3. Operational Cost Analysis

3.1 Energy Consumption Models

	
	
	
	

		
		

			Annual Energy Cost = Motor Power (kW) × Load Factor × Electricity Rate × Operating Hours  
		

	

Case Study:

• Conventional 132 kW system @ $0.14/kWh:‘132\times 0.82\times 0.14\times 4,800=$72,600/year`
• Model 900 with PMSM motor:
  110 × 0.94 × 0.14 × 4,800 = $66,700/year (15% lower kWh/ton)
