BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO DIESEL GENERATORS – A COM...AurovilleConsulting
Power demand across the country is growing, and meeting peak demand is becoming more challenging. In Tamil Nadu, frequent power outages are observed, especially during summer months. To reduce economic impacts of unreliable power supply, commercial and industrial (C&I) entities, undertake investments in power backup systems. The most commonly used systems are diesel generator sets (DG sets) and battery energy storage systems (BESS), also known as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
DG sets have been a convenient power backup option due to an established market, their reliability, affordability, and modularity. But they have a high environmental footprint, cause noise pollution and negatively impact human health. On the other hand, BESSs could operate on zero emissions, if charged from renewable energy sources, and with minimal noise pollution. And with no exhaust emissions, they are particularly helpful in urban areas.
The cost of batteries, especially those of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs, have been observing a dramatic drop – of 89% over the years 2010-2020. And, apart from performing their primary function as a power backup, BESSs can also provide grid services such as load shifting, load following, peak load management, voltage, and frequency support and facilitate higher levels of renewable energy integration. Thus, BESSs contest DG sets economically and technically as an alternative type of back-up system.
This report compares the economic and environmental performance of a Li-ion-based BESS with a conventional DG set, as power backup solutions. The analysis indicated that the levelized cost of battery storage (LCOS) is dictated by the battery pack costs in the market, while the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the DG is sensitive to diesel prices. The cost analysis was carried over a range of hours of back-up required, and the results favour the Li-ion BESS as a back-up option, in terms of economic and environmental performance, especially when charged at solar tariff solar tariff.
We hope that this report will assist C&I entities in Tamil Nadu to make the most economic and environmentally sound investment in their power backup systems.
This is a compilation of the overall process in conducting energy audit based on my personal experiences, training that I attended in Malaysia, India and Japan and information sharing between fellow EE practitioners.Not to forget references from books and internet.

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains – the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, ‘Are Gutters Necessary?’

stimulus package included an additional $3.1 billion
for efficiency in existing federal government buildings
Federal and State governments have passed specific
laws to facilitate EPC and accept up to 15-20 year
payback periods.
Research in the US indicated that EPCs have
delivered general benefit to cost ratios of 1.6 to 1,
with higher 2.1 to 1 ratios for EPCs in health facilities.

Editor's Notes
Recommendation 1: A Government-wide protocol
Administration costs will be substantially lower if there is a single protocol that all agencies follow to improve their energy efficiency. This protocol needs to establish:
How agencies engage with ESCOs to undertake energy efficiency improvements
Using an accreditation system for ESCOs that ensures that ESCOs have sufficient expertise to implement and maintain an energy efficiency upgrade. The Energy Efficiency Council is currently developing a national accreditation scheme that should come into operation in 2011.
Systems to provide loans to agencies to undertake energy efficiency upgrades in their built assets.
Monitoring/verification systems. These systems are critical to the success of a program in which a number of factors can influence energy savings (e.g. changes in staff numbers). It is strongly recommended that governments adopt the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP), which includes protocols to address these issues.
Recommendation 2: A lead agency
There are substantial economies of scale to be derived from having a single, expert unit within Government that assists other agencies in undertaking energy efficiency upgrades. For example, EPC contracts are relatively complex and ensuring that they are right in the first place is critical to their success.
The lead agency should generally be a central agency that has a whole of government focus and possibly an existing role in strategically managing government buildings. Appropriate agencies include Public Works, Treasury and Finance and Premier and Cabinet.
Recommendation 3: A source of capital
Agencies often lack access to sufficient available capital funding to pay for the upfront costs of energy efficiency upgrades. As agencies will not know how much capital is required until they have undertaken a Detailed Facility Study, cyclical budget processes are not ideal for energy efficiency retrofits. In particular, ESCO’s subsidise detailed facility studies, which means that if an agency commissions a Detailed Facility Study, but does not secure funding to implement the retrofit, the ESCO will make a substantial loss.
The most cost effective solution is for a government to set up a simple process where an agency is guaranteed access to capital for an integrated energy service contract (e.g. EPC) if the Detailed Facility Study demonstrates that the project will meet a certain return on investment threshold. In the Victorian Government the threshold is 12 per cent.
Various arrangements have been put in place by governments to provide investment funding for energy efficiency works, including:
The Victorian Government uses Section 37 of the Victorian Financial Management Act, which allows loans for self-funding projects.
The Queensland Government has established a loan arrangement with Queensland Treasury Corporation for the funding of EPC.
The NSW and ACT governments have established revolving funds.
US governments allow agencies to directly borrow capital from the private sector to fund EPCs.
Loan repayments are normally made directly to Treasury or the private sector source of capital. Ongoing savings are normally kept by the agency, with Treasury applying an expected efficiency improvement dividend on all agencies, irrespective of whether they have undertaken the efficiency upgrade or not.
Recommendation 4: Mandates on agencies
Agencies generally focus on only those performance measures against which they are rated. As a result, they often put a low priority on matters such as energy efficiency. Experience demonstrates that governments need to place mandates onto agencies if they want to achieve government-wide energy saving goals.
Victoria has taken the approach to place a mandate on agencies’ inputs (e.g. implement EPCs across a targeted percentage of sites by 2020), rather than agencies’ outputs (e.g. achieve energy savings of 20% by 2020). The choice of target will depend on government's priorities. Output targets will give more certainty about energy and greenhouse savings. Input targets will generally deliver the best economic results, and although they may deliver more energy and greenhouse savings there will be less certainty about the scale of energy reductions.
A government-wide energy efficiency upgrade process would deliver the following financial benefits:
Direct cost savings from reduced energy use
Avoided future costs through reduced exposure to electricity price rises
The diagram below shows a hypothetical energy efficiency project and illustrates the benefits that accrue over time through investment in energy efficiency initiatives.
The upper curve shows the business-as-usual (BAU) case which shows the cost of supplying energy to a certain facility. In this scenario, costs are increasing over time in line with current forecasts of growth in energy consumption and increases in energy tariffs. At the start of year 1, an energy efficiency contract project is implemented, cutting the site’s energy consumption by 30 per cent.
Hypothetical Scenario – energy efficiency costs and savings
For illustrative purposes only, it is assumed that the capital cost of the energy efficiency contract is $10 million, with 30 per cent savings on energy costs guaranteed by the ESCO over a payback period of 7 years (i.e. direct cost savings delivered by the project accumulate to the value of the initial expenditure over seven years).
In this example there is a cost saving of $1.43 million every year to the customer through reduced energy use, which accumulates to $10 million over the seven year payback period. Energy savings are guaranteed under the project at the current energy price (i.e. year 1 prices). These savings are reflected in the blue area of the chart as the ‘loan repayments’, as the energy savings are used to pay back the initial investment required to undertake the project. Once the loan has been repaid, these funds are then available for other purposes.
The green area represents the net recurrent annual savings realised beyond the payback period for the project, as energy use for the facility will theoretically remain at the reduced level (i.e. at 70 per cent of the BAU cost) in perpetuity.
Both the blue and green areas refer to a ‘real’ cost saving to government (i.e. money that can be used by the customer for other purposes). The white area directly below the BAU line represents the costs
Traditional methods
The traditional way to deliver energy efficiency upgrades (on the left) generally involves:
A government agency procures an energy audit from an engineering consultant or specialist auditing firm.
If the audit identifies significant opportunities, the government agency then seeks funding from central agencies. The project often stalls at this point.
If the agency secures funds, they then hire contractors to undertake or project manage the works. Once the works are implemented the project ends.
Integrated Energy Services Model
The Integrated Energy Services process (right) instead focuses government effort on developing a whole-of-government protocol and selecting a lead contractor:
The government establishes a whole-of-government protocol for energy efficiency upgrades. This includes establishing access to capital for energy efficiency upgrades that meet a pre-determined return on investment (ROI) target, typically between 7 and 15 per cent per annum.
An agency seeks expressions of interest (EOIs) from energy service companies (ESCOs) covering their competencies and previous experience
The agency selects three ESCOs to undertake an initial, and free, assessment of energy efficiency opportunities (a ‘Request for Proposal’ (RFP)). Based on these assessments, the agency selects a preferred ESCO.
The successful ESCO undertakes a detailed assessment of energy efficiency opportunities (a ‘Detailed Facility Study’) and presents the agency with a set of measures that they guarantee will deliver a certain level of energy savings.
If the agency agrees to proceed, the ESCO implements the energy efficiency upgrade and may provide ongoing management of these measures. Alternatively, the ESCO may assist the agency to hire subcontractors to implement the upgrade and help the agency develop a management plan.
The ESCO or an independent auditor will monitor and verify the energy savings. This provides a level of surety of actual performance outcomes.
Ideally, the contractor and agency form a close partnership with a shared goal to maximise ongoing energy and cost savings. There are a number of options within this type of Integrated Energy Services model, including Energy Performance Contracting (EPC). EPC has the additional benefit of ongoing maintenance and guaranteed energy saving results, with the ESCO underwriting shortfalls in savings if the project does not achieve the agreed objectives. However, in some cases other forms of integrated provider contract may be more suitable (see p6).

Challenges of Energy Performance Contracting
• Energy Baseline Development
It is crucial that the facility owner participate in establishing the energy baseline, instead
of the contractor establishing the baseline on his own.
• Energy Baseline Adjustment
It is also important the facility owner agree on the definitions and methodology for
making any future adjustments to the energy baseline. This should be a part of the
contract.
• Operational Savings
Operational savings include those savings that are not derived from energy reduction.
They can be labor or material savings that result from the implementation of a particular
energy conservation measure. For instance, if a school has new lights installed in all
classrooms, no labor or materials will be necessary in these areas for replacing lamps or
ballast for some time. In some cases, especially in the claim of labor, the savings may
never be realized unless a staff position is eliminated. The allowance of operational
savings is generally discouraged.
• Stipulated Savings
Savings, not measured, that are established in the contract (often lighting changeouts) are
usually to the contractor’s advantage. Usually, run times and published efficiencies of
equipment are set and may not actually occur. Stipulated savings should be used
minimally.
• Excessive Finance Charges
There have been instances where ESCOs inflated the interest rate on the funds borrowed
to generate additional profits. Facility owners should check the rates against local banks
or other national institutions to make sure they are competitive. Facility owners may be
able to arrange their own financing at lower rates.
• Required Maintenance Agreements
Some ESCOs have required that the preventive maintenance on facilities also be
outsourced to that ESCO. As such, they tie the maintenance agreement to the guarantee
agreement. These maintenance agreements may be very expensive in relation to the
value of services provided and can provide a major source of profit to the contractor.
• Lack of Local Facilities Control
There have been occasions where the contractors have required off-site control (often out
of state) of the buildings, requiring telephone calls to change schedules and remote
sensing and control in the hands of control center. While this practice has become rare
with improved computer technology, it must be avoided.
• Terms of Savings Reconciliation Versus Budget Cycle
Some standard ESCO performance contracts are written to allow the contractor to carry
over savings that occur in early years to offset losses in later years. Savings should be
calculated on an annual basis and stand alone on that basis.
• Quality Control
Very little is more important than a solid contract, rigidly enforced. The use of a project
manager or a third party verifier by the client is highly recommended.
