  1. Promoting Energy Efficient Transformers In Liberalized Markets M. Dave IEO Transformatoren The Netherlands 24 November 2000

  2. INTRODUCTION • Transformer most important link in the power system • Energy saving potential • Conventional method to determine cost effectiveness • Total Owning Cost (TOC) concept • Reduction in losses leads to higher capital cost

  3. TRADITIONAL CONCEPT (1) • Traditional utility markets convinced about significance of energy efficient transformers • The Netherlands, example for reduction in losses in last decade

  4. REDUCTION IN LOSS LEVELS IN THE NETHERLANDS IN WATTS

  5. TRADITONAL CONCEPT (2) • Comparison of Netherlands losses with HD.428 C-C’ level • Commitment for energy efficient transformers

  6. COMPARISON OF LOSS LEVELS IN WATTS- NL vs. HD.428 C-C’

  7. UTILITIES’ DILEMMA • Forces of de-regulation, liberalization and privatization • Globalization of business • Increased threats on international level • Conflicting goals

  8. UTILITIES’ DILEMMA • Uncertainty of future • Falling price levels • Demand to curtail capital expenditure

  9. UTILITIES’ REACTION • Wait and watch policy • Compromise on energy efficiency • Staying afloat & enhance shareholder value • Increased emphasis on financial performance

  10. UTILITIES’ REACTION • Control in the hands of commercial “Whiz kids” • Shorts term objectives • KISS (Keep it Small & Simple - new philosophy) • Quick Gain Project • Purchase decision by contractor

  11. MANUFACTURERS’ DILEMMA • Buyers’ market - over capacity • Optimum efficiency levels achieved • Unwise to embark on substantial investment for new technology • Forced to toe buyers’ line

  12. DIFFICULT QUESTIONS • Consequence of minimal efficiency standard • Manufacturers’ response to new utility policy • Should R&D continue for improving transformer efficiencies • New technology or regulatory mandates

  13. SUGGESTIONS • Highlight environmental benefits • Designate emission reduction potential • Abandon short sighted approach for better future

  14. SOLUTIONS • Evolve Energy Star Transformer Program • Co-ordinated efforts by authorities, regulator & manufacturers • Follow Optimal Transformer Sizing Model • Point out other advantages like less noise pollution, compact dimensions M.Dave IEO Transformatoren, NL
