Abstract—The paper presents a developed adapted theoretical model for increasing the energy efficiency of induction motor drives. The model uses input/output parameters that provide practical opportunities for a wide scope of applications and improved conditions for implementation of energy efficiency measures. The study performed confirms the applicability of characteristics of induction motors, contained in a selected software product, for contactless measurement of the active power. The analytical description and mathematical modelling, supported by 36 simulation scenarios, justify the development of the target-adapted model. The plotted regression relationships demonstrate high accuracy with an average coefficient of determination of 0.999. The study recommends measures for increasing the load on the drives and implementing energy-efficient motors that demonstrate significant energy savings. The simulation model proposes an algorithm that provides a basis for creating specialized software products for automation of scientific research and conducting of energy audits.
