Suggested Treatment of CHP Within an EERS Context
Abstract
Reliable monitoring and measurement of the energy
savings resulting from the installation of combined
heat and power (CHP) systems and power recovered
from waste energy (recycled energy) projects is
becoming increasingly important. As a growing
number of states and now the federal government
look to mandatory energy efficiency portfolio
programs such as an Energy Efficiency Resource
Standard (EERS), CHP and waste heat recovery
stands to play a substantial role as an efficiency
resource. Estimating the energy savings resulting
from the installation of a CHP system is critical to
understanding and crediting the savings from CHP
and recycled energy in a fair and uniform way. This
paper proposes an approach to estimate CHP system
savings, accounting for the wide variety of CHP
systems available on the market today. It offers a
specific methodology to meet state- and federal-level
regulatory requirements emanating from an EERS. A
full explanation of the proposed approach is
provided.
