Advanced Technology Helps Existing Electric Motors Cut Energy Use

Intelligent Energy Corporation (IEC), headquartered in Albrightsville with manufacturing facilities in Wilkes-Barre, has designed, developed, produced and is marketing the GeoWattSaver.

The GeoWattSaver is an electronic motor management system designed to operate on three-phase motors with an integrated process to reduce the amount of energy used and emissions generated.

The use of this new technology will reduce the amount of energy required in motors by 25 – 35 percent with simple pay back periods of 12 to 24 months. These savings will not only reduce a company’s electric bill, but will reduce pollutants that harm the environment, and increase the life of electric motors.

IEC has also successfully developed auditing tools, software and procedures to identify opportunities for saving energy.

This innovative energy saving system responds to motor loads and automatically adjusts to the motor torque requirement for an application. GeoWattSaver is applicable to most 25 to 500 horsepower motors. Companies from the Industries of the Future have contacted IEC to help them save energy and reduce pollutants, including Daimler

Chrysler (DE), The Ford Motor Company (MI), General Motors (MI & Mexico), Kennedy Die-Casting Company (MA), Durr Automotive Systems (MI), The City of Flint (MI), Riverdale Mills Corporation (MA) and Ampal Corporation (PA).

Audit tests and confirmed evaluation reports have been submitted to each of these companies and others, all of which indicate substantial and immediate dollar savings in electrical energy used and substantial pollutants reduced. These companies have praised not only the energy and pollutant savings and reductions, but also the automatic, integrated by-pass system, a “fail-safe” technique that does not shut down a company’s operation should there be some malfunction.

IEC has the financial and program support of Pennsylvania’s Ben Franklin Technology Partners, the Pennsylvania Governor’s Action Team, the Reinvestment Fund and a growing number of private sector investors.
