- Global electricity demand is growing for a while and continuing to be strong.
- Nowadays, solar PVs today account for approximately less than 7% of the total, leaving more than 93% to rotating generators.
- Electricity is going to industry, appliances and cooling dominate. Electric vehicles are increasing but will not represent a majority share, not even in the long-term scenario. With 93% of generated electricity and 53% of consumed electricity, electrical machines are by far the biggest contributors to the existence of the entire electric power system.
- Structural shifts imply electrification: moving to less energy-intensive processes. Energy efficiency implies improved design of electrical machines, and optimal regulation of their operation through variable-speed drives. Material savings imply more effective manufacturing and recycling.
