Energy Saving by Reducing No Load Loss of Distribution Transformers | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • In Japan about 16 million units of distribution transformers are in service. These transformers are expending a huge amount of energy in the form of no load loss and load loss. Among these losses, no load loss is major. No load loss can be saved dramatically by changing these transformers to amorphous transformers (i.e., amorphous metal-based transformers). This paper estimates the scope of the possible energy saving and reduction of CO2 emissions by the adoption of amorphous transformers in Japan and in China.

Impact of market liberalisation | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • Liberalization has improved the administrative efficiency of the electricity system, but what has been its impact on technical performance? Energy efficiency of the distribution system, its technical quality of supply and environmental performance are issues which where largely conspicuous in their absence in the debate, but maybe it is time to address them now. A discussion paper from Leonardo ENERGY.

White, green and black certificates: three interacting instruments | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • This paper presents three different types of certificates ('white' for energy savings, 'green' for renewable electricity, and 'black' for greenhouse gas reductions in the European Emission Trading Scheme). The current limited experiences with these instruments already allow to define some of the success factors for these new instruments. A synthesis of their current application presents how much energy is saved today due to these certificates, and how much green electricity is produced. A discussion on the methods for setting the targets, measuring the impacts on the market and the interaction between these different instruments concludes this paper, followed by a reminder of the proposal to create an international agency on global stewardship for climate change issues.

Distribution transformer efficiency in a liberalised market | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • A widespread use of high efficiency transformers could save the world 100 TWh/year. Under normal conditions, purchasing high efficiency transformers is both economically and environmentally sound. In the liberalized European energy market however, the regulatory and financial framework obstructs utility companies from making long term investments like purchasing high efficient transformers. National regulators put pressure on utility companies to do cost cutting and do not compensate with sufficient incentives for energy efficiency. According to this paper, there is a heterogeneous treatment between generation on renewable energy and transformer efficiency. Yet the greenest kWh is still the one that is saved, even when it is compared to a kWh derived from a renewable source.

Liberalization of electricity market scrutinised | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • Throughout the world, the deregulation of utilities like gas, railway, water and telephone is at the centre of many governments’ economic policy. The liberalisation process of electricity, however, is slower than anticipated. Both in Europe and North-America, for various reasons, a full-scale implementation of the liberalization of the market is being hindered. A lack of sufficient physical capacity to allow cross-border trade of electricity is only one of those reasons. In the long run, the prices of electricity can't be expected to go down. Or will they? A reflection based on the discussions at the World Forum on Energy Regulation, Rome, October 5-9, 2003.

The maintenance manager's guide to circuit protection | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • In this guide, circuit protection is detailed as a way to ensure an installation is safe and functional. This document is concerned primarily with protection against the effects of over-currents and fault currents for property protection, but the improvements presented may also lead to secure people as an indirect benefit. There is a focus on circuit breakers as well as on issues that are likely to arise in circuit maintenance and it takes a systemic approach.

Estimation of the energy losses of transformers at wind turbines | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  • The lower bound of generation is NOT zero, as implied by the graph, but is actually negative when the windmill is not generating. The core is excited from the HV side, just like in a distribution system. When there is no generation, the transformer actually pulls power from the grid. For renewables, you should be using transformers with amorphous metal cores which cut no load losses by 70 percent.

Intelligent E-Transportation Management | Leonardo ENERGY - 0 views

  •  
    "This paper describes the performance of the network of a typical future residential concept area, as has been studied in the Intelligent E-Transportation Management project. Several scenarios have been elaborated by load flow simulations. The study investigated what level of introduction of electric vehicles, heat pumps, photovoltaic systems and micro- combined heat and power plants is feasible in this network. Possible overload situations are examined and the opportunities of demand side management for the power grid are investigated. In general load-flow simulations show that transformer overloads will occur when electric heat pumps and electric vehicles are introduced together in this specific grid. In that case extension of the grid or of the transformer capacity is necessary. Alternatively, demand side management can be applied successfully to mitigate the overload."
