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.

It also highlights the ESCO model and integrated energy contracts for a more convenient solution.
1) The ADDRESS project aims to activate demand and enhance flexibility by developing technical solutions to enable active demand participation at the consumer and grid levels.
2) Distributed intelligence and load flexibility will help achieve secure grid operation while reducing energy bills and supporting sustainable growth.
3) The proposed solutions will be validated in test sites in Spain, Italy, and France and aim to remove barriers to active demand development through new markets and contracts.
Energy Pools - Scottish Energy Institute 11 11 2009ChrisJCook
The document proposes a new approach called "Energy Pooling" to finance renewable energy projects through direct investment rather than credit. It involves setting up Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) that act as custodians for energy assets. Investors provide financial capital in exchange for units redeemable for electricity production. Managers and suppliers contribute human and physical capital. Revenue from electricity sales is shared between investors, managers, and communities. This allows interest-free financing of renewable projects through monetizing future energy production.
This document discusses how prepaying for energy through the sale of energy credits can help fund investment in renewable energy infrastructure. It proposes that energy producers sell undated credits to investors, which can then be used to prepay for future energy needs. This locks in prices for both producers and consumers and provides capital for producers. The document argues this model could help transition economies to low carbon solutions while providing returns to investors. It even presents a thought experiment where Greece issues energy credits as a dividend to citizens to help resolve its fiscal issues through taxes on land and carbon fuels.
Guarantees of Origin webinar Leonardo Energy 13 November 2017Dirk Van Evercooren
This is the presentation I used in a webinar for Leonardo Energy on 13 November 2017. It's about how Guarantees of Origin work and how they make green energy contracts reliable. Corporate electricity consumers now adopt sustainability strategies, choosing only electricity from renewable sources. Some go further and engage in Renewable Power Purchasing Agreements. In both cases, Guarantees of Origin are instrumental.

City of Berkeley Electric Vehicle Infrastructure StrategyRudi Halbright
Expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure is imperative to the success of EV adoption. While demand remains unknown, many experts have forecasted over a million EVs will enter the US market in the next decade (Levin, 2010). If hybrid adoption rates are an indicator of EV adoption, then the City of Berkeley (CoB) can expect to have one of the highest EV adoption rates in the country.
While CoB is interested in investing in EV infrastructure, this does create financial risk. In order to maximize citizen benefit while minimizing the city’s financial risk, Team dEVA recommends the following three high level strategies (see presentation)

However, it notes that finding buyers for the electricity in Europe, financing large power plants and transmission lines, and developing sufficient local markets are major challenges. It argues that the MSP will have little effect on mitigating technology costs and that energy modesty may be an inconvenient truth given development needs.
Direct wire PPAs in Italy: Legislation and case studiesRiccardo Battisti
Presentation of PPAs with photovoltaic in Italy.
Presented in the workshop ”SOLAR: Helping consumers and businesses control their energy costs“, Brussels, May 2, 2017 in the framework of the 'PV Financing' project (www.pv-financing.eu).
The document discusses a Euro-Mediterranean project to integrate regional energy markets and promote national plans for energy efficiency. It focuses on presenting budget allocation charts for different countries, including Egypt. The charts compare the costs of conventional energy to various renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies to help decision-makers determine the most cost-effective investment options. Methodologies are described for selecting relevant technologies and measuring their potential energy savings and generation for each country. Preliminary outputs were generated but more data is still needed, particularly for energy efficiency measures.

The Post-FIT reality: promising business models for photovoltaicRiccardo Battisti
The document discusses promising business models for photovoltaics (PV) in a post-incentive environment. It analyzes experiences from 7 countries and focuses on the primary PV market. New models combine self-consumption for energy savings with PV electricity supply through power purchase agreements and more active consumer involvement. While high self-consumption models are feasible, legislation must not hinder these new approaches. The document provides examples of viable PV projects for multi-family housing, public buildings, commercial facilities, and industrial sites. It also discusses the potential impact of legislative changes on project profitability.
session 5 Regulation&certification of energy_service_providers(article7)RCREEE
The document discusses establishing regulation and certification programs for energy service providers in Europe and the Mediterranean region. It proposes having governments ensure qualifications, accreditation, and certification schemes are available for providers of energy services, energy audits, and energy efficiency improvement schemes. It also suggests requiring energy distributors to offer competitively priced energy services and audits to customers or make equivalent financing available. Finally, it discusses developing a regional energy efficiency certification program by surveying existing programs and proposing a delivery mechanism.
This document analyzes the costs and benefits of implementing isolated electricity grids in Haiti. It finds that isolated grids powered by hydro, diesel generators, or solar-diesel hybrids could provide economic benefits by increasing electricity access in rural areas. However, the analysis has limitations due to a lack of detailed data on Haitian consumer behavior and electricity demand. While isolated grids show potential, more location-specific data would be needed to accurately assess benefits for each individual grid. The costs and benefits of different technologies are also sensitive to discount rates and potential cost overruns.
Financing of deep 'REnnovates' retrofit of residential buildings: a banker's perspective.
How does a banker look at the financing of deep retrofit of residential buildings? Is there a bankable business case? Are the 'energy savings' and other values enough to justify the finance investment? Under which conditions could this be a profitable investment for third party investors?
We explain how our 'REnnovates' business modelling tool describes the necessary conditions to come to a bankable investment pilot.

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.

3. A regulator’s basic recommendation
A power utility should consider energy
efficiency as a RESOURCE and should
spent money to PROCURE that resource
as they would for other resources.
The choice is between a new MW power plant or a NEGAWatt power plant

5. How does a utility buy a kWh of solar electricity ?
Power industry grid
You are an IPP Your meter
40 $Cents/kWh
Feed-in-Tariff
The bottom line: An almost risk free investment in this PV power
plant should earn you an 8% interest every year for 20 years
This project is funded
by the European Union
6. How do you sell a kWh of electricity saved
Your 2 kWh/day The new one has an energy
fridge goes here star rating of 1.3 kWh/day
If 1,000,000 are bought then you are operating a NEGAWATT Power
plant supplying (2 - 1.3) x 365 = 255 GWh/ year (saved)
This project is funded
by the European Union
6
7. You may sell your kWh (saved) from
your NEGAWATT power plant by
…..receiving a cash rebate from a power utility
(investment subsidy for you and buying kWhS
for the power utility )
…..a tax incentive by the Government
(revenue loss to the treasury)
….. Sell the kWh to utilities and others that must buy
white certificates for a market price
….. but you cannot sell the kWh saved under a feed-
in-tariff since you cannot transmit “kWh saved”

8. Four cost effectiveness tests judge the
total effectiveness of these schemes
- Participant (Quantifiable benefits and costs to a customer
participating in the program)
- Ratepayer Impact Measure (What happens to all
customer rates due to changes in utility revenues and operating
costs by the program)
- Total Resource Cost (Net costs of the program based on
total costs including participants and utility’s costs)
- Program Administrator Cost (all program
management costs including incentives costs to the participants )

14. …..The “50 kWh metered lifeline tariff ” poor
household scenario :Provide CFL’s for free
Logical conclusion: Even providing the
CFL for free at $ 6 benefits the utility based
on a program administrator cost test (PAC)
Utility supply costs are 5 $cents/kWh
Utility realized revenues are 1 $cents/kWh
Loss reduction to Utility 180 x 4 = $ 7.2 per CFL
Free CFL distributed (“cash rebate”) $ 6.0 for CFL
Net benefit to utility $ 1.2
The utility has just bought 180 kWh of saved electricity for
600/180 = 3.3 $Cents/kWh from this consumer group
This project is funded
by the European Union
14
15. … The “commerce” scenario
Logical conclusion: No power utility will
voluntarily promote CFL in this sector
under such conditions
Utility supply costs 8 $cents/kWh
Utility revenues are 10 $cents/kWh
Revenue loss for utility 180 x 10 = $ 18.0 per CFL
Profitability loss 180 x (10-8) = $ 3.6 per CFL
This project is funded
by the European Union

16. The basic problem: „Rate Cases“
Needed income from electricity sales
SAR($ / kWh )
Annual sales in kWh
In a “rate case” the power utility reports to a regulator its
expected kWh sales and required income which includes
an acceptable return for the investors. If the regulator
approves this approach, the power utility would not always
benefit from reduction of kWh sales by a DSM program.
Rates are fixed for 3 - 5 years and usually not renegotiable.
Intelligent but fair decoupling of tariffs and targeted DSM is
required to make DSM attractive to a power utility.
This project is funded
by the European Union
16
17. Rate Impact Measure (RIM)
A power utility has settled its rate case of annual required
revenues of $ 500 Million from expected sales of $ 10
Million MWh of electricity. The regulator approved SAR is
therefore 5 Cents/kWh for the next 3-5 years.
A national CFL campaign manages a penetration of 5
CFL each for 100,000 business. Estimated 90,000 MWh
of electricity are not bought and the utility looses $ 9
Million revenues from this sector annually .
This project is funded
by the European Union
17
18. Required income split up
The utility reports its split up for the required income of
$ 500 Million as follows
- 30% fixed cost ($ 150 Million)
- 70% variable costs ($ 350 Million).
Fixed Cost (30%) Variable Cost (70%)
Interest Fuels
Debt service Consumables
Depreciation Repair and maintenance
Taxes, Royalties Technical losses
Public relations
Staff cost
Lease, insurance
Pension fund
Dividends
This project is funded
by the European Union

19. The rate increase asked by the utility
$350 Million 9.91
New cos t $150 Million $496.85 Million
10
$496.85 Million
New SAR 5.013 Cents / kWh
9.91 Million MWh
The range of variations between 0% and 100% fixed cost
0% fixed costs: 5.00 Cents/ kWh ( 0% tariff increase)
100% fixed costs: 5.045 Cents/ kWh (1% tariff increase)
This project is funded
by the European Union
19
20. Most sensitive cases and concerns
Power utilities which have high fixed costs and no fuel costs
such as RE power plants and distribution companies are
mostly vulnerable to reduced sales through DSM.
Too generous rebates and other financial or fiscal incentives
resulting in “paying for the same kWh saved twice”.
Utilities misunderstanding tariff decoupling and increasing
fixed monthly service fee or demand charge.
Utilities reducing their natural business risk by blaming
successful DSM for revenues losses even if variation in cold
and hot days have caused the consumption to go down.
This project is funded
by the European Union
20
21. The dream approach
A Government or power utility should tender a national
energy efficiency program (NEEAP) as a complete
package. Many variations are possible and could be
refined:
“We offer $ 500 million over 5 years to the bidder with
the lowest average $/MWh (saved) “ or
“We offer 90% of the kWh supply cost of our next
planned 300 MW peak load expansion in 2015 to a
bidder who could avoid this investment as reliably and
on time as the peak capacity expansion.
This project is funded
by the European Union
21
22. The problem with this dream
Writing an offer for this tender is more costly,
more complicated and requires more data input,
many more field surveys, monitoring and
experience than preparing the engineering
procurement offer for a 300 MW “peaker”
Let us sponsor such an attempt and call it
“Public tendering of NEEAP’s”
This project is funded
