Transformer De-Energizing & Dairy Plate Heat Exchanger Standard Protocol Proposal Presentation to the RTF February 20, 2013 Protocol History • Adopted “deemed calculator” versions in 2002 • Savings Guidelines adopted 6/1/11 which removed deemed calculator category • Cascade Energy awarded contract in 2012 to convert deemed calculators to Guidelines compliant Standard Protocols • Presented draft protocols at Oct. & Nov. 2012 RTF meetings Protocol History • Received feedback at meetings on likely path – Small Saver recommended at Nov. RTF meeting for both protocols • Tabled decisions until updated Savings Guidelines were adopted to allow for Small Saver Standard Protocols • Mike Baker reviewed for compliance with updated 12/11/12 Savings Guidelines • Presenting revised proposal today Standard Protocol TRANSFORMER DE-ENERGIZING Protocol Summary Eligibility • • • • Baseline Existing energized transformer with periods of no-load Upgrade De-energize the transformer for periods of no-load Liquid-filled or dry-type transformers Single phase between 3 kVA – 167 kVA Three phase between 15 kVA – 1,000 kVA Low voltage (<= 600V) Best Practice Savings Estimate 1. Determine no-load loss by measuring the power of the transformer when it is energized, but does not have an electrical load. 2. Collect transformer nameplate data (type, voltage, phase, capacity rating). 3. Determine the number of hours per year the transformer is de-energized based on utility record of date(s) of deenergization and date(s) of re-energization. 4. Savings are calculated as the product of hours of de-energization and no load power draw. 5. Savings are to be determined in this manner each year the transformer is de-energized. Simplest Reliable Savings Estimate 1. Determine no-load loss by: a) Default rated capacity by utilizing default NEMA TP-1 transformer efficiency ratings b) Alternately, use manufacturer published no-load loss or power measurement 2. Remaining steps follow the Best Practice. RTF feedback from last meeting • Using NEMA tables vs. field data collection – Field data collection is costly, and savings are not justified given the expense – Regionally representative default table would be better however not worth the cost to obtain given small savings – Only two utilities run xfmr de-energizing programs – Keep NEMA table as-is and realize protocol is a small saver for the region Protocol changes since November • Cleaned up verbiage to clarify definitions, delivery verification and data collection characteristics • Biggest change is restructuring of simplest reliable method to use NEMA default table – Previously had manufacturer rating as primary collection method, default table as secondary – Guidelines require alternate methods to be of sufficient or better reliability RTF Proposed Motion: “I _________ move that the RTF approve the Transformer De-Energizing Standard Protocol and assign it to a “Small Saver” category with “Active” status and a sunset date of February 20, 2017.” Standard Protocol DAIRY HEAT EXCHANGER Process Flow Diagram T T T = temperature measurement Measure Definition Eligibility Plate and frame heat exchanger Retrofit only Water is the cooling fluid, and has constant flow known cooling water flow rate, and inlet and outlet temperatures, or alternately, known milk outlet temperature Baseline Mechanical refrigeration system to cool milk May or may not have existing milk pre-cooler Upgrade Add milk-to-water plate and frame heat exchanger or replace existing. Simplest Reliable Method Same equations as Best Practice, different data collection Simplest Reliable method • 𝑇𝑚−𝑜𝑢𝑡 can be impossible to measure. • Easier to measure water heat gain rate than milk heat loss for baseline and post water-cooled HXR. 𝑄𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐵𝑇𝑈/ℎ = 𝑚𝑤 ∗ 𝑇𝑤−𝑜𝑢𝑡−𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 − 𝑇𝑤−𝑖𝑛 • Need to measure transfer pump runtime per quantity of milk 𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐵𝑇𝑈/𝑦𝑟 = 𝑚𝑚 ∗ 𝐶𝑝 ∗ 𝑇𝑚−𝑖𝑛 − 𝑇𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑄𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 ∗ t 𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 ∗ 𝑚𝑚 − 𝑚𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡 Total heat rejection • Same equations for post HXR Portion removed by water RTF feedback from last meeting • Added heat from transfer pump assumed to be trivial; effect not included in calculation • Specify that measurements are taken close to HX to avoid varying system configurations • COP sensitivity analysis performed – COP assumptions reasonably accurate across wide range of expected suction/discharge temps • Develop COP lookup tables for other common refrigerants Protocol changes since November • Cleaned up verbiage to clarify definitions, delivery verification and data collection characteristics • Removed New Construction from eligible projects due to missing standard practice baseline • Added language directing practitioner to measure water temperatures as close as possible to the heat exchanger • Made all refrigerants eligible for the protocol, with all refrigerants other than R-22 and R-507 assumed to have the same COP as R-404a Protocol changes since November • Added supporting documentation to capture “non-protocol specific” analysis • Biggest change is restructuring of simplest reliable method in protocol – Previously had temp probe measurement as primary collection method – Guidelines require alternate methods to be of sufficient or better reliability RTF Proposed Motion: “I _________ move that the RTF approve the Dairy Heat Exchanger Standard Protocol and assign it to a “Small Saver” category with “Active” status and a sunset date of February 20, 2017.” COP Sensitivity Analysis • COP dependent on refrigerant, suction & discharge pressures • Calculator COP assumptions: • • • Suction temp = 20 °F below storage temp Typical discharge pressure = 200 psig Pressure cut-in/cut-out setpoints unchanged if change refrigerant • • i.e. 200 psig discharge pressure remains typical for all 3 refrigerants Refrigerant is known (R-22, R-404, R-507) • Table compares energy savings with fluctuating COP (best practice) vs. simplest reliable method. • Conclusion COP assumptions are reasonably accurate across a wide range of suction/discharge pressures Suction Temperature R-22 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Discharge Pressure (psig) 160 164 22.0% 20.1% 21.9% 20.0% 21.7% 19.8% 21.6% 19.7% 21.5% 19.6% 21.5% 19.5% 21.4% 19.4% 21.4% 19.4% 21.4% 19.4% 21.4% 19.4% 21.5% 19.4% 21.5% 19.4% 21.6% 19.5% 168 18.2% 18.0% 17.8% 17.7% 17.5% 17.4% 17.4% 17.3% 17.3% 17.3% 17.3% 17.3% 17.3% 172 16.3% 16.0% 15.8% 15.7% 15.5% 15.4% 15.3% 15.2% 15.1% 15.1% 15.1% 15.1% 15.1% 176 14.3% 14.0% 13.8% 13.6% 13.4% 13.3% 13.2% 13.1% 13.0% 12.9% 12.9% 12.9% 12.9% 180 12.3% 12.0% 11.8% 11.5% 11.3% 11.2% 11.0% 10.9% 10.8% 10.7% 10.7% 10.7% 10.6% 184 10.3% 10.0% 9.7% 9.5% 9.2% 9.0% 8.9% 8.7% 8.6% 8.5% 8.4% 8.4% 8.4% 188 8.2% 7.9% 7.6% 7.3% 7.1% 6.9% 6.7% 6.5% 6.4% 6.3% 6.2% 6.1% 6.0% 192 6.2% 5.8% 5.5% 5.2% 4.9% 4.7% 4.5% 4.3% 4.1% 4.0% 3.9% 3.8% 3.7% 196 4.1% 3.7% 3.4% 3.0% 2.8% 2.5% 2.3% 2.0% 1.9% 1.7% 1.5% 1.4% 1.3% 200 2.0% 1.6% 1.2% 0.9% 0.6% 0.3% 0.0% -0.2% -0.4% -0.6% -0.8% -0.9% -1.1% 204 -0.1% -0.5% -0.9% -1.3% -1.7% -2.0% -2.3% -2.5% -2.8% -3.0% -3.2% -3.3% -3.5% 208 -2.2% -2.7% -3.1% -3.5% -3.9% -4.2% -4.5% -4.8% -5.1% -5.3% -5.5% -5.7% -5.9% 212 -4.3% -4.8% -5.3% -5.7% -6.1% -6.5% -6.8% -7.1% -7.4% -7.7% -7.9% -8.1% -8.3% 216 -6.4% -7.0% -7.5% -7.9% -8.3% -8.7% -9.1% -9.4% -9.8% -10.0% -10.3% -10.6% -10.8% 220 -8.6% -9.1% -9.6% -10.1% -10.6% -11.0% -11.4% -11.8% -12.1% -12.4% -12.7% -13.0% -13.2% 224 -10.7% -11.3% -11.8% -12.3% -12.8% -13.3% -13.7% -14.1% -14.4% -14.8% -15.1% -15.4% -15.7% 228 -12.8% -13.4% -14.0% -14.5% -15.0% -15.5% -16.0% -16.4% -16.8% -17.1% -17.5% -17.8% -18.1% 232 -14.9% -15.6% -16.2% -16.7% -17.3% -17.8% -18.2% -18.7% -19.1% -19.5% -19.9% -20.2% -20.5% 236 -17.0% -17.7% -18.3% -18.9% -19.5% -20.0% -20.5% -21.0% -21.4% -21.8% -22.2% -22.6% -22.9% 240 -19.1% -19.8% -20.5% -21.1% -21.7% -22.2% -22.8% -23.3% -23.7% -24.2% -24.6% -25.0% -25.4%
