied by a motor starter or by a variable
voltage/frequency converter. The goal of this part of IEC 61800-9 is to establish a clear and
simple system for the comparison of the energy performance of motor systems that can help
manufacturers to improve their products, to give users the necessary transparency and
information and to provide a robust reference base for regulators and minimum energy
performance standards.
The IEC 61800-9 series (Ecodesign for power drive systems, motor starters, power
electronics and their driven applications) will consist of the following subparts:
– Part 9-1: General requirements for setting energy efficiency standards for power driven
equipment using the extended product approach (EPA) and semi analytic model (SAM)

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61800 specifies the general methodology to energy efficiency standardization
for any extended product by using the guidance of the extended product approach (EPA).
It enables product committees for driven equipment connected to motor systems (so called
extended products) to interface with the relative power losses of the connected motor system
(e.g. power drive system) in order to calculate the system energy efficiency for the whole
application.
This is based on specified calculation models for speed/load profiles, the duty profiles and
relative power losses of appropriate torque versus speed operating points.
This document specifies the methodology of determination of losses of the extended product
and its sub-parts.
This document is applicable to motor systems operated by a motor starter or by a converter
(power drive systems).
This document does not specify requirements for environmental impact declarations.

4 Requirements for the development of energy efficiency standards for
extended products
4.1 General
This document specifies a methodology to determine the energy efficiency index of an
application, based on the concept of semi analytic models (SAM). The methodology shall be
referred to as the extended product approach (EPA).
The responsibilities and tasks of the different stakeholders creating or using these extended
products standards, as well as the data flows in-between, are required.
a) Specific information about the equipment shall be considered:
– The torque versus speed profile of the driven load as specified by the load
manufacturer or other pertinent entity (e.g. regulatory authority, other specified
organization).
– The losses of the Motor System or its constituents (motor, CDM or starter) at reference
part-load operating points. These shall be provided by the different manufacturers as
specified in IEC 61800-9-2.
b) Information about the driven equipment shall be considered:
– The duty profile of the driven equipment. Pertinent entities can for example define
typical applications of their extended products, each associated with a typical duty
profile.
c) Extended product approach shall be used to determine an energy efficiency indicator
(losses, efficiency, energy consumption, etc.):
– IEC 61800-9-2 specifies the methods for the determination of losses of the motor
system using measurement and/or calculations.
– Other pertinent entity(ies) (e.g. regulatory authority, other specified organization) shall
define how to combine the losses of the motor system and the losses of the load, to
obtain an overall energy efficiency index for the extended product within the defined
application.
The interactions between the different stakeholders are shown in Figure 3.

4.2 Responsibility of the extended product standard or technical committee
Based on the general principles described in this document, it shall be the responsibility of the
entity(ies) dealing with a type of extended product (e.g. regulatory authority, other specified
organization) to specify the semi analytic model of the driven load and of the extended
product for the product-specific application(s).
Other pertinent entity(ies) (e.g. regulatory authority, other specified organization) shall specify
and standardize
– one or more torque versus speed profiles (load profiles) as described in Annex C
considering typical loads,
– one or more duty profiles as described in Annex C considering typical service conditions,
– an appropriate method for determining the losses at intermediate operating points based
on the data from the motor, CDM and PDS (see 7.3),
– a Semi analytic model for the Extended Product considering the extended product
approach (EPA) as described in Clause 7, using the part-load operating points of the
motor system as determined according to IEC 61800-9-2: 2016, Annex E, and
– a method for determining an energy efficiency indicator for the extended product under
their responsibility (see Annex B for example).

– 14 – IEC 61800-9-1:2017  IEC 2017
The extended product standard or technical committee shall apply permissible tolerances for
the part-load losses of the motor system as defined in IEC 61800-9-2.
NOTE The motor system data can consist of PDS data as well as individual data for CDM and motor. IEC 61800-
9-2 provides information about the determination of PDS data based on individual motor and CDM data.
The number of part-load operating points used by the semi analytic model of the extended
product shall be limited to an appropriate choice out of maximum eight points.
4.3 Elements to achieve the extended product approach
The semi analytic model (SAM) model of the extended product allows combining the losses at
the reference operating points to derive the losses at any other operating point. Elements
required for the extended product approach are described in Table 1 and Figure 6.
To determine the overall losses or efficiency of an extended product implemented in an
application, it is required to go through several steps.
Several elements shall be combined.
a) The SAM of the motor system, specified in IEC 61800-9-2, giving its relative losses at
several normalized operating points. The motor system can be a power drive system
(PDS) or can consist of a motor and a motor starter (contactor, softstarter,etc.).
– When the motor system is a PDS, the SAM of the motor system is based on the
concept of reference PDS (RPDS). It is a "typical" PDS to which the physical PDS
under consideration is compared in terms of energy efficiency.
– When the motor system is based on a motor starter, the calculation of the losses is
simpler; there is no need to use any reference motor starter.
b) The SAM of the driven equipment (pump, compressor, fan, etc.), giving the losses or
efficiency of the load machine at typical operation. It is the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer or the associated product committee.
c) The extended product approach, combining the SAM of the motor system and the SAM
of the driven equipment (and also if necessary efficiency values for the transmission). It is
the responsibility of the manufacturer of the extended product or the associated pertinent
entity. The extended product approach uses application-related data (required operating
points, duty profile, working time, etc.), in order to determine the energy efficiency index of
the application. This index allows comparing the energy efficiency of several motor
systems for a given application, or several modes of operation of a given extended
product.

5 Requirements for the semi analytic model (SAM) of the extended product
SAMs are necessary to determine the typical relative power losses of the subparts according
to the extended product approach in order to determine its overall losses.
Clause 5 describes the basic requirements which shall be fulfilled while specifying the SAM of
the extended product.
The SAM of the extended product shall include the following aspects:
– average operating (service) conditions to derive the losses of the driven equipment;
– typical torque versus speed profile (operating profile) of the driven equipment;
– typical histogram of required power versus time (the duty profile) of the driven equipment;
– typical tolerance of the loss parameters of the driven equipment;
– the embedded relative losses of the motor system according to the data determined
according to IEC 61800-9-2.
The outcome of the SAM shall be used to calculate the energy efficiency index (EEI) which
shall be able to quantitatively distinct between typical efficient and typical inefficient
applications.
The EEI value shall be given in a metric scheme which allows displaying the value in the
user's documentation or the catalogue.
In order to judge a system concerning energy efficiency, all components of the system have to
be taken into account. Speed regulation by using a power drive system (PDS) is
advantageous in a plurality of cases, but on the other hand it also creates additional losses.
The energy savings that can be achieved are very often depending on the operating point
(OP) at which the extended product is operated as required by the application.
Therefore, it is necessary to have information about the application and its duty, and this
information shall be provided by technical committees determining the SAM for the application
specific extended product.
– 16 – IEC 61800-9-1:2017  IEC 2017
Two application-relative characteristics are particularly useful for describing the extended
product and the way it is operated.
a) The torque or power versus speed profile. This curve describes how the torque
required by a machine depends on its speed. It essentially depends on the type of
machine (motor, pump, fan, etc.).
b) The load-time profile, also called duty profile. This graph describes the various power
levels required by the application, including standby, and the fraction of time during which
the machine is operated at these levels. It essentially depends on the sizing of the motor
and on how the extended product is operated in practice.
These two characteristics can be used as input data to compare potential control solutions in
terms of energy efficiency.
Annex C provides examples of typical torque or power versus speed profiles as well as an
example of operating points over time profile. It also illustrates how to combine both to
determine the weighted electrical power consumed by the application, in order to compare
several motor control architectures in terms of energy savings.
6 Requirements for the semi analytic model (SAM) of the motor system
6.1 General
The SAM of the motor system (e.g. a PDS) shall include all parameters which are necessary
for the determination of the relative power losses for specific different torque versus speed
operating points.
The determination of the EEI of an extended product needs a description of the relative losses
of the motor system in order to justify the most efficient solution.
For further requirements of the SAM of the motors system, see IEC 61800-9-2.
For the SAM of the motor system, the relative losses (specific loss in operation point divided
by nominal power of the motor system) shall be used for specification in order to cover also
cases, where the speed of the extended product is zero.
NOTE This is not aligned with the so called efficiency (η) of line fed motors which is directly given as a
percentage of the mechanical output power to the sum of input electrical power and the power losses.
6.2 Operating points of the PDS
In order to set only a few appropriate measurement points or calculation results to develop
the energy consumption of different extended products, eight points in the torque versus
speed diagram shall be specified (see Figure 4).
These relative losses (containing the relative losses of the motor system), are the output of
the SAM for the motor system and one input of the SAM for the extended product
(see Table 1).
