Deemed Energy Savings and Cost-Effectiveness of 80-Plus Power Supplies RTF January 2007
Published Estimates • Ecos (August 2005) • 82 kWh per unit residential • 90 kWh per unit commercial • 85 kWh weighted average • NEEA (March 2005) • 76 kWh per unit residential • 88 kWh per unit commercial • 74 kWh per unit commercial with network off • 82 kWh per unit weighted average net of network off
Key Factors for Binned Savings Estimates • Hours in each power consumption bin • Developed by Intel & Ecos • Set to fit total consumption • Total consumption based on several sources • Roth 2002, LBL for Energy Star, Ecos • Efficiency by power consumption bin • Base case: Intel 2005 required efficiency • 80-Plus: Bench tests conducted by EPRI-PEAC • Time in standby mode • LBL “After Hours” report
Changes Since Estimates • Higher computer power requirements • Increase savings • Improving efficiency of non 80-Plus power supplies • Decrease savings • Identified added savings from power factor correction • Add ~25 kWh • Penetration of network off-hours control • Unknown
Cost Estimates • Incremental cost of $5/unit • Declining to $2.50 by 2010 • NEEA program costs estimates ~ $40 per unit • Lifetime: 4 years • No O&M costs • NEEA B/C ratio: Over 5.0 for venture plus market effects
Issues • Update NEEA assumptions? • Include indirect savings from power factor? • Adopt Ecos estimate for servers? • Estimate HVAC interactions?
Recommendations • Stick with NEEA estimate for now • Ignore savings from power factor correction until Ecos adopts them • Ignore HVAC interaction • Review Ecos server application savings when programs are deployed for servers
