NanoGrids for Home Application in a Power Cloud Framework Alessandro Burgio
Thanks to recent innovations driven by European Union and national policies, lately it has been possible to see the realization of effective renewable energy technologies, for both large and small-scale use, alongside considerable cost reductions for customers. As a result, businesses and households can increasingly produce and consume, some or all, their own electricity, either instantaneously or in a deferred manner through decentralized storage, behind the connection point with the grid (i.e. the meter). In such a way, it is possible to maximize self-consumption in order to increase their efficiency of energy use and reduce their exposure to electricity prices. In the paper, the use of the so-called Nanogrid for Home Application is proposed to achieve the result of the self-consumption maximization. Moreover, a framework of exchanging energy among Prosumers (Power Cloud) is illustrated to promote the use of Nanogrids for Home Applications.

Report summary on Intended Nationnally determined contributions -Comprehensiv...RCREEE
This document provides a summary of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from 20 Arab countries. It finds that these plans outline both unconditional and higher conditional emission reduction targets. Cost estimates total over $109 billion, with 71% of costs listed as conditional on international support. Adaptation actions are generally lower cost than mitigation and focus on sectors beyond energy. Countries' plans emphasize renewable energy development as well as energy efficiency across sectors. Water desalination and carbon capture storage are mentioned in relation to these areas. Overall, the plans indicate ambitions to increase clean energy and jobs while reducing emissions, though voluntary targets may need to become mandatory with regional coordination.
Energy productivity as a new paradigm for sustainable energy transitionsRCREEE
1. Energy productivity is a new policy paradigm that focuses on improving the value obtained from energy consumption through greater energy efficiency, structural economic reforms, and other energy and climate policies.
2. A report by KAPSARC and UNESCWA examined energy productivity in Saudi Arabia and found that diversification efforts and energy efficiency are transitioning the country to a lower energy intensity pathway in line with its Vision 2030 goals.
3. The report discusses how industrial strategy and policy can further increase Saudi Arabia's energy productivity by developing higher value added industries and strengthening local supply chains.
Arab Region Progress in Sustainable Energy Challenges and OpportunitiesRCREEE
The document summarizes the current status of sustainable energy in the Arab region and key challenges. Near-universal electricity access has been achieved in cities, but rural access remains around 80%. Energy consumption has more than doubled since 1990, with renewables playing a marginal role at 4% of energy. Barriers to expanding renewable energy and energy efficiency include high costs, lack of incentives, and insufficient policies. Universal access to electricity and clean cooking fuels has not been achieved. Water scarcity and dependence on fossil fuels are significant regional challenges. Promoting investments, technology, capacity building, and data are priorities to meet development and climate goals.

4. Why are we promoting EE anyway ?
My answer is very simple
“To balance demand and supply for
electricity and at the same time improve
the financial benefit of the electricity
supplier and electricity consumer”
This project is funded

5. How to buy and build a conventional
500 MegaWatt power plant (EPC or IPP)
- Select technology and size in MW for the “job to be done”
- Select the fuel based on availability + suitability for the plant
- Have a buyer for the electricity
- Get all the permits to build the power plant
- Tender the power plant as an EPC or ask IPPs for offers
- Calculate levelized generation costs “at the margin”
- Negotiate financial closure at favorable WACC (EPC or IPP)
- Negotiate the impact on tariffs with a regulator, if any
This project is funded
by the European Union

6. How to buy and built a
500 NEGAWatt power plant ?
The same way as a 500 MegaWatt power plant with
additional challenges as follows:
- The party that tenders offers a tariff for kWh (saved)
- The party preparing an offer has to also propose a realistic
and cost effective way of measuring kWh (saved)
- A NEGAWatt power plant is owned and operated by
thousands of small and big investors
- “Building” the 500 NEGAWatt power plant and operation
must be as reliable and on time as adding a new 500
MegaWatt power plant capacity.

8. Major lesson learned
• The most challenging part for operators and owners
of a NEGAWatt power plant and the buyers of the
kWh(saved) is to agree on the monitoring and
verification of the quantity of kWh(saved) since there
are no “meters” as in conventional power plants.
• All strategies such as “deemed savings” or
cumbersome but more precise CDM methodologies
had been tested in the past.

12. Lessons learned so far since 1972
- Offering one tariff for all types of electricity saving
measures may result in overpaying or underpaying for
kWh(saved ) depending on the project
- In the USA the over 2000 rebate systems under
DSM are one form of equipment specific feed-in-tariff
where the rebate is calculated by “deemed” kWh*tariff
savings and paid upfront in one lump sum
- Verification procedures for kWh saved are too high
for many EE measures." Deemed savings are
preferred.
This project is funded
by the European Union
12
13. Several advantages such as…..
- A complete vision and strategy is implemented and not only
fragmented single activities
- Increased efforts go into the verification and “measuring” of
the energy cost savings
- The risks of not reaching the savings is on the consultant
side
- The strategy is attractive for larger and real ESCOs
- All involved are forced to calculate and debate the real costs
of a kWh(generated) and “many” kWh(saved) options
This project is funded
by the European Union

15. The concept of tendering and implementing a cost
effective NEGAWatt power plant as part of an
integrated resource planning exercise, which
regulators should demand, and each power utility
should follow, is about the only strategy to involve
power utilities for their own financial benefit into a
national energy efficiency action plan.
