SECTION A. General description of project activity

A.1 Title of the project activity:

>>

Installation of amorphous transformers in Shandong power distribution grid

Version 1.0

Date: 23/08/2007

A.2. Description of the project activity:

>>

The purpose of this project activity is to accelerate the installation of amorphous transformers in

Shandong power distribution grid in China. At present, silicon steel plate transformers are common and

amorphous transformers is not commonly installed in China, because the production of amorphous

transformers requires a specific and advanced technology and the price of amorphous transformers isabout 1.5 times higher than silicon steel plate transformers.

Through this CDM project activity, the project participant will manufacture and sell amorphous

transformers for installation in the Shandong power distribution grid as an alternative for low-efficiency

silicon steel plate transformers. By installing such efficient transformers in the power distribution grid,

the project activity is expected to reduce electricity consumptions which result in reducing CO 2 emitted

from the power grid.

By accelerating the promotion of high energy-efficiency transformer, the CDM project activity will

contribute to Chinese sustainable development in the following four aspects.

1) Promote energy-saving economic growth;

2) Lessen energy security concerns;

3) Improve the quality of Chinese transformers; and

4) Expand the market of energy-saving amorphous transformers

A.4.1.4. Detail of physical location, including information allowing the

unique identification of this project activity (maximum one page):

>>Amorphous transformers will be equipped at a number of locations in Shandong power distribution grid.

The level of voltage is below 10kV.

A.4.2. Category(ies) of project activity:>>

Supply side energy efficiency improvements transmission and distribution

A.4.3. Technology to be employed by the project activity:

>>

Transformers convert electrical energy from one voltage level to another. They are an essential part of

the electricity transmission and distribution network. After generation in power plants, electrical energy

needs to be transported to the areas where it is consumed. A large number of transformers of different

classes and sizes are needed in the transmission and distribution network, with a wide range of operating

voltages.

There are two different types of losses that constitute transformer loss:

No-load loss (also called iron loss or core loss): Caused by the hysteresis and eddy currents in thecore. It is present whenever the transformer is connected, and independent of the load. It represents

a constant, and therefore significant, energy drain.

Load loss (or copper loss): Caused by the resistive losses in the windings and leads, and by eddycurrents in the structural steelwork and the windings. It varies with the square of the load current.

No-load loss can be reduced by selecting a high performance steel for the core. Recent development of

amorphous iron introduced a significant new evolution for reducing the no-load loss. These transformers

have cores wound with amorphous ribbon made from a ferric metal alloy produced by very rapid

quenching to avoid crystallisation.

The project activity will manufacture distribution transformers built with amorphous iron cores. Since

amorphous transformers have significantly lower no-load losses, the installation of this type of

transformers can contribute to great reduction of energy losses in the power distribution grid.

SECTION B. Application of a baseline methodology

B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline methodology applied to the project activity:

>>

Methodology for installation of amorphous transformers in a power grid

B.2 Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project

activity:

>>

The baseline methodology is applicable because the proposed project activity meets all the applicability

conditions of the methodology in the following way:

Applicability conditions of the methodology

How the proposed project activity meets the

applicability conditionsApplicability Condition 1:

The efficiency, or the value of load loss and

no-load loss, of transformers generally used is

guaranteed by standard specifications

determined by the national authorities.

In China, the value of load loss and no-load loss for

distribution transformers is stipulated in national mandatory

standard, which is called GB 2005-2006 / The minimum

allowable values of energy efficiency and the evaluating

values of energy conservation for three-phase distribution

transformers.

As stated above, the value of load loss and no-load loss of

transformers are given in the Chinese standard GB 2005-

2006.

Applicability Condition 2:

Load loss of amorphous transformers to be

installed by the project activity, which is

confirmed by performance test report

submitted by manufactures, is equal or smaller

than that of transformers generally used at the

equivalent capacity.

The current standard is S9 type and a new standard called

S11 is expected to be introduced in year 2011.

According to GB 2005-2006, the load loss of an amorphous

transformer shall be equal to those of silicon steel plate

transformers such as S9 and S11 type.

The amount of the load loss for a silicon steel plate

transformer is shown in the standard, while the amount of the

load loss for an amorphous transformer will be tested and

assured before installation.

Applicability Condition 3:

No-load loss of amorphous transformers to be

installed by the project activity, which is

confirmed by performance test reportsubmitted by manufactures, is smaller than

that of transformers generally used at the

equivalent capacity.

The no-load loss of an amorphous transformer is smaller than

that of a silicon steel plate transformer.

The amount of the no-load loss for a silicon steel platetransformer is shown in the standard, while the amount of the

no-load loss for an amorphous transformer will be tested and

assured before installation.

B.3. Description of how the sources and gases included in the project boundary


7/24




>>

The project boundary is Shandong power distribution grid where amorphous transformers are installed by

the project activity. It also includes fossil fuel power plants which supply electricity to the grid, because

this is the base of GHG emissions reductions.

Of the two types of losses generated by the amorphous transformer, only the difference between No-load

loss is counted, because the amount of Load loss does not differ by type in China.

B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified

baseline scenario:

>>

The baseline methodology requires the following steps to identify the baseline scenario for the project

activity.

[Step 1] List up all the possible transformers

First, project proponents shall identify all the alternative transformers which are currently prevalent in the

market or are likely to be developed in the near future. These candidates are

S9 type of silicon steel plate transformer S10 type of silicon steel plate transformer

S11 type of silicon steel plate transformer Amorphous transformer

Sub-step 1b Enforcement of applicable laws and regulations

All scenarios will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

[Step 2] Identify the most feasible baseline scenario, using additionality tool


8/24




Project proponents shall identify the most plausible baseline scenario among the aboves, using the latest

approved version of the tool for the determination and assessment of additionality.

In the absence of the project activity, amorphous transformers will not be produced/installed because ofthe following barriers;

Technological barriers

Manufacture of amorphous ribbon is the state-of-the-art technology, and a substantial research effortis required to enable the production.

According to the Research report on development in china transformer industry, there is very fewmaterials available in China, which is one of the most critical limiting factor of amorphous

transformers.

Institutional barriers

Ineffectiveness of policies which accelerate promotion of the amorphous transformer.

Investment barriers

In China, the price data of transformers are taken as confidential business information both by thegrid company and manufacturers, therefore those data are not publicly available. However,

according to several information sources, it appears that the price of amorphous transformer is

approx. 1.5 times higher than that of silicon steel plate transformer.

Shandong Electric Power Corporation (SEPCO) has positively considered the possibility ofintroducing amorphous transformers for many years and has made a trial installation into a part of its

power distribution grid, but SEPCO has gave up the installation since it turned out to be not

economically feasible due to high cost of amorphous transformers.

Prevailing practice barriers

There is no official statistics for the number of distribution transformers which has been producedand installed, and only very limited information is available. However, according to a news article

of the China Electro Mechanics Enterprise Network, the diffusion rate of amorphous transformers is

approx. 0.2 %. Moreover, according to the recent survey conducted by the China National Institute

of Standardisation, the diffusion rate of amorphous transformer is less than 1 % as shown below.

In 1980s, Chinese Government pursued a compulsory policy for installation of high energy-efficiency transformers, but amorphous transformers was excluded by market mechanisms. SEPCO

has also promoted the use of amorphous transformers to private transformer users and some users

have become aware of the cost-saving benefits of amorphous transformers. Nonetheless, they gave

up the installation because of the cost increase.

According to the Research report on development in china transformer industry, companysawareness on energy saving in rural area of China is lack, which encourages grid companies to

purchase cheaper silicon plate transformers. The production of amorphous transformers has been also

precluded by cost increase and insufficiency of materials for companies located in urban area.

Due to the prohibitive barriers mentioned above, the installation of amorphous transformer is unlikely in

the baseline scenario, and the most feasible baseline scenario options would be S9, S10 and S11.

[Step 3] Determine the ratio of transformers in the baseline scenario


9/24




From the three options prescribed in the methodology, option 1 is chosen for this project activity.

According to Option 1, the project proponent is requested to estimate the ratio of transformer types in the

baseline scenario based on the historical installation data.

1) Gather historical installation data of the identified transformer types for the past three (3) years.

2) Estimate the ratio of transformer types that would have been installed in the baseline scenario. Take the

average of the three (3) years as the ratio for the first crediting period.

Installation of transformers in the Shandong power distribution grid for the past three (3) years is as

follows:

Percentage

Year 2003 Year 2004 Year 2005Average

S7 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

S9 99.1% 98.4% 97.7% 98.3%

S11 0.9% 1.6% 2.3% 1.7%Others 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

Therefore, the most likely baseline scenario is 98.3% of S9-type and 1.7% of S11-type.

No-load loss in the baseline scenario is calculated as follows:

Calculation of no-load loss in the baseline scenario

(kVA) Baseline scenario Project activity

315 666 140

315kVA: No-load loss = 670W x 0.983 + 480W x 0.017 = 666

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below

those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity (assessment

and demonstration of additionality):

>>

As explained in Section B.4., the most plausible baseline scenario is identified as the case where the S9-

type (98.3%) and S11-type (1.7%) would be newly installed, and amorphous transformers would not be

produced/installed in the absence of the CDM project activity.

STEP 4 Common Practice Analysis

As stated in Step 2 regarding barriers due to prevailing practices, it is not a common practice. There is no

activity similar to the proposed project activity in China and there are only few manufacturers of

amorphous transformers.

STEP 5 Impact of CDM Registration

The approval and registration of the project activity as a CDM activity would result inter alia in the

following benefits:

The CDM project activity will reduce GHG emissions

The CDM project activity will trigger the replication of such projects in the power transmission anddistribution grid, to promote GHG abatement throughout China.


10/24




The CDM project activity will raise awareness of necessity of energy saving in the industry of powertransmission and distribution as they are not well aware of the high emissions associated with

electricity loss.

The diffusion of amorphous transformers by the CDM project activity will increase the production.The CDM project activity will stimulate further R&D efforts to improve the energy efficiency of

amorphous transformers.

B.6. Emission reductions:

B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices:

>>

According to the baseline methodology, project proponents shall list up all the possible transformers and

determine the ratio of transformers in the baseline scenario. As already mentioned in [Step 3] of B.4., the

project activity considered all the options and determined the baseline scenario as the case where S9 type

(98.3%) and S11 type (1.7%) of silicon steel plate transformers would be installed.

12/24




Since the load loss does not differ between amorphous transformers and silicon steel plate

transformers, emission reductions generated by the project activity are calculated only by the difference

in no-load loss between them.

As shown in the following table, the value of no-load loss for distribution transformers is stipulated in

national mandatory standard, which is called GB 2005-2006.

* Data for amorphous transformer is provisional.

Data for silicon transformer comes from GB 2005-2006 The minimum allowable values of energy efficiencyand the evaluating values of energy conservation for three-phase distribution transformers.

The calculation of the emission reductions was made under the assumption that the target capacity of

amorphous transformers be 0.237 GVA per year for the project activity. The estimation also suppose that

they introduce amorphous transformers with the capacity of 315 kVA only and with oil-filled type only.

Since the most likely baseline scenario is 98.3% of S9-type and 1.7% of S11-type, no-load loss in the

baseline scenario is calculated as follows:

Calculation of no-load loss in the baseline scenario

No-load lossCapacity

However, the scale of the project activity i.e. how much capacity of the amorphous transformer will be

installed through the project activity largely varies depending on the demand increase. In addition, the

capacity and the type of each amorphous transformer equipped are various. For these reasons, the

calculation above for the emission reductions is very preliminary and is subject to change. The total

installed capacity and the capacity of each amorphous transformer should be monitored ex-post.
