Topics: • Reviewing the drivers and trends that are impacting APAC energy development • Identifying key challenges in adopting Renewable technologies • Discussing critical lessons that can be learned from other global energy players • Smart Grid Strategy: Status, timeline and implications

Turnaround of Delhi discoms has been a big success story in Indian power sector & has delivered a message to the entire world that public private partnership in electricity distribution sector would work. The country (India) looses more than Rs. 280 Billion due to theft annually.

Moderator: Rick Nicholson – VP Research, IDC Energy Insights Panelists: Dr Sun Tack Hwang – VP, Korea Nuclear Fuel Bill Meehan – Utilities Director, ESRI Dinh Quang Tri – VP, Vietnam Electricity Ernesto Pantango – SVP, First Gen Corporation Thomas Ligocki – CEO, Clevest

Key take-aways: 1. Although theft is a social problem, but technology can be successfully used to curb the same 2. Intelligent meter play a very important role in generating use full data 3. A strong IT system is required to analyse the collected data so as theft can be then controlled

Almost 2/3rd of Delhi electricity distribution is catered by BSES. The reduction of AT&C losses in Delhi owes a lot to having the right metering strategies and choosing the right technologies to contain energy theft. The policing department in DESCOM (normally called enforcement Department) needs lot strengthening

This paper briefs about how enforcement department, in collaboration with Meter group and IT have being so effective and company is able to bring loss from 63% (in 2002) to 23% (expected end Dec 2009). Most of loss reduction is after enforcement had two powerful enablers’ i.e. intelligent meter and data analytics and managements. The basic three steps of theft control are: • Prevention • Detection • Enforcement action Theft can be prevented by using AB Cable, meter with anti theft features, proper installation, use of meter box, use of AMR. Still if there is theft same has to be precisely detected so as further action can be taken. Detection and giving lead is the key of success and where In BSES has used extensively intelligent meter and data management. Leader: Arun Kanchan – Director, BSES Rajdhani Power & BSES Yamuna Power

Solid Insulation Switchgear

Successful Integration of Renewable Energy into the Grid – What Asian Players Can Adopt from this Model?

The world of medium voltage switchgear has seen various developments over the last ﬁfty years. In the 70s Bulk oil circuit breakers gave way to Minimum oil circuit breakers. (MOCB) The MOCB was touted as the 1. How safe is this technology breaker that would answer all the problems seen with 2. Does it meet the the bulk oil technology. The MOCB gave way to the requirements of space and SF6 breaker in the 80s which in turn gave way to the electrical parameters required vacuum breaker technology a little while later. Howin a modern day system ever for much of this period the insulation remained 3. Ease of use and maintenance air. The rising cost of land prices in prime areas within as opposed to a GIS the city led to looking at developing smaller switchgear with higher ratings. This was done by providing gas insulated switchgear instead of air. Since inert gases like SF6 had better insulation properties than air, the size of the switchgear could be reduced substantially.

Key take-aways:

However in 1997, SF6 was placed on the list of green house gases under the Kyoto protocol. Countries all over the world have taken a pledge to reduce the effects of these green house gases. So the search was on to ﬁnd a suitable insulation medium for the new generation switchgear. It was not possible to go back to Air since the switchgear would become bigger and size was a constraint. (The prices of land are even higher now). So began the development of solid insulation switchgear.

Topics: • Understanding the role of government policy and arrangements to promote invest in renewable energy in order to reduce carbon emissions • Identifying the technology being employed and being developed to meet policy targets • Uncovering the impact of those technologies on the power system and infrastructure requirements • Insight into the strategies behind the integration of renewable energy, speciﬁcally in the implementation of wind generation • Addressing the reliability and security issues of renewable energy and how it will impact on the market outcomes Moderator: Rick Nicholson – VP Research, IDC Energy Insights Panelists: Danice Endawie Ita – COO, Sarawak Energy Dinh Quang Tri – VP, Electricity of Vietnam

Switchcraft GMBH, has perfected one such design which not only matches all the electrical parameters of a 33 kV GIS, but is also substantially smaller. The breaker was developed as a answer to the pledge taken to reduce green house gases and we are proud to say that this technology is now ready for use.

Performance Improvement Through New Network Component Strategies

Environmental Best Practices in Thermal Power Plant

Key take-aways: 1. Need for structured network performance measurement. 2. Evaluation and selection of network components (Capex, Opex) 3. Implementing longterm network component strategy

Improving performance of power distribution networks is a permanent challenge for DNO’s around the world. The workshop will focus on discussing a structured approach to achieve world class technical results (SAIDI, SAIFI) while maintaining cost effectivity.

Performance measurement systems are an important tool to identify opportunities for improvement. Diagnostic methods and techniques need to be used to identify potential weakpoints in existing network conﬁgurations. Following on from this, using a top down approach, eventually network components have to be evaluated in terms of technical and economical reliability, i.e. total cost of ownership. Undergrounding of distribution networks is generally seen as an adequate strategy to reduce failure rates. Although cable infrastructure is the least visible part of distribution networks it has great impact on the general performance. Cable and accessory technologies will be discussed with the aim to identify longterm sourcing strategy options in view of distribution network optimization.

Zero Effluent Coal based Thermal Power Plant: Not a single drop of effluent will flow outside a power plant’.

Key take-aways:

Any coal based thermal power plant requires huge 1. Accomplishing dream amount of water and generates considerable amount vision to achievable mission of effluent. The sources are many. Staring from boiler 2. Sustainability of the blow down to ash water, different effluent has different accomplished mission environment threatening parameters. Discharge of such 3. How team work and effluent outside the power plant premise, thus have peoples involvement can alarming environmental degradation consequences. To make a mission possible protect the environment to the fullest extent the only answer is not to discharge a single drop of effluent outside a power plant. The solution is to build a effluent recycling network and reuse the recycled water in the input of various process. In his power plants, Mr. Chakroborti has proved that this catch line is not theoretical but a practically achievable mission. In the workshop, he has planned to present a virtual journey through the entire process with structured animated power point slides and interactions with the participants, which is aimed to ignite the confidence to sketch achievable ‘no effluent discharge plan’ in his/her industry. Leader: Sanjoy Chakraborti – Executive Director Generation, CESC Limited

Future progress of network performance can likely be achieved through technological component innovation. Another angle of the workshop will be to explore the dilemma of implementing new innovative components whilst maintaining independent sourcing strategies.

What Will NPC Do to Be Financially Sound, Be Able to Perform Its Mandate, and Be a GOCC Still?

Distribution in Competitive Market – Mumbai

Key take-aways: 1. Payment of subsidies to NPPs 2. Operation of power delivery systems 3. Operation of very unviable SPUG areas where there are no private investors

After the passage of a law in 2001 requiring the privatization of its assets, the National Power Corporation (NPC) shall remain as government-owned-and-controlled corporation (GOCC) to perform missionary electriﬁcation through the NPC-Small Power Utilities Group (NPC-SPUG) and shall be responsible for providing power generation and its associated power delivery systems in areas that are not connected to the transmission system.

In the context of its mandate, missionary electrification areas are those islands or off-grid areas that are not connected to the three main grids operating in the Philippines. The source of funds to do missionary electrification work comes from the revenue derived from sales to the different offtakers, mostly island electric cooperatives, and from the collection of a Universal Charge for Missionary Electrification (UC-ME). The role of missionary electrification is not entirely left to NPC as private sectors are also allowed to operate in those areas. The idea is to allow the entry of private capital into those areas. The Department of Energy (DOE) has directed the privatization of SPUG areas through an executive fiat to do this. In essence, while NPC is doing missionary electrification work, it shall continue to endeavor to privatize its power generation facilities and the necessary associated power delivery systems. With the eventual elimination of its generation assets, NPC will be left with its delivery systems (transmission and distribution lines) but this posed a financial difficulty as well as the ERC did not approve the application for operating the delivery systems at its realistic level. Leader: Melburgo Chiu – VP, National Power Corporation

The distribution network in Mumbai is unique and one of its kind in world. It is getting its electricity from the three distribution companies.

Key take-aways:

1. Metering Earlier Scenario 2. Use of Smart Meter – Three distribution companies supplying electricity to 3. Cost to serve the city of Mumbai. 4. Service standards – Two distribution companies supplying majority of Retail 5. Planning ahead consumers while the third one supplying majority of Bulk 6. Network growth & some retail consumers. 7. Cost of power purchase – All the three distribution companies supplied power from their own network only. – Distribution companies were free to lay their own network to supply their consumers. – Use of competitor network was not allowed. – All three distribution companies were sourcing majority of their power from same sources. Scenario after recent regulatory reforms in Mumbai – Three distribution companies supplying electricity to the city of Mumbai. – All three distribution companies can supply any type of consumers across Mumbai in their areas of license. This has bought the competition among the utilities. – Use of competitor network allowed to avoid parallel network development. – Sourcing of power by distribution companies from multiple & different sources. – This has caused the paradigm shift in the importance of Cost & Service parameters to the consumer – This has also given rise to requirement of increased planning horizon. – First of its kind where two distribution companies own the wires as well as Retail consumers in the same area of operations.

Emergence of Super Critical Technology in India

Challenges in Operating a Thin Grid System with the Primary Load and Generation at Opposite End

Key take-aways: 1. Power Sector development and Environmental regulations in India 2. Need for development of cleaner and energy conversion efﬁciency 3. Adoption of Super & Ultra Supercritical technology in thermal power generation

Today the installed capacity in India is around 152 Giga watts and the electrical energy demand is increasing and by end of 13th ﬁ ve-year plan, i.e. by the year 2021-22, the peak electricity demand is anticipated to increase to 298 Gigawatts. With abundant coal reserves, coal will remain the main stay fuel to meet the energy demands of India for many decades to come.

Among the various clean coal technologies, improvement in efﬁciency can be achieved by using the super critical technology. Consequently, the technology leads to fuel consumption savings and reduced CO2 emissions and other pollutants signiﬁcantly. In India, the focus is shifting towards establishing power plants with large unit sizes 660, 800 and 1000 MW based on Supercritical & Ultra supercritical technology. It is envisaged that in 12th plan, i.e. by 2012 – 2017 about 60% capacity addition would be based on supercritical technology and the same may increases to about 90% in 13th plan, i.e. 2017 – 2022. Leader: Karanam Prakasa Rao – Head Engineering Services, Reliance Power

Due to a SEB Grid having the generators at one end and the load at the other, the risk of system split due to sudden tripping of generators or the transmission line is high. The initial protection to mitigate the impact is extensive use of load shedding scheme; based on frequency drop. With the more stringent demand from electronic industries, the under frequency scheme is upgraded to also activate by rate of change of frequency.

Key take-aways: 1. Understanding the problems 2. Understanding the limits 3. Idea of possible solutions

As the import of energy grows, the load shedding scheme became in effective to provide the power quality demand as the timing of the shedding of load may over or under shed giving rise to unacceptable frequency rise or too much voltage dip. As a result SEB embarked on a Smart Protection Scheme (SPS) especially to save the system from the catastrophic system split. The Smart Protection Scheme, is based on a demand and generation balance, up date, on a frequent basis. The arming of the feeders to trip are done automatic by software program. Also the manual selection also can be made, depending the requirement of the day, i.e. special area which shall not be put on the feeder list. The tripping is very fast, 125 ms. The SPS had operated once, meeting all the design parameters of speed, accuracy of load tripped, frequency & voltage excursion. Issues: • Generation Tripping • Prevention of system split. • Voltage and frequency control. • Managing risk of total breakdown. • Structure and procedure to minimize down time Possible mitigating action: • Under frequency load shedding • Automatic decoupling • Smart Protection System Leader: Danice Endawie Ita – COO, Sarawak Energy

Brian Trager

www.hendrix-wc.com | www.marmon.com

Director, Technology and International

Hendrix Wire & Cable was founded by Bill Hendrix in 1951. The company’s mission was to manufacture and market a new and unique overhead electrical distribution system consisting of unshielded covered conductors attached to a catenary wire by means of diamond shaped “spacers”. The system became known worldwide as “Aerial Spacer Cable.” The primary objectives were to improve reliability under harsh environmental conditions, co-exist with foliage, vastly reduce tree trimming costs, live in harmony with wildlife, and provide other benefits as well. Some of the latter include improved Voltage Regulation and Quality of Service, the ability to build multiple circuits simply and affordably, increase safety, and withstand operation in harsh or contaminated environments. Hendrix worldwide presence includes JBIC, ADB, USAID, and Mercosur funded projects in South America and Southeast Asia, with installations on all seven continents in over 60 countries.

Brian has worked on projects funded by international aid organizations to meet growing demand through the expansion of electric power infrastructures. He has brought to fruition numerous high-reliability power distribution projects at various sites on five continents. In addition, he consults on system requirements, teaches courses in the field, and has authored over 50 technical papers and articles for the IEEE and other national and international organizations. Brian has over 30 years of experience in the Electric Power Industry, with prior positions in engineering, consulting and management at American Electric Power Company, Cooper Power Systems and Fisher-Pierce, among others. He holds BSc and MEng degrees in Electric Power Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. He is a member of the IEEE.

Hendrix is a member company of The Marmon Group, a division of Berkshire-Hathaway. Hendrix is located in Milford, NH, USA. The facility includes an engineering lab for design and type testing, including routine electrical and physical testing. Hendrix’s full array of services includes design engineering, project management, site evaluations, Quality Assurance inspections, and Turnkey Services.

Solution The Hendrix Aerial Spacer Cable System is a highly reliable aerial distribution network. It consists of heavily covered, non-shielded conductors, supported by a high strength neutral/messenger, held separated by insulating spacers placed approximately 9 meters (30 feet) apart. This combination of the high strength messenger and coordinated design of the insulating capabilities of the cable covering, spacers, and insulators allow for close cable spacing of energized phase conductors while maintaining high reliability. System strength and durability allow for uninterrupted electric service during adverse conditions including fallen trees or tree limbs, heavy winds and broken poles. The design’s compactness significantly reduces tree trimming requirements during both initial circuit installation and later to maintain system reliability. Distribution systems have traditionally been built utilizing bare overhead, underground or pre-assembled aerial cable; spacer cable systems provide an additional option for many application challenges. Design challenges include the need to improve reliability, minimize tree trimming, improve Quality of Service, increase safety for line workers and citizens, and protect wildlife. Spacer Cable Systems also offer solutions for difficult or costly design problems, such as the need to build multiple circuits on existing poles, substation exits, transmission line underbuilds, or narrow alleys or right-of-ways.

Solution LoviSil: universal fluid silicone jointing technology Lovink Enertech’s fluid silicone technology adds a new dimension to existing knowledge in the field of medium voltage joints. The LoviSil joint is particularly suitable for application with both polymeric and paper-insulated cables. The LoviSil, a fluid silicone compound offers perfect insulation and superior electrical properties. Whenever it comes in contact with water, the fluid silicones react to form a soft and perfectly insulating rubber. This creates a seal that prevents any further ingress of moisture. The containment of the fluid silicone compound in protective inner and outer shells made of polyester and polypropylene combined with a two-component polyurethane resin ensures a withstand of water pressure up to 2 bar. Operators that run networks containing large parts of paper-insulated cable and who are located in areas with dry and wet soil, can benefit tremendously from this special characteristics. Already two generations of these LoviSil® fluid silicone cable joints are a vital part of today’s distribution networks and over the years have significantly contributed to a reliable network performance.

MD and CEO TEKE is a service company specialized in metal and concrete surface coating, cleaning of power plant heat-exchanger surfaces (TCT, TEKE Cleaning Technology) and construction reinforcements.

TEKE Cleaning Technology is a service concept for cleaning power plant boilers and its heat transfer components. Burning wet biofuels and forest residues causes a build of deposits on top of power plant boiler elements. This reduces the efficiency of the plant and in the end it forces the plant to shutdown for cleaning. TEKE has its own tools and techniques to clean these elements: burning-air preheaters, superheaters, water preheaters and precipitators. It is a fact that a clean power plant system has better heat transfer and this means remarkable economical savings. ASSURED QUALITY

Esa’s career spans 20 years of experience working as an engineer for a variety of companies. He started off as project engineer with a US-based company from 1989 to 1990. For the following two years he worked as product manager, also for a US-based company. Between 1992 and 1998 he was sales engineer and from 1998 to 2004 sales manager of Finnish-based companies. He was appointed Managing Director (CEO) of TEKE in 2004.

Using for instance carbon fibre structure composites we reinforce constructions made of concrete, wood and metal. Thanks to co-operation with several companies in many countries, our service is quick and we can carry out even comprehensive projects.

Solution TEKE has developed a service concept for cleaning power plant boilers (so called TCT) and its heat transfer components. The company has developed their own tools and techniques, which result a very good cleanliness class on all the areas, quickly. Burning-air preheater has been the most problematic component to be cleaned. Before these new tools, inner tube sections of air preheater could not be practically speaking cleaned properly. Our intention has been to find methods to clean air preheater comprehensively. Based on our practical experiences, we have created our own tools. The first generation of our tools left 7 mm layer of deposit on the lower sections of the tube batteries. Our new tools enable us to achieve virtually completely clean end results, now also in a horizontal parts of the tubing. We have chosen our blasting technology so, that a incrust separation is as good as possible, but at the same time the wear of metal is minimalistic. We have achieved this by choosing the optimum blasting material. During the cleaning, the wear of metal is less than 0,005 mm. Thanks to this, the cleaning can be done repeatedly without remarkable loss of strength of the tubing.
