Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Energy $avings Plan (E$P) program has been operated by the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) since late fall 1987. The program is designed to build capability in the acquisition of conservation resources in the non-aluminum industrial sector in the Pacific Northwest. According to the Northwest Power Planning Council, the non-aluminum industrial sector accounts for about 23% of the total regional electricity consumption. Five non-aluminum industries consume 85% of this total. Three major industries -- chemical producers, pulp and paper plants, and lumber mills -- account for around 68% of non-aluminum industrial consumption (i.e., 16% of the total regional electricity consumption). 1 ref.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Energy Efficiency Program Impact Evaluation Guide describes the common terminology, structures, and approaches used for determining (evaluating) energy and demand savings as well as avoided emissions and other non-energy benefits resulting from facility (non-transportation) energy efficiency programs that are implemented by local governments, states, utilities, private companies, and nonprofits. While this guide does not recommend specific approaches, it provides context, planning guidance, and discussion of issues that determine the most appropriate evaluation objectives and best practices approaches for different efficiency portfolios. By using standard evaluation terminology and structures and best practices approaches, evaluations can support the adoption, continuation, and expansion of effective efficiency actions. The primary audiences for this guide are energy regulators; public and private energy efficiency portfolio administrators such as utilities, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies; program implementers; and evaluators looking for guidance on the following: - The evaluation process and approaches for determining program impacts - Planning evaluation efforts - Key issues associated with establishing evaluation frameworks for improving the efficacy of energy efficiency portfolios, documenting the impacts of such portfolios, and comparing demand- and supply-side resources. Introductory portions and appendices are also intended for policymakers seeking general information about efficiency program impact evaluation as well as the basic principles of process and market evaluations and cost-effectiveness analyses. Although the guide is not directly intended for expert evaluation practitioners who can rely on more detailed and specific resources that are referred to in this guide, it offers introductions to and summaries of evaluation topics that can be useful for explaining concepts and standard practices to clients, new staff, stakeholders, and others who could benefit from a refresher on principles

Download or read book Impact Evaluation of an Energy Savings Plan Project at Georgia-Pacific Corporation written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impact evaluation of an energy conservation measure {ECM) that was recently installed at Georgia-Pacific Corporation (Georgia-Pacific) was conducted for the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) as part of an evaluation of its Energy Savings Plan (E$P) Program. The Program makes acquisition payments to firms that install energy conservation measures in their industrial processes. The objective of this impact evaluation was to assess how much electrical energy is being saved at Georgia-Pacific as a result of the E$P and to determine how much the savings cost Bonneville and the region. The impact of the ECM was evaluated with a combination of engineering analysis, financial analysis, interviews, submittal reviews {Georgia-Pacific's Completion Report, Proposal, and Abstract), and process evaluation reviews. The ECM itself consists of replacing rod anodes with blade anodes in 31 Denora Mercury Cells for producing chlorine and sodium hydroxide. Changing the shape of the blades allows the cells to operate at lower voltage, thereby reducing the energy required. Energy savings resulting from this ECM are expected to be up to 6,241,200 kWh/yr depending on the production level of the plant. On a per ton basis, this ECM will save from 46.1 to 69.4 kWh/ton of chlorine. The ECM cost $418,176 to install, and Georgia-Pacific received payment of $150,000 from Bonneville for the acquisition of energy savings. The levelized cost of these energy savings to Bonneville will be between 3.3 and 7.5 mills/kWh over the ECM's expected 15-year life, and the levelized cost to the region will be between 5.9 and 13.4 mills/kWh.

Download or read book Impact Evaluation Methods for the Energy Savings Plan written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Energy $avings Plan (E$P) is Bonneville Power Administration's (Bonneville) retrofit program for the industrial sector. The program pays incentives for energy conservation measures involving electrical energy efficiency improvements in manufacturing, processing, and refining industries. E$P is an outgrowth of the Industrial Test Program and the Sponsor-Designed Program, two programs offered by Bonneville that involved installing energy conservation measures in industrial firms. This paper will describe the E$P program, discuss the first process evaluation findings, report the findings from a sample of four E$P project impact evaluations, and describe the techniques selected to evaluate the retrofits. The impact evaluations will provide a framework for assessing the energy savings achieved by the projects implemented under the E$P. In addition to energy savings, the evaluations will review process changes, net utility impacts, levelized costs, and free-riders.'' The four E$P projects evaluated include: a waste heat recovery system for a food processing blancher, an energy management control system used to upgrade refrigeration, a variable speed drive for a fan motor in a lumber mill, and a sludge screw press for waste water treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes the planning of evaluation for one large-scale national energy program with-scale, national energy program with international reporting requirements, US. Climate Change Action Plant. Referred to as Energy Partnerships for a Strong Economy, this program includes 19 DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE) initiatives and three other DOE projects. The evaluation strategy is to have a six year effort with ongoing performance measurement, market studies and process evaluations when deviations from targeted outcomes occur, and a final evaluation report that combines these results with other impact evaluations deemed necessary. The evaluation planning and implementation will use a collaborative approach involving program managers and stakeholders, including program partners and customers, to ensure that evaluation results are useful and utilized. Performance mapping will be used to describe the programs to be evaluated and determine data collection needs and key evaluation questions. The evaluation plan uses multiple evaluation methods, including model and engineering estimates, self-reporting by partners, case studies, surveys, and modified peer/expert review in order to accommodate the scope and diversity of programs and the need to measure progress as well as impact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impact evaluation of four energy conservation measures (ECMs) that were recently installed at Holnam Incorporated (Holnam) was conducted for the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) as part of an evaluation of its Energy $avings Plan (E$P) Program. The Program makes acquisition payments to firms that install energy conservation measures in their industrial processes. The objective of this impact evaluation was to assess how much electrical energy is being saved at Holnam as a result of the E$P and to determine how much the savings cost Bonneville and the region. The impact of the ECMs was evaluated with a combination of engineering analysis, financial analysis, site visit and interview, and review of previous program submittals (Holnam's Proposals and Completion Reports). The four ECMs were all electronic power control devices that replaced less efficient technologies for controlling power to the kiln drive motors, cooler grate drive motors, cooler fan motors, and kiln stack gas precipitators. Energy savings from this project are expected to be 1,782,000 kWh/yr or 0.20 average megawatts. On a unit production basis, this project will save 3.4 kWh/ton of cement, based on Holnam's projected average annual future production rate. The four ECMs cost a total of $248,232 to install, and Holnam received payment of $115,615 from Bonneville for the acquisition of energy savings. Program administrative costs incurred by Bonneville, Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), and Seattle City Light (SCL) were estimated to be $29,362. The real levelized cost (1992 $) of these energy savings to Bonneville will be 6.2 mills/kWh over the project's expected 15-year life, and the real levelized cost (1992 $) to the region will be 14.1 mills/kWh. Based on expected ECM installation costs and energy savings benefits alone, none of the four ECMs would have been implemented by Holnam without the E$P acquisition payment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impact evaluation of an energy conservation measure (ECM) that was recently installed at Lamb-Weston, Inc. (Lamb-Weston) was conducted for the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) as part of an evaluation of its Energy $avings Plan (E$P) Program. The Program awards cash incentives to firms that install energy conservation measures in their industrial processes. The objective of this impact evaluation was to assess how much electrical energy is being saved at Lamb-Weston as a result of the E$P and to determine how much the savings cost Bonneville and the region. The impact of the ECM was evaluated with a combination of engineering analysis, financial analysis, interviews, submittal reviews (Lamb-Weston's Completion Report, Proposal, and Abstract), and process evaluation reviews. The ECM itself consists of a heat recovery heat exchanger added to the hot drain of a potato blancher to reclaim heat that would otherwise be discarded at Lamb-Weston's Plant 1 in Quincy, Washington. At this facility, Lamb-Weston makes frozen French fried potatoes for institutional and consumer markets. Energy savings resulting from this ECM are expected to be 4,037,101 kWh per year. The ECM cost $67, 020 to install and Lamb-Weston received an incentive from Bonneville of $40, 212. The levelized cost of these energy savings to Bonneville will be 0.83 mills/kWh over the ECM's expected 15-year life, and the levelized cost to the region will be 1.50 mills/kWh.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public and private funding for end-use energy efficiency actions is expected to increase significantly in the United States over the next decade. For example, Barbose et al (2009) estimate that spending on ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs in the U.S. could increase from $3.1 billion in 2008 to $7.5 and 12.4 billion by 2020 under their medium and high scenarios. This increase in spending could yield annual electric energy savings ranging from 0.58% - 0.93% of total U.S. retail sales in 2020, up from 0.34% of retail sales in 2008. Interest in and support for energy efficiency has broadened among national and state policymakers. Prominent examples include (almost equal to)$18 billion in new funding for energy efficiency programs (e.g., State Energy Program, Weatherization, and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants) in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Increased funding for energy efficiency should result in more benefits as well as more scrutiny of these results. As energy efficiency becomes a more prominent component of the U.S. national energy strategy and policies, assessing the effectiveness and energy saving impacts of energy efficiency programs is likely to become increasingly important for policymakers and private and public funders of efficiency actions. Thus, it is critical that evaluation, measurement, and verification (EM & V) is carried out effectively and efficiently, which implies that: (1) Effective program evaluation, measurement, and verification (EM & V) methodologies and tools are available to key stakeholders (e.g., regulatory agencies, program administrators, consumers, and evaluation consultants); and (2) Capacity (people and infrastructure resources) is available to conduct EM & V activities and report results in ways that support program improvement and provide data that reliably compares achieved results against goals and similar programs in other jurisdictions (benchmarking). The National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency (2007) presented commonly used definitions for EM & V in the context of energy efficiency programs: (1) Evaluation (E) - The performance of studies and activities aimed at determining the effects and effectiveness of EE programs; (2) Measurement and Verification (M & V) - Data collection, monitoring, and analysis associated with the calculation of gross energy and demand savings from individual measures, sites or projects. M & V can be a subset of program evaluation; and (3) Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification (EM & V) - This term is frequently seen in evaluation literature. EM & V is a catchall acronym for determining both the effectiveness of program designs and estimates of load impacts at the portfolio, program and project level. This report is a scoping study that assesses current practices and methods in the evaluation, measurement and verification (EM & V) of ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programs, with a focus on methods and practices currently used for determining whether projected (ex-ante) energy and demand savings have been achieved (ex-post). M & V practices for privately-funded energy efficiency projects (e.g., ESCO projects) or programs where the primary focus is greenhouse gas reductions were not part of the scope of this study. We identify and discuss key purposes and uses of current evaluations of end-use energy efficiency programs, methods used to evaluate these programs, processes used to determine those methods; and key issues that need to be addressed now and in the future, based on discussions with regulatory agencies, policymakers, program administrators, and evaluation practitioners in 14 states and national experts in the evaluation field. We also explore how EM & V may evolve in a future in which efficiency funding increases significantly, innovative mechanisms for rewarding program performance are adopted, the role of efficiency in greenhouse gas mitigation is more closely linked, and programs are increasingly funded from multiple sources often with multiple program administrators and intended to meet multiple purposes.
