Feeder based DSM: Efficient Distribution Management -- Vijay L Sonavane Member MERC 29thApril 2010
Issues for Discussion • Features of conventional DSM initiatives • Rationale for feeder-based DSM programs • Feeder-profile & Consumption pattern analysis • Feeder-based implementation process • Summing up..
Conventional DSM initiatives • DSM system initiatives focus on large-scale/dispersed promotion of Load Management & Conservation measures • Examples: • CFLs in Urban/Rural sector or FTLs in multiple areas • Fans, A/Cs and Refrigerators: Urban System • Commercial building chiller replacements: Metro System • Measurement & Verification done through: • Engineering calculations & Actual metering • Apparently difficult to notice the savings
TOU tariff: DSM Option • Time Of Use (TOU) tariff: Important DSM option • Cost of purchasing peak power is the highest, so energy charges for peak time should be high • Basic aim: to reduce peak time use of energy • TOU tariff concept right from first MERC tariff order in May 2000. • TOU tariff for: HT Industries/ HT PWW/ LT Industries & LT Com: > 20 KW DEMD/ LT PWW/ HT Com
TOU for IND HT • Basic tariff EXP: 505 Ps/U, Non-Exp: 460 Ps/U Time Slots: TOU Tariff : TTL tariff : Hrs in week 06-09 & 12-18 : 00 PS/U : 505 PS/U : 63 09-12 : (+) 80 Ps/U : 585 PS/U : 21 18-22 : (+) 110 PS/U : 615 PS/U : 28 22-06 : (-) 85 PS/U : 420 PS/U : 56 Average tariff = 505 PS/U • Consider a consumer uses 1 Unit all throughout the day • TOU charges: 3x80 + 4x110 + 8(-85) = 240+440-680 = 00 PS • No incentive for shifting of loads for continuous IND
International practice for TOU tariff • Pacific Gas & Electric Co. US (Res tariff) (from 1st March 2010) Residential (E-6): Base line Energy charges: • Summer: (May-Oct) Peak : 01-07 PM (Mon Fri) : $ 0.30142 (30 H) Partial Peak: 07-09 AM & 10 AM-0100 PM (MF) & 05-08 PM (Sat) : $ 0.14865 (38 H) off-peak: All other periods : $ 0.10324 (100H) Average Tariff= $ 0.1477 PU • Winter (Nov-Apr) Partial Peak: 05-08 PM (Mon Fri) : $ 0. 10319 (15 H) Off peak : $ 0.09112 (153H) Average tariff = $ 0.092197 PU
TOU in MSEDCL (Feb 2010) (*) Consider 1 MW continuous load
Power Factor Penalty/ Incentive • For HT IND/Com/PWW/ AG/ HT RC/ LT Com & IND >20KW, LT PWW LT • For PF> 0.95, 1% incentive of amount of monthly bill, for each 1% improvement in PF > 0.95. For 0.99 PF, incentive is 5% & for unity PF Incentive is 7% • For <0.90 PF, penal charges shall be @2% of the amount of monthly bill for first 1% fall below 0.90, beyond which penalty is 1% for each % point fall in PF. • In FEB 2010 billing, 18,647 Consumers paid PF penalty of Rs 7.41 Crores & 30,800 consumers got PF Incentive of Rs 73.17 Crores. • Installation of Capacitors Higher PF PF incentive
Context of feeder-based DSM initiative … a scenario Source Reliability Price Supply position Revenue collection Sub Station MW, MU, PF, THD, V, f Demand interface -- Consumers – (Domestic, Industrial, PWW, Commercial) -- Interface leading to reduced demand-supply gaps
Advantages of feeder-based DSM options • Utility can choose feeders, where: • Transformer loading is high • Cost-to-serve is high • Existing DT and feeder metering & Energy Accounting infrastructure will be used for feeder based DSM • Pre & post-DSM implementation: energy throughput and load data will be used • Easy to track savings • Savings can provide essential equity in project selection
Feeder-based DSM implementation & SMART-Grids • Integrated communications … real-time information & control • Remote data acquisition, real-time triggers (at consumer end) • Sensing & measurement technologies…remote monitoring, TOU and DSM • Online/”visible” knowledge of fossil/Green Power &energy costs; real-time switch over between energy sources • Demand-response programs • Advanced control methods…rapid diagnosis • Apriori knowledge of grid failures, support to data centers, hospitals (essential loads) • Improved interfaces & decision support • Higher integration with the load dispatch functions
Feeder profiles/ Consumption pattern Analysis
Feeder & DT metering: Issues • 11,401 feeders (11/22/33KV)/ 2.86 Lakh DTs • Monitoring of feeder & DT Meter status • Metering System: (Meter + CTs + PTs) • At EHV & 33/11KV, 22/11KV substations hourly meter readings are taken, but at many places, only Ammeters are available. • DT metering & DT meter reading is an issue • Consumer Indexing (DT Consumers)
Analysis of consumption (per consumer utilization) (1/3)
Analysis of consumption (per consumer utilization) (2/3)
Analysis of consumption (per consumer utilization) (3/3)
Salient Observations for MSEDCL • Average Monthly Consumption (Units/consumer/month): Res: 86 Com:217 LT IND: 1140 LT PWW:874 LT AG: 477 LT Hoardings: 1918 St Light: 866 • LT AG/Consumer/Month consumption is higher than Res & Com • ABR: (PS/Unit) Res: 439 LT, Com: 815, HT COM: 995, St. Light: 365 LT Hording: 1548, HT-R Complexes: 500, LT PWW: 240 HT IND E: 501, LT IND: 555, HT PWW: 399, HT AG: 85, LT AG: 61, P/L: 202 (AVG ABR: 403 PS/U) • Taking Consumer/ feeder/ DT meter readings at regular interval is essential. Billing through Assessment has to be minimized. • Pilot project results should be discussed at all levels during various review meetings.
Feeder-based DSM Project Development • Feeder identification: • Sequence: EHV/HV IND EXP, Non Express feeders, MIDC feeders, PWW feeders, Separated AG & Gaothan Feeders, Urban, Rural feeders • Data generation: feeder wise consumer mapping • Data analysis: Pre DSM consumption data & expected results after DSM • DSM benefit-cost analysis: Energy savings • Tendering & implementation: Period to be minimum • Monitoring and verification: Third party evaluation
DSM Program process Identify project & negotiate with customers Submit initial application Approve initial application based on defined criteria Allocate / reserve funding Finalize measures and prepare M&V plans Prepare standard offer agreement Submit final application Approve or reject application Submit installation report Initiate project Approve or reject installation report Make installation payment Conduct M&V activities and submit savings reports Approve or reject savings reports Make performance payments Utility actions Project sponsor actions
Rural feeder-based DSM options • DSM Scheme can be developed around: • Energy throughput at the rural 11 KV interface (meter) • Linking of ( i) agriculture pumping,(ii) rural industries, (iii) households and (iv) municipal systems (lighting, water pumping) as a seamless module • DSM integration options include: • Efficient end-use in the rural household (CFL, EE fans) • Efficient pumping: EE pumps (Mangalvedha Project) • Water conservation measures (saving water & Energy) • Productive use of biomass (Gassifiers & Biomass Fuel)
Urban feeder-based DSM options • Mixed feeders with commercial, public-buildings, water pumping and residential feeders: • Energy throughput at dedicated sub-station or 33/11 KV interface (Correct metering) • Benefits from variety of end-users (Mixed feeder) • Lighting (CFL, FTL), Star rating Fans, A/Cs & Refrigerators, EE Society water pump/motor, Commercial use to be reduced, LT Industries: EE motors, Capacitors.
Conclusions … • Benefits of DSM are the best on feeders & DTs which are overloaded. Immediate CAPEX investments can be deferred, for some time. • High Quality of metering of feeders & DTs is required for getting the benefits of demand shift, Energy Conservation & Load Management • Sequence of Feeder DSM implementation: Dedicated AG/IND feeders, MIDC areas, Commercial buildings, housing complexes, mixed Urban feeders & mixed Rural feeders with AG/village loads • Monetization of benefits of such locations will yield true cost-benefit analysis of such efforts.
