Em..
100 kW is extreme.
How to you plan to power them ?
A new VFD+3-phase is potentially == same efficiency as a AC brushless
servo, and internally they are similar.
In my experience, the ac brushless motors are more efficient, since
smaller motor deliver the same power and have lower noise and heat less.
But, thats at 2.5 kW, and upto 40 kW on VFD + 3-phase.
I don´t think efficiency numbers are commonly available in the bigger
ones- thus I don´t think there is a lot of data.
Peak efficiencies are about 92-93% for Tesla, who designed their own,
and have done 12 revisions of it in the last 10 years.
Thus, it is quite likely that all common cots stuff is quite a bit less
efficient.
The most efficient one I have seen with data was a recent post by a
member, with about 86% efficiency, on a setup I might think is typical,
but much smaller.
Peak efficiency was quoted as 92% for a given setup, in their range.
Thus, it seems You might get somewhere around 85-90%, most likely.
My VFD+phase motors vs AC brushless experiences - the AC brushless is
very much more efficient.
The AC is smaller, has more torque at low speed, reacts much faster,
generates less waste heat.
