Abstract
This paper summarizes the current status of the US Motor Systems Market Assessment. This component of the Department of Energy's Motor Challenge program will provide a detailed portrait of the inventory of motor systems currently in use in US industrial facilities, a basis for projecting changes in that inventory, and a framework for estimating the effect of Motor Challenge on industrial electric consumption. The paper describes the objectives and principal research activities of the Market Assessment. It concludes with a summary of what is currently known about the population of industrial motor systems in the United States. This baseline serves as the point of departure for the design of the Market Assessment research methods.
