POLICY WORKING GROUP MEETINGENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLES

17 February 2011 Almeria (Spain)

Manuel B. Acevedo

• Wind turbines with outputs below 100 kW, are only used for electricity generation in isolated environments.

Waste of great potential for discharges to the grid.

• Renewable energy has great potential but must overcome the existing barriers:

LEGISLATIVE

TECHNOLOGY

SOCIAL

PREVENT sector development even though there are

appropriate Spanish technology and manufacturers.

ADMINISTRATIVE

SMALL WINDSITUATION IN SPAIN

SITUATION IN SPAIN :

BARRIERS TO DEVELOPMENT LEGISLATIVELack of:

Regulatory and remuneration framework.

Rules of grid connection proper to small wind facilities.

ADMINISTRATIVELocal regulations and permits are excessive and poorly defined.

CCAA ,Councils ,Municipalities,industry, are unaware on how to proceed.

Currently, if you want to connect an installation to the grid:-Administrative processing as photovoltaic requirements <100kW.-Procedures as for high-power wind farms

PREVENTSDevelopment of reliable technology

at competitive costs

Market activation

Specific legislation : Inexistent

B.2 group including: facilities using only wind as primary energy

(RD-661/2007 )

SITUATION IN SPAIN :

BARRIERS TO DEVELOPMENT

• TECHNOLOGY• Dealing the small wind as the great wind even when there are

clear differences in technology and costs.• Lack of standardization and mass production technology that

allows lower prices.

• SOCIETYNeed for acceptance by the society of this relatively new technology.

Information and Awareness Campaigns

increase their use in markets

already entered enhance penetration in urban environments

PROPOSALS FOR DEVELOPMENT

OF MINI WIND SECTOR

1. Specific and different regulatory framework from the big wind.

2. Specific retributive adjustment system.

3. Redeem projects / facilities in a period not exceeding 2/3 of the equipment useful life.

4. Limit the economic return per year (KW subsidized).

5. Regulating system to prevent large facilities.

6. Supply point previously contracted with the supplier company.

7. Limiting the installed power to 150% of the supply contract.

8. Values complying with noise and safety regulation.

9. Safety Regulations for connection to the grid.

10. Establish a simplified administrative process, to streamline administrative procedures .

BYLAW MODEL BYLAW MODELSmall wind installations Bylaw (From APPA)Objectives: -Develop a generic bylaw for small wind installations, in order to facilitate the installation and construction of small wind energy systems at the municipal level, both for municipal buildings and private owners, subject to reasonable restrictions to preserve the public health and safety.

Motivation: -Unify criteria and to ensure quality facilities to allow orderly growth of small wind energy in Spain. -Establish legislation (now inexistent) to establish certain noise and vibration minimum. -Provide Municipalities the processing of small wind installations, finishing with the complexity and ignorance existent at present day. -Introduce energy criteria in building projects. -To show the possibilities of generating clean and local energy (education and awareness).

- Certification process Costs :around € 200.000-250.000, is prohibitive for small manufacturers. (> 10,000 SWT / year) to amortize the cost.

- CIEMAT is working on a Spanish standard, based on the British standard.

- In the revised standard (IEC 61.400-3), which is currently underway by CIEMAT is contemplated VAWT.

- Objectives :

-Designing a quality label comparable throughout the world focused on the users so that they can compare and verify .-Meeting certain standards (Class I, II, III, ...) and duration trial tests.

What is ITACA?

•Identification of optimal management models for people mobility•Survey of innovative technologies for Sustainable Mobility

• Identify best practices and approaches to achieve an integrated urban renewal and local mobility management process

Innovative Transport Approach in Cities and metropolitan Areas (ITACA) is a POWER Programme Project to…

Activity Outputs and results

Optimal management models for people mobility

Innovative technologies (electric /fuel cell vehicles mixed

fleets, RE charging points, hydrogen from RE, ITS,ICT,

etc.)

Definition of a comprehensive methodology and an assessment of the success/failure factors of the implemented measures to define "good practice" feasible in similar contexts to concerned.

Handbook to help to policy and decision makers to choose the most suitable methodology and technical solutions for CO2 reduction: Definition of “best available technologies” in short-mid term for sustainable low-carbon transport

Showcase in Regione Emilia-Romagna

Management Models

Cattolica - San Giovanni APEA (No. 4 in the picture) is located in the southern part of the province, at an important modal node (A14-SS16-SP17/58).The area hosts today over 150 companies (3,300 employees mainly working in the textile industry).


Management Models

The project aims to identify an optimal management model for freights and people mobility in productive areas qualified as "ecologically equipped", in order to:

Reduce individual and private car use for the home - work movements with dedicated measure focusing on car pooling, public transports and cycling mobility support;

Rationalize the allocation and use of fleets car business also for PMI using car sharing and van sharing services as well;

Improve the reconciliation of free time and work with particular attention to the standing facility services for working and urban areas.


Management Models

Activities consist of:

-Development of analysis and communication instruments;

-Involvement of municipalities, companies and local communities;

-Definition of flexible measures - towards the most innovative measures that facilitate greater reconciliation between free and working time;

The expected results relate to the definition of a comprehensive methodology (analysis and project reports) and an assessment of the success/failure factors of the implemented measures (monitoring report) in order to:

Define "good practice“ reusable in similar contexts

Showcase in Huelva

Management Models

EXPECTED RESULTS

-Connect the existing bike lane network in Huelva municipalities.-Cyclist and pedestrian mobility Plan.-Encourage pedestrian and bike mobility.

-Collective transportation plan.-Solve traffic problems of heavy vehicles in the main streets-Shared Transport under Demand.-Encourage the Carpooling use.-Establish a good public transport system.-Environmental and energy inventory of transport sector.-Specific Transportation Plan in pilgrimage season, summer ...

SubGroup Innovative Technologies aims:

-Helping to policy and decision makers to choose the most suitable “best available technologies” in short-mid term for sustainable low-carbon transport


•Definition of available new technologies for sustainable transport and CO2 reduction.

Main activities

•Collection of available data from European and National projects involving new technologies for sustainable transport and CO2 reduction. Creation of a harmonized database to compare real data in terms of energy efficiency and CO2 emissions, including operational data related to country, city, population, extension, type of city, climatology, etc.


Main activities

•Analysis of database results from different points of view and criteria, in order to find the most suitable “best available technologies” for every particular case.

•In parallel, collection of showcases/good practices about use of innovative technologies for CO2 emissions reduction.


Harmonized database present status

•7 projects and demonstration activities.•More than 30 cases using different technologies.•Projects from USA and Europe.•Different types of :

o Cities.o Technologies.o Type of vehicle.o Use of vehicle.o Vehicle range.o Energy source.
