Yuetan Street Beijing 100824 People's Republic of China Phone: 8610-6850-1603 Fax: 8610-6850-2074 E-mail: wangj@ndrc.gov.cn Distributed Energy Combined Cooling, Heat and Power Tri-generation Model Projects The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms that are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop a feasibility study for to implement a Natural Gas Tri-Generation Model Projects feasibility study (FS) for the National Energy Administration (NEA). The FS will include a technical, economic, and financial assessment of implementing distributed energy combined cooling, heat and power tri-generation (also known as distributed energy combined heat and power (DE-CCHP)) technology in two Model facilities. China is implementing a much larger National Distributed Energy Combined Cooling, Heat and Power Tri-generation Model Projects Program conducted by the National Energy Administration (NEA).The main purpose is to use DE-CCHP to replace existing partial conventional energy. The U.S.-China Energy Cooperation Program (ECP) will participate in DE-CCHP Project. The Project will be funded by USTDA and two model projects will be examined in the study. Project Description China faces enormous challenges as it strives to meet the energy needs of its growing economy. Increasing the energy efficiency of both power and heat generation lies foremost amongst these challenges. Utilization of distributed energy and combined cooling, heat and power tri-generation (DE-CCHP) represents a highly efficient technology solution to help meet China's energy and environmental goals. On average, DE-CCHP systems, which use waste heat from electricity generation for heating, humidity control, air conditioning and a range of thermal energy needs, are more efficient than conventional power generation systems. China is planning investments in DE-CCHP technology on an impressive scale. Under China's CHP Development Planning and 2020 Development Goal, the total installed capacity of DE-CCHP in China will reach 200 GW by 2020. This represents a significant increase in capacity from the Ministry of Power's most recent estimate of CHP capacity in 2005. By the year 2020, China expects new DE-CCHP installations to generate energy savings of 30 million tons of coal equivalent (tce), 13 million tons of CO2, and 0.6 million tons of SO2 reduced annually, compared to the separate production of heat and power. China's plans to dramatically increase its DE-CCHP capacity represent opportunities for U.S. companies who are industry leaders in DE-CCHP. Many of the most recent and highly technical DE-CCHP solutions are not yet available in China. U.S. company interests in pursuing the resulting demand for DE-CCHP technologies and services have been demonstrated in part through the formation of the ECP's Distributed Energy and Combined Heat and Power Working Group and its member companies' active pursuit of DE-CCHP opportunities in China. The ECP DE-CCHP working group represents a range of U.S. companies, including General Electric, Caterpillar, United Technologies, Capstone, AECOM and others. In consultation with the Decentralized Power Generation and Combined Cooling, Heat and Power Working Group of the ECP, the U.S. feasibility study is to provide NEA and the relevant facilities with technical assessments and recommendations. It will involve market and economic conditions. Each Model project will produce between 0.5 and 50 MW of electric power from a single unit. The two model projects, one commercial and one industrial application funded by USTDA, will be examined in the study. The commercial project will most likely be a hotel, or large retail store, and is estimated to require 2 MW of power costing around $5 million. The industrial project will be much larger in size, and require around 40 MW of power, costing around $45 million. The U.S. technologies are optional scheme of the model projects, and would be for applications and at facilities selected in cooperation with the DE-CCHP working group. This feasibility study is to provide NEA and the selected facilities with technical assessments and recommendations for site system setup and alignment with the existent grid infrastructure. Analysis of the selected sites, relevant regulatory policies, and market and economic conditions would also be performed. The results of the study will be used to analyses the further and more rapid development obstacles of DE-CCHP in China, suggest strategies, and implement the model projects in alignment with NEA's goals. DE-CCHP will allow China to produce power and thermal energy more reliably by reducing dependence on central coal-fired power plants. DE-CCHP also provides China with significant opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial, commercial, and institutional energy consumers. In addition, DE-CCHP will facilitate energy diversification by utilizing China's increased access to natural gas and vast renewable resources, and exploiting waste heat and waste gas opportunities from heavy industries. Finally, DE-CCHP will offer a practical approach to improving China's district heating infrastructure by providing an energy efficient heat supply. About the Grantee: The National Energy Administration (NEA) of China is the government agency responsible for formulating and implementing energy development plans and industrial policies; promoting institutional reform in the energy sector; administering sectors including coal, oil, natural gas, power, new and renewable energy; guiding scientific and technological advancement; organizing and carrying out the research of important equipment and guiding the assimilation of imported equipment; organizing and coordinating key energy-related Model projects and promoting the deployment of new products, technologies and equipments, as well as other energy-related responsibilities. The NEA reports to the National Development and Reform Commission. About the Required Subcontractor China's National Energy Administration (NEA) selected Beijing Huajian Power Design and Research Institute (BHJ), based in Beijing, China, to act as a subcontractor under Task 2 of this project. BHJ is a wholly owned subsidiary of the State Power Economic Research Institute, a think-tank under the electricity research and engineering design advisory body of the State Grid Corporation of China. BHJ has provided technical support to the Chinese government for key national DE-CCHP studies since 2004 that have generated policy recommendations for China's energy regulatory bodies, and is currently conducting research on distributed energy development for NEA.
