B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified
baseline scenario:
>>
The proposed project activity is the installation of a new grid-connected wind power plant. As per
ACM0002: “Consolidated baseline methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable
sources”, version 07, the baseline scenario is the following:
“If the project activity is the installation of a new grid-connected renewable power plant/unit, the baseline
scenario is the following: Electricity delivered to the grid by the project would have otherwise been
generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants and by the addition of new generation sources
as reflected in the combined margin (CM) calculations described in the “Tool to calculate the emission
factor for a electricity system.”
According to the above discussion, the equivalent electricity provided by the Central China Grid is
selected as the baseline scenario for the proposed project.
Parameters and data sources for determining the baseline scenario are listed in Table B-2:

and demonstration of additionality): >>
The proposed project is a public bid project. On February 08, 2007, local government sent out the bid
invitation document of the proposed project on. On the document, the government gave out the principle
on feed-in tariff, which was “the feed-in tariff of the project will be no more than 0.7855 RMB/KWh”.
After evaluating the financial situation of the project, the project owner found the project faced serious
investment barrier.
In order to overcome the barrier, the project owner got in touch with CDM Project Development Center
of CPCEC to discuss the possibility of CDM development intending to get the support from CERs sales.
According to the expected CDM development income analysis from CDM Project Development Center
of CPCEC on February 12, 2007, the CDM income will make compensation for the tariff to a degree of
0.083 RMB/KWh.
On February 26, 2007, a management meeting was held to discuss the bidding tariff for the proposed
project. Based on the principle on feed-in tariff in the bid invitation document and expected CERs sales,
all the participants reached a consensus to choose 0.78 RMB/KWh as the bidding tariff and to develop the
proposed project as a CDM project after winning the bid.
On April 19, 2007, the project owner won the bid, and 0.78 RMB/KWh was confirmed as the fixed feed-
in tariff. The project owner continued discussing with CDM Project Development Center of CPCEC
about the details of CDM application. On April 26, 2007, a report of CDM development financial
evaluation was made by CDM Project Development Center of CPCEC to calculate CDM revenue which
is a necessity to improve the financial situation of the project. On June 06, 2007, the CDM Development
Service Contract was signed between the project owner and CDM Project Development Center of CPCEC.
The design institute compiling the Feasibility Study Report (FSR) for the project has also fully considered
CDM incentives and revenue when compiling the FSR, which is reflected in the FSR, the main reference
for the construction and implementation of the project.
The construction of the proposed project started on November 26, 2007, which has been applied as the
starting date of the project activity.
In conclusion, during the decision-making process, the project proponent has seriously considered the
CDM revenue to overcome the investment barrier of the proposed project. The milestone of the proposed
project is shown in Table B-3:

The additionality of the project activity is demonstrated using the steps described in the ‘Tool for the
demonstration and assessment of additionality’ (version 05).
Step 1. Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with mandatory laws and
regulations
Sub-step 1a: Define alternatives to the project activity
The methodological step requires a number of sub-steps, the first of which is the identification of realistic
and credible alternatives to the project activity. There are only a few alternatives that are realistic and
credible in the context of the Central China Power Grid:
Alternative 1: The proposed wind power activity undertaken without being registered as a CDM project
activity
Alternative 2: Thermal power generation resulting in the same amount of power delivery to the grid
Alternative 3: Power generation from other renewable power sources, such as hydropower plants,
biomass power plants or solar power plants
Alternative 4: Equivalent electricity service provided by the Central China Grid
The hydro power is unrealistic due to limited resources in Duchang County. The total exploitable hydro
resources in Duchang County is amounted to 1.8MW2, and average operation hour for hydro power plants
in Jiangxi Province in 2006 is 2730 hours3, which means it is difficult to develop a hydro power plant
with equivalent installed capacity based on limited hydro resources.
Due to technology development status and high cost for power generation, investments of solar power
and biomass project of equivalent installed capacity as the proposed project are far from being financial
attractive45.

page 10
Sub-step 1b: Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations
Considering the same annual electricity generation, the alternative baseline scenario for the proposed
project should be a thermal power plant with installed capacity of 15MW. According to Chinese power
regulations, fuel-fired power plants of less than 135MW are prohibited to construct in the areas covered
by large grids6. Therefore, Alternative 2 is not in compliance with Chinese regulations, and is not a
realistic and credible alternative.
For Alternative 1, the proposed project undertaken without being registered as a CDM project activity
satisfies China’s regulations.
For Alternative 4, equivalent electricity service provided by Central China Grid satisfies China’s
regulations.
Therefore, Alternative 1 and Alternative 4 comply with China’s regulations and will be analyzed in Step
2 as potential alternatives.
Step 2 Investment analysis
Sub-step 2a - Determine appropriate analysis method
The “Tool for the Demonstration and Assessment of Additionality” recommends three analysis methods.
They are simple cost analysis (option I), investment comparison analysis (option II) and benchmark
analysis (option III).
The proposed project produces economic benefits through the sales of electricity other than CDM related
income; therefore, the simple cost analysis cannot be taken. The investment comparison analysis is not
applicable to the proposed project because the alternative of the proposed project is “Equivalent
electricity service provided by the Central China Grid”, not a new investment project. Hence, the
benchmark analysis is chosen and the Internal Return Rate (IRR) is used to assess the financial viability
of the project activity.
Sub-step 2b - Options III: Apply benchmark analysis
The investment analysis is conducted through a calculation of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the
project and IRR is compared with a benchmark stated on the Interim Rules on Economic Assessment of
Electrical Engineering Retrofit Projects, issued by the State Power Corporation of China. The Interim
Rules provide a guideline for projects in the electric power industry which state a minimum Internal Rate
of Return (IRR) of 8%7. This minimum IRR is of total investment and is a widely accepted standard for
projects in the power industry. Many of China’s power projects apply this benchmark IRR for financial
assessment and use it as a hurdle rate for investment in the power industry such as wind power projects,
hydropower projects, fossil fuel fired projects, transmission and substation projects.

2) Comparison of the project IRR and the financial benchmark
In accordance with benchmark analysis, if the financial indicators of the proposed project, such as the
project IRR, are lower than the benchmark, the proposed project is not considered to be financially
attractive.
Table B-5 shows the project IRR with and without the income from CERs sale. Without the sales of
CERs, the project IRR is 6.51% which is lower than the financial benchmark. Thus the proposed project
is not financially attractive. Taking into account the CDM revenues, the project IRR is 8.02% which is
higher than the financial benchmark, and the proposed project becomes financially attractive.

For the proposed project, four parameters were selected as sensitive factors to check out the financial
attractiveness:
1) Static Total Investment
2) Power Generation
3) Tariff
4) Annual O&M Cost
Assuming the above four factors vary in the range of -10% to 10%, the project IRR ( without the income
from CERs sales) varies to different extents as shown in Table B-6 and Figure B-1 below.

The total investment is an important factor affecting the financial attractiveness of the proposed project.
In the case that the total investment decreases by more than 10%, IRR of the proposed project begins to
exceed the benchmark. However, most of the total investment is related to purchasing raw materials and
equipments and the trend of price for raw materials and equipments is rising. Therefore, the total
investment is not likely to decrease by more than 10%.
Another important factor affecting the financial attractiveness is power generation. The output of power
generation is subject to two factors, namely, the total installed capacity and the annual operational hours.
As the total installed capacity has already been fixed, the output of power generation lies only in
13. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
CDM – Executive Board
page 13
operational hours. According to the feasibility report, the average wind velocity for the recent 30 years,
20 years and 10 years are 2.7m/s, 2.6m/s and 2.5m/s respectively. Lower PLF (plant load factor) due to
lower wind velocity will result in reduced power generation. For this reason, the chances of power
generation exceeding 10% are extremely small due to the fact that the average wind speed at the proposed
project site has been decreasing over the past 30 years.
Tariff is also an important factor affecting the financial attractiveness. In the case that tariff increases by
more than 10%, IRR of the proposed project begins to exceed the benchmark. In Letter of Acceptance for
Bidding8, RMB 0.78/kWh (including VAT) is chosen as the on-grid tariff which will be fixed in the
future. Hence, it is impossible that the tariff increases to 10%.
Based on the Investment Analysis above, the proposed project is not financially attractive without CERs
sales revenues. Alternative 1 of the proposed project undertaken without being registered as a CDM
project activity is not feasible.
In conclusion, Alternative 4 - Equivalent electricity service provided by the Central China Grid is
the only feasible alternative.
Step 4 Common practice analysis
Sub-step 4a Analyze other activities similar to the proposed project activity:
According to China Wind Farm Installed Capacity Statistic in 2007 by Shi Pengfei9,there are no other
wind power projects that are operational in Jiangxi Province10. The proposed project is one of the first
wind power projects in Jiangxi Province. In conclusion, there are no other activities similar to the
proposed project activity.
Sub-step 4b Discuss any similar options that are occurring
Since there is serious investment barrier for the proposed project, the CDM has been considered in early
evaluation period. The proposed project is one of the first wind power projects in Jiangxi Province. Hence,
the proposed project is not a common practice.
In conclusion, the proposed project is additional, not (part of) the baseline scenario. Without CDM
support, the proposed project would unlikely occur. The proposed project can reduce the greenhouse gas
emissions. If the proposed project fails to be registered as a CDM project, this portion of emission
reduction can not be realized.

ACM0002, Baseline Emission Factor of Chinese Power Grids in 200811 is applied as the following steps,
and the data are from China Electric Power Yearbook and China Energy Statistical Yearbook.
The key methodological steps are:
1. Calculating the Baseline Emission(BEy);
2. Calculating the Project Emission(PEy);
3. Calculating the Leakage Emission( LEy);
4. Calculating the Emission Reduction(ERy)
1. Calculating the Baseline Emission
According to ACM0002, the baseline emission (BEy) is the product of the baseline emission factor
(EFgrid,CM,y) times the electricity supplied by the project activity to the grid (EGy). First, the baseline
emission factor is calculated as the Combined Margin emission factor.
1.1 Calculation of the baseline emission factor (EFgrid,CM,y)
According to ACM0002, the baseline emission factor (EFgrid,CM,y) is calculated by “Tool to calculate the
emission factor for an electricity system”.
The baseline emission factor (EFgrid,CM,y) is the Combined Margin emission factor, which consists of the
weighted average of Operating Margin emission factor and Build Margin emission factor by utilizing the
latest data vintage (ex-ante) for the Central China Grid
Six steps are utilized to calculate the baseline emission:
Step 1 – Identify the relevant electric power system.
Step 2 – Select an operating margin (OM) method.
Step 3 – Calculate the operating margin emission factor (EF grid,OM,y)according to the selected method.
Step 4 – Identify the cohort of power units to be included in the build margin (BM).
Step 5 – Calculate the build margin emission factor (EF grid,BM,y).
Step 6 – Calculate the combined margin emissions factor (EF grid,CM,y).
Step 1 – Identify the relevant electric power system
According to ‘Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system’ and ‘Baseline Emission
Factor of Chinese Power Grids in 2008’ published by Chinese DNA, the relevant electric power system
of the proposed project is Central China Grid, and the data of calculation are from China Electric Power
Yearbook and China Energy Statistical Yearbook.
Step 2 –Select an operating margin (OM) method
The calculation of (EF grid,OM,y) is based on one of the four following methods:
11
http://cdm.ccchina.gov.cn/web/NewsInfo.asp?NewsId=2875
15. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
CDM – Executive Board
page 15
(a) Simple OM, or
(b) Simple Adjusted OM, or
(c) Dispatch Data Analysis OM, or
(d) Average OM.
As the detailed dispatch data of the Central China Grid is unavailable, method (c) and method (b) is not
applicable.
Method (a) can only be used where low-cost/must run resources12 constitute less than 50% of total grid
generation in: 1) average of the five most recent years, or 2) based on long-term normals for
hydroelectricity production.
According to the total electricity generation in 2002-2006 of the Central China Grid, the low-cost/must
run resources constitute less than 50% of total amount grid generating output (see Annex 3 for details).
Therefore, Method (a) simple OM is used to calculate the simple OM emission factor utilize the data of
2004-2006 in ex-ante option.
Step 3 –Calculate the operating margin emission factor (EFgrid, OM, y) according to the selected
method.
According to “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system”, the simple OM emission
factor in y year (EFgrid,OM,simple,y ) is calculated as the generation-weighted average CO2 emissions per unit
net electricity generation (tCO2/MWh) of all generating power plants serving the system, not including
low-cost / must-run power plants / units. It may be calculated:
Option A: Based on data on fuel consumption and net electricity generation of each power plant / unit, or
Option B: Based on data on net electricity generation, the average efficiency of each power unit and the
fuel type(s) used in each power unit, or
Option C: Based on data on the total net electricity generation of all power plants serving the system and
the fuel types and total fuel consumption of the project electricity system.
Option A should be preferred and must be used if fuel consumption data is available for each power
plant/unit. In other cases, option B or option C can be used. For the purpose of calculating the simple
OM, Option C should only be used if the necessary data for option A and option B is not available and
can only be used if only nuclear and renewable power generation are considered as low-cost/must-run
power sources and if the quantity of electricity supplied to the grid by these sources is known.
Because the fuel consumption and net electricity generation data of each power plant / unit in the Central
China Grid is unavailable, but the total net electricity generation, the fuel types and total fuel
consumption of all power plants in the Central China Grid is available and the low-cost/must run power
resources in Central China Power Grid include only nuclear and renewable power generation,, so option
C is selected.
The formula of EF grid,OM,simple,y in option C is:
12
The low-cost/must run resources include hydro power, geothermal sources, wind power, solar sources etc

Where:
EFgrid,OMsimple,y = Simple operating margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh);
FCi,y =Amount of fossil fuel type i consumed in the project electricity system in year y (mass
or volume unit);
NCVi,y = Net calorific value (energy content) of fossil fuel type i in year y (GJ / mass or volume

EFCO2,i,y = CO2 emission factor of fossil fuel type i in year y (tCO2/GJ);
EGy = Net electricity generated and delivered to the grid by all power sources serving the
system, not including low-cost / must-run power plants / units, in year y (MWh);
i = All fossil fuel types combusted in power sources in the project electricity system in
year y;
y = the three most recent years for which data is available at the time of submission of the
CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation.
The data in the calculation is from China Electric Power Yearbook 2005-2007.
Step 4 – Identify the cohort of power units to be included in the build margin
According to “Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system”, the sample group m
consists of either 1) the five power plants that have been built most recently; or 2) the power plant
capacity additions in the electricity system that comprise 20% of the system generation and that built
most recently. The one with larger annual generation should be used.
However, the information on the five power plants built most recently in the Central China Grid is not
publicly available. Therefore, option 2 is selected.
EB guidance on the application of approved methodology AM0005 now consolidated into ACM0002 can
be applied for the purposed project for estimating the build margin emission factor for each fuel type. The
proposed deviations accepted and the alternative solutions in absence of data were as follows:
1) It is agreed to use the new capacity additions during the past 1-3 years to calculate the Build Margin
emission factor;
2) It is agreed that the use of the installed capacity to replace the annual electricity generation to calculate
the Build Margin emission factor;
Using the average fuel efficiency of existing power plants as the baseline will bring about higher baseline
emission and result in higher emission reductions, as the average fuel efficiency of old power plants is
lower than the new power plants, which is not a conservative method.
Step 5 - Calculation of the Build Margin Emission Factor (EFgrid,BM,y)
17. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
CDM – Executive Board
page 17
Due to the difficulty of separating the coal-fired, gas-fired or oil-fired installed capacity from the total
fuel-fired installed capacity, according to the suggestion on the alternative solutions in absence of data by
CDM EB, the Build Margin emission factor (EFBM,y ) will be calculated as :
1) Based on the most recent year’s energy balance of the Central China Grid, calculating the percentages
of CO2 emissions from the coal-fired, oil-fired and gas-fired power plants in total fuel-fired CO2
emissions;
2) Based on the most advanced commercialized technologies which applied by the coal-fired, oil-fired
and gas-fired power plants, calculating the fuel-fired emission factor of the Central China Grid;
3) Calculating the Build Margin emission factor (EFBM,y)through fuel-fired emission factor times the
weighted-average of fuel-fired installed capacity which is more close to 20% in the new capacity
additions. The detailed calculation as follows:
Sub-Step 5a. Calculating the percentages of CO2 emissions from the coal-fired, oil-fired and gas-fired
power plants in total fuel-fired CO2 emissions.

account the carbon content of the fuels used by relevant power sources j and the percent oxidation of the
fuel in year(s) y
λCoal is the percentage of CO2 emissions from the coal-fired power plants in total fuel-fired CO2 emissions;
λOil is the percentage of CO2 emissions from the oil-fired power plants in total fuel-fired CO2 emissions;

Where:
According to the ‘Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system’, the default weights of
wind farm project are ωOM =0.75 and ω BM = 0.25.

BE y = (EG y − EG baseline )× EFgrid ,CM , y (11)
Where:
BEy is baseline emissions in year y (tCO2/yr).
EGy is electricity supplied by the project activity to the grid (MWh), EG y = EG PJ to grid, y − EG grid to PJ, y .
EGbaseline is baseline electricity supplied to the grid in the case of modified or retrofit facilities(MWh). For
new power plants this value is taken as zero.

Therefore, PEy=0
3. Leakage Emission
According to the methodology, the leakage of the proposed project need not be considered. LEy=0.
4. Emission Reduction
Emission reductions will be estimated based on the baseline emission, the project emission and the
leakage emission. The emission reduction ERy due to the proposed project activity during a given year y is
calculated as follows:

1. Calculating the Baseline Emission
1.1 Calculation of the baseline emission factor (EFgrid,CM,y)
Therefore, the Operating Margin emission factor (EFOM,simple ) is the weighted emission factors of 2004-
2006 of Central China Grid:
EF OM , simple =1.2783 tCO2e/MWh
The Build Margin emission factor can be calculated by formulae (2)-(9):
EFBM,y=0.7156 tCO2e/MWh
The baseline emission factor EFy is calculated as formula (10). Thus,
EFy = 1.1376 tCO2e/MWh
1.2. Calculation of the Baseline Emission (BEy)
The baseline emission BEy is calculated as formulae (11):
( )
BEy = BE y = EG y − EGbaseline × EFgrid ,CM , y =(55,042-0)×1.1376 =62,616 tCO2e /year
See Annex 3 for details.
2. Project Emission

The bi-direction main meter (M1 in Figure B-3) is expected to be installed at outflow side of the on-site
35kV/110kV transformer to measure net electricity supplied by the proposed project, which is treated as
the main recording system. The sales receipts will be made according to the data on the main meter
agreed by both the project owner and Jiangxi Provincial Grid Company. Net electricity delivered to the
grid by the proposed project will be cross-checked against sales receipts. The expected accuracy degree of
the main meter is 0.2S.
The bi-direction backup meter (M2 in Figure B-3) is employed to measure the input and output electricity
which is treated as the backup recording system.
4. Calibration
The calibration of the electric meters will be at least annually carried out according to relevant standards
and regulations. The electric meters for the electricity delivered to the grid by the proposed project should
be tested by a qualified metrical organization co-authorized by the owner and Jiangxi Provincial Grid
Company. After the calibration, the electric meters should be jointly inspected and sealed by the parties
concerned and shall not be accessible by either party without the presence of the other party or its
accredited representatives.
When remove, replacement, disassembling, sealing, seal-breaking, incident treatment and etc. happens to
the main recording system, Jiangxi Provincial Grid Company is the responsible operator, and the
representative of the project owner should attend.
27. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.

If the parties have dissidence on the operation condition of the main metering system, the main metering
system will be calibrated by the qualified metrical organization co-authorized by both parties. Both
parties will decide the amount of electricity depending on the results of the calibration and relevant
regulations. If the parties have dissidence on the calibration results, a metrical organization with higher
qualification will be authorized to re-calibrate the meters.
If the main metering system has failure, damage or missing, the amount of the electricity delivered to the
grid by the proposed project will be determined by the records of the backup metering system or other
relevant metering system agreed by both parties.
5. Data Collection and Management
Two methods will be used to measure and record the data: hand log and automatic log.
Under the monitoring system, a data management system will be set up for keeping data and information,
and tracking information from the primary source to data calculation, in paper format. It is the
responsibility of the project entity to provide additional necessary data, information and document for
validation and verification requirements of respective DOE.
Paper documentation such as maps, diagrams and environmental assessment will be collected in a central
place, together with this monitoring plan. In order to facilitate auditor’s reference, monitoring results
should be indexed. All paper-based information will be stored by the owner and kept at least one copy.
The data monitored and required for verification and issuance will be kept for two years after the end of
the crediting period or the last issuance of CERs for this proposed project activity, whichever occurs later.

The proposed project EIA was carried out by Jiangxi Academy of Environmental Sciences and approved
by Jiangxi Environmental Protection Administration. The summary of this evaluation is as follows:
1. Water pollution impacts
The small amount of waste water during the construction period is mainly sewage. Water-processing
facility such as drain for sorting and disposing sewage will be built and waste water will be released after
being treated up to standard.
2. Air pollution impacts:
29. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.
CDM – Executive Board
page 29
The dust and exhaust gas will be mainly generated in construction period. To reduce the pollution impact
on air, the following measures are applied:
(1) Control quantities of vehicles; limit speed of vehicles; avoid overload of vehicles
(2) Set up fences in construction area, apply watering regularly
(3) Soil left after backfill in construction period should be removed in time to recover vegetation
3. Solid waste pollution impacts
Solid waste in construction period includes mainly construction trash and living trash. Living trash should
be collected into dustbin and construction trash should be buried in appointed location.
4. Noise pollution impacts:
A. Construction period
It includes mainly machine noise, operation noise and vehicle noise. To reduce noise impacts, the
following measure are applied:
(1) Arrange operation timetable properly according to related regulation. Operation with high level noise
at night is prohibited.
(2) Set up cover around high level noise facility
(3) Control quantities and density of vehicles
Besides, the construction site is far away from residential area and construction work will be mainly
carried out during daytime. Therefore, the impact of noise is minor.
B. Operation period
It will meet the noise standard for the construction site during the operation period. In addition, there are
not any environmental protected sensitive objects surrounding this project. For this reason, the proposed
project will not have bad impact on this point.
5. Ecological environmental impacts:
There’s no precious plant in local area and recover and afforestation will be applied after construction
period.
There are no big size animals in this area and this proposed project is not located on the birds’ migratory
routes, so it seldom happens that the blades will knock on the birds.
Even the construction work of this project will occupies relatively limited area of their activity place,
animals can easily find other places on other part of grassland. Meanwhile, after finishing of construction,
these animals can move back.
In conclusion, through taking the above measures, the negative impacts on environments will be
minimized and meet requirements of laws and regulations during the construction and implementation.
Furthermore, as renewable power project, the proposed project can reduce the consumption of fossil fuel
sources and GHG emission. In addition, the operation of the proposed project will improve the
development of the local tourism.

BASELINE INFORMATION
Step 1 – Identify the relevant electric power system
According to ‘the Baseline Emission Factor of Chinese Power Grids in 2008’ published by Chinese DNA, the relevant electric power system of the project is
Central China Grid, and the data of calculation are from China Electric Power Yearbook and China Energy Statistical Yearbook.
Step 2 –Select an operating margin (OM) method
According to the electricity generation in 2002-2006 of the Central China Grid, the low-cost/must run resources constitute less than 50% of total amount grid
generating output. Method (a) simple OM is used to calculate the simple OM emission factor utilize the data of 2004-2006 in ex-ante option for the proposed
project.
Step 3 – Calculating an operating margin (OM)
The emission factor and average low caloric value used to calculate operating margin and build margin are listed below:
