Fears of price spike due to renewable energy feed-in tariff 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. (MTO: but will be blended at 3% to the grid’s 97%)

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 arithmetic average of P11.82 per kWh (weighted average is P8.8939 per kWh). More »

50% Discount on Renewable Energy Project Finance Models – Order Now

This June 2011, your favorite energy technology expert is offering its highly successful project finance models for renewable energy and power generation technologies for determining the first year tariff to meet equity returns of the investor (DCF IRR) which could be compared with the regulator’s feed-in tariff (FiT).

Jump start your consultancy career and make quality feasibility studies for renewable energy resource assessment that determines the annual capacity factor of intermittent renewable energy resources, which is then fed into the project finance models for RE technologies such as biomass combution, biomass gasification, solar PV and solar thermal, wind energy, mini-hydro, large hydro, geothermal, ocean wave, ocean current, tidal and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC).

The oil and gas resources going to be depleted in our lifetime and nuclear energy having safety issues, the world has to turn to the immense renewable energy resources of the earth.

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 »

How to Optimize Power Plant Design and Configuration (technology, capacity, efficiency, location) – see download file for input data

Optimizing the overall project concept during the plant feasibility study and detailed engineering study is a common problem faced by project developers and EPC contractors.  The question commonly asked by project owners from project developers and designers are:

(1) What engine/manufacturer should be considered (e.g. Siemens, Westinghouse, General Electric, Mitsubishi, Alstom, etc)? More »

Project Finance Model for Hybrid Power Plant / Multi-fuel System with CDM

Project Finance Model for Hybrid Power Plant / Multi-fuel System with CDM

During implementation of a project feasibility study for a natural gas pipeline that will serve an anchor load 250-500 mw natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), it was felt that additional market for the excess Malampaya natural gas (300 mw surplus plus banked gas for sale) needs to be developed to improve the economics of the pipeline.

Doing a market, technical and feasibility study for this end-use conversion economics will thus entail developing a robust project finance model that is versatile enought to handle conversion of existing power generation and steam/process heat technologies (coal fired, bunker fired, diesel fired diesel electric generators, steam and process heat equipment, refrigeration) to natural gas firing.

The author, an energy technology and business development consultant, has prepared an Incremental Economics Conversion Model for comparing a base case (existing coal-fired or oil fired generation, process heat, refrigeration and air conditioning equipment) versus a more energy efficient, less polluting and cheaper to operate natural gas-fired equipment.

Solar Energy

The file (871 KB) will cover the following topics:

Solar energy has potential of supplying all our energy needs for: electric, thermal, process, chemical and even transportation; however, it is very diffuse, cyclic and often undependable because of varying weather conditions.

  • Sun – largest object in our solar system; outer visible layer called photosphere has temperature of 6,000 C
  • Sunlight or solar energy – main source of energy for wind, hydro, ocean and biomass.
