A -- ENERGY OPTIMIZATION CONTROLS FOR ALTERNATING CURRENT INDUCTION MOTORS SOL AEERL-5-25 DUE 030695 POC M. P. Huneycutt, Extramural Coordinator, 919-541-2903. The Environmental Protection Agency, under the authority of the Clean Air Act, Section 102(b), and in cooperation with the Departments of Energy and Defense, wishes to stimulate research, development, and testing to increase the efficiency of large alternating current induction motors. Fuzzy logic based controllers for small electric motors have shown efficiency gains of up to 20%. EPA is now considering providing partial funding for the design and testing of controllers for 100 horse power and larger motors. EPA can also provide access to federal facilities with large numbers of such large electric motors on which to test newly developed high efficiency controllers. Non-profit and not- for-profit research and educational institutions who have expertise in this area and who are willing to share in the costs of such a project may obtain information on EPA's plans by writing to the above address by January 27, 1995, to request a copy of solicitation AEERL 5-25. Oral requests will not be accepted. (0017)
