Action on E3 and Renewable Energies

Amaury SantosIEC LARC

2

The issues

Increased demand for electricity

Helping developing countries leapfrog to contemporary technology

IPCC climate change studies.

3

What can IEC contribute?

IEC in contact with relevant international partners

IPCC, IEA, WEC, World Bank

ISO, ITU, UN/ECE, UNIDO, WHO, and others

Labelling and categorization/definition of energy efficiency

4

IPCC

IPCC author presented findings on climate change at IEC event

IEC, like others, has important role to play

More so than ever, international solutions are needed

Technical Standards (and regulations) can contribute to mitigation.

Extract of IPCC summary for policymakers (WGIII)

Advanced energy efficiency; CCS for cement, ammonia, and iron manufacture; inert electrodes for aluminium manufacture

More efficient end-use electrical equipment; heat and power recovery; material recycling and substitution; control of non-COB2B gas emissions; and a wide array of process-specific technologies

Industry

Integrated design of commercial buildings including technologies, such as intelligent meters that provide feedback and control; solar PV integrated in buildings

Efficient lighting and daylighting; more efficient electrical appliances and heating and cooling devices; improved cook stoves, improved insulation; passive and active solar design for heating and cooling; alternative refrigeration fluids, recovery and recycle of fluorinated gases

Buildings

Second generation biofuels; higher efficiency aircraft; advanced electric and hybrid vehicles with more powerful and reliable batteries

More fuel efficient vehicles; hybrid vehicles; cleaner diesel vehicles; biofuels; modal shifts from road transport to rail and public transport systems; non-motorised transport (cycling, walking); land-use andtransport planning

Transport

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for gas, biomass and coal-fired electricity generating facilities; advanced nuclear power; advanced renewable energy, including tidal and waves energy, concentrating solar, and solar PV.

Improved supply and distribution efficiency; fuel switching from coal to gas; nuclear power; renewable heat and power (hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy); combined heat and power; early applications of CCS (e.g. storage of removed COB2B from natural gas)

Energy Supply

Key mitigation expected by 2030

Key mitigation currently available

Time of developments (2006 to date)

2006:

IEC E3 Group, TCs surveyed

2007:

IEC and ISO cooperation project; IEC and ISO speak at World Energy Congress

2008:

IEC E3 and RE recommendations.

10

SMB group and its recommendations

11 recommendations

Examples include:Lighting

Heating & cooling

Rotating machinery

Data centres

Power generation and distribution

Renewable energies.

11

Portfolio analysis

Input of all TCs and NCs

A sitrep on IEC work relating to energy efficiency

IEC Standards meet the mark but

Awareness issues, promotion to stakeholders.

12

Specific examples from the IEC Analysis

Lighting: SC34A: Performance Standards Work in progress for CFLi energy criteria/labelling

High-voltage switchgear: SC17A/17C High voltage switchgear is energy efficient in that it introduces minimal losses in the transmission systemmost of the gain is in the auxiliary and control circuits.

13

Specific examples from the IEC Analysis

Rotating electrical machines: TC2: Energy consumption The definitions of efficiency classes in different regionsare not harmonizedA specific WG was set-up...CD now published IEC 60034-30

Multimedia: TC100: Energy consumption TC100/TA1/MT 62087 is revising IEC 62087will be referred by EPA Energy Star program.

14

Ultra High Voltage (UHV)

Major international IEC-CIGRE symposium held in China in 2007.

15

Coordination with CIGRE

Now studying way forward

For alternating current UHV: Final report of IEC/CIGRE Co-ordination group pending.

16

DC work

Technical committee for HVDC systems up to 800 kV now awaiting go ahead covering

Design, stability, insulation co-ordination, outdoor insulation, electromagnetic environment of HVDC transmission system;

Technical specification and test methods of HVDC facilities;

Acceptance test, operation, maintenance, and reliability evaluation of HVDC system.

17

IEC and Renewables

New TC on Marine Energy

Refinement of TC work programmes:

Hydroelectric (TC 4)

Solar photovoltaics (TC 82)

Wind (TC 88)

Fuel Cells (TC 105).

18

Electric vehicle standards

TC69 deals with infrastructure issues, and components

TC 40 deals with electric double layer capacitors (used in vehicle braking power regeneration/storage)

Close cooperation with ISO TC22, SC21.

19

TC 111 and its Programme

Koichi Mori (Fujitsu): The IEC is increasing its involvement in the areas of eco-design, energy efficiency, material efficiency and the reduction of hazardous chemicals. Technical Committee 111 is committed to providing solutions in these areas. Future topics may include Re-use, Recovery, Emission, Eco-efficiency, Energy efficiency, Resource efficiency and others.

20

Conformity Assessment Work

IEC already active in E3and RE certification (PVGap, Performance certification)

Conformity Assessment Board Ad Hoc Working Group on elements relevant to CAB work (only efficiency)

Findings expected at IEC General Meeting in November.

21

Next steps and milestones

Refinement of portfolio analysis

SMB decisions on recommendations of portfolio and Strategy Group

Sharing of information with ISO Group; including respective chairs participation in IEC and ISO meetings.

22

Action for developing countries?

IEC has produced complete picture of electrical energy efficiency standards

Use of IEC International Standards in proven as effective strategy.

23

What can you do?

You are the treasurers of information

Studies

Recommendations

Brochures and support material

IEC sites (www.iec.ch, wattwatt.com).

24

What can you do?

Speak to government officials, regulators, consumer groups

Work with regional sub groupings.

25

Why International Standards make sense

Remember!

Countries using International Standards can leapfrog development cycles in their economies. They can:

Gain access to the latest technological innovations;

Empower their industries and regulatory authorities by using the worlds best

Above all, theres no need to waste time.
