This paper defines the efficiency similarity of different motor driving devices. Based on the efficiency function characteristics which can be approximately considered a concave, non-negative function through the origin, we present a kind of optimal control method for a felt driven by three different motors in paper machine. It gives the minimum total power consumption. The optimal control method is to keep the same torque rate for each motor driving device. This method is independent of the linearity or nonlinearity of the system and has no need for the system’s state equation or transfer function. Since the shapes of efficiency functions in nature are similar, the conclusion can also be applied to the energy optimization of other general devices.

This paper presents a class of optimization functions, and gives the optimal value. The optimal conclusion is applied to energy optimization for general devices. When the total load is fixed and the devices are used with same model, the optimal control method is given: adjusting each device to the same load, the minimum energy is required.

This paper presents a kind of optimal control method for variable-speed fan stations with the same model fans, and gives the minimum total power consumption. The optimal control method is given for the fixed total flow. The conclusion can also be applied to the energy optimization of other general devices..
