Latest Feed-in-Tariff Rates for Renewable Power Generation Technologies
Fears of price spike due to renewable energy allayed
BY JOHN LOURENZE POQUIZ
The National Renewable Energy Board yesterday allayed fears of a spike in power rates with the tapping of renewable energy, saying the added cost will only be about 12.57 centavos per kilowatt-hour. (1 US$ = 41 Pesos, 1 Peso = 100 centavos)
In its proposed feed-in tariff (FIT) rates submitted to the Energy Regulatory Commission, the NREB pegged the rates at P6.15 per kWh for hydro, P7 for biomass, P10.37 for wind, P17.65 for ocean energy, and P17.95 for solar.
This gives an average of P11.82 per kWh. More »

Renewable Energy Prospecting Tools and Modeling – now available
Renewable Energy Prospecting Tools and Modeling – now available
With the recent Fukushima nuclear power plant partial meltdown, the world is now aware of the need towards developing alternative and cleaner, safer and renewable energy to supply the energy and power needs of the world. And to assist in facilitating renewable energy development, there is now a need for precise, easy-to-use renewable energy prospecting tools and using its output to assess the energy potential and the cost of its electricity output.
The energy technology expert has now expanded the usefulness of renewable energy prospecting tools such as the 3-TIER service provider (solar, wind and hydro).
Given the geographical location by specifying its coordinates (latitude and longitude), the 3-TIER provides the annual average wind speed, wind direction (wind rose), wind speed profile (wind speed vs time of year), and wind speed distribution (Weibull chart and constants).
To enhance the value of the 3-TIER outputs, the expert has now in place a wind energy assessment model that takes input data from wind prospecting tools such as 3-TIER that provides at any latitude and longitude and hub height (30, 50, 80 meters) determined from Google Earth or plain maps. The user of 3-TIER can generate and synthesize wind mast and monitoring data on wind, solar and hydro). It uses the daily average at certain times of the year (mid-month at day 15 and end of month at day 30) and interpolates the other days (day 1-14, day 16-29). More »
The Paradigm Shift from Nuclear Energy to Renewable Energy – the Fukushima debacle
The Paradigm Shift from Nuclear Energy to Renewable Energy – the Fukushima debacle
The recent nuclear meltdown incident in one of the 15th largest nuclear power plant in the world as a result of a sequence of events starting with an Intensity 9.0 earthquake that initiated a 10-15 meter tsunami wave within minutes (leaving little time for safe evacuation in spite of adequate tsunami warning by civil and military authorities) that engulfed as far as 10-20 kilometers inland along the flat lands of northeastern Japan, and in the process destroying buildings, roads, bridges, flinging ships inland and disabling the backup diesel generation system of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
There are newspaper accounts that the earthquake isolated the Fukushima nuclear power plant from the grid, and with a non-operable backup diesel generation backstopped only by an 8-hour battery pack, the world was indeed very close to a China-syndrome type nuclear power plant meltdown. Only the timely use of seawater pumped using crude methods to cool the reactor core and the spent fuel pool prevented a full meltdown. Up to now, the nuclear power plant operator has not succeeded in stabilizing the cooling water system and has relied on pumping and spraying sea water over the damaged nuclear reactors and exposed spent fuel rod cooling pools, leading to leakage of hot radioactive and contaminated sea water into the sea thru the minute cracks on the reactor building’s damage floors.

Feed-in Tariff (FiT) to be issued by March 2011
Feed-in Tariff (FiT) to be issued by March 2011
The government thru the National Renewable Energy Board (NREB) is targetting to come up with the feed-in tariff (FiT) rate scheme by the end of March this year (2011), a top Department of Energy (DOE) official said.
The FiT is the price per kWh sold that will be paid to all renewable energy (RE) developers and power generators for puting up these intermittent power generation plants. It shall be fixed for 15 years and shall be subject to review every 3 years with the possibility of lowering the FiT as technology and economy of scale improves. It is, however, prospective, and applies only to future RE projects, thus protecting the earlier RE investments from regulatory and pricing risks arising from technological improvements. The RE technologies being intermittent are thus considered must run and will be dispatched when available and transmission and distribution system operators are obliged to ensure that investments are made to ensure their safe and stable connection into the grid.

Evaluating Renewable Energy Potential and Project Economics Made Easy
Evaluating Renewable Energy Potential and Project Economics Made Easy
Your energy technology selection expert wishes to announce the latest release of renewable energy (RE) project finance and energy resource evaluation tools, specifically for evaluating the performance of RE hybrid combinations such as minihydro-diesel, solar PV-diesel, wind-diesel PV and biomass gasification-diesel generation for off-grid as well as on-grid systems. The model will calculate the RE resource potential, predict the annual generation, and then calculate annual average capacity factors.
For off-grid, the model evaluates also the optimum fossil fuel back-up support so that the RE (minihydro, solar, wind, biomass) hybrid system will provide 24/7 hours of affordable and reliable electricity service.
Don’t waste your time evaluating the RE potential using obsolete and un-integrated software that are site and technology specific. In just a few minutes and few hours, you could run a series of wind site evaluations which compares the wind power levelized selling price (tariff) to your country’s diesel power generation cost or feed-in tariff.
It’s now the right time to change to the fully-integrated multi-site RE hybrid evaluation tools. More »
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Power Project
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to Power Project
This is a power point presentation with a project finance model for calculating feed-in tariff (FiT).
The FiT is a renewable energy charge paid to renewable energy (RE) developers for providing power to the grid. It is paid for by the Transco operator who collects a renewable energy charge (REC) from all consumers of electricity in the country. By being spread out to all consumers, the burden of a higher FiT compared to the average grid rate is shared equally by all citizens and consumers alike since they will benefit from the positive impact of RE on global warming and climate change issues.
