| Q |
What is the GENEFF strategy? |
| A |
The GENEFF strategy activities concerning reduction
of energy consumption and improve heat rate. GENEFF project
will also facilitate developing appropriate guidelines,
regulations and norms for achieving enhanced energy conversion
efficiencies by the designated consumers in the thermal
power generation sector. |
|
| Q |
How does the GENEFF strategy
differ from other approaches? |
| A |
The GENEFF strategy
is based on the BEE’s role as a facilitator by assisting
utilities to investigate the
reasons for low efficiency,
measurement of thermal power performance indicators
and preparing DPRs for energy
efficiency projects. The objective is to support profit
oriented service backed by the public mandate of BEE.
|
|
| Q |
Who would benefit and what
are the benefits? |
| A |
The major stakeholder beneficiaries
are the owners of power plant, national engineering
groups,
equipment and instrument manufacturers as well as service
providers. |
| The benefits are: |
- Owners of power plant would increase
their net profits by reducing gross heat rate and auxiliary
power consumption in a financially attractive manner
ensuring greater capacity and plant load factor.
- Introduction
of new technology and know-how in power plants through
level 1 and 2 activities.
- Increased
demand for better process control and energy efficient
technology in the thermal power
sector.
- All stakeholder benefit from improved
measuring techniques and comprehensive data gathering,
mitigating
risks of
financial and technical assessment.
|
|
| Q |
Who should participate? |
| A |
- Owners of thermal power plants larger than 20 MW
installed capacity
- Engineering firms
having sufficient previous expertise in level 1,
level 2, or level 3 activities. Adequate
financial backing as required, concerning level 2 services,
of operating a measuring bus.
- Power plant equipment
manufacturers and instrumentation suppliers.
|
|
| Q |
What are the responsibilities
and results? |
| A |
- Power plant managers would be required to improve
accuracy of data collection, and process monitoring as
well as share responsibilities concerning verification
and monitoring protocols
- Engineering
consultants and service providers should opt to sign
performance contracts with reimbursement
based on performance and impact instead of fixed professional
fees.
- BEE
is expected to enforce the provisions of the energy
conservation Act, 2001 for power plant managers.
The financial benefit to other stakeholders is
financial benefit to other stakeholders is through
improved
business climate for energy efficient technologies
and services.
