GIZ, Regional Department MENA Project Manager AWUA WANT

3rd Arab Water Week, January 2015, Jordan

Energy Efficiency: ACWUA Guidelines for energy checks and analysis Session organized by the ACWUA Energy Efficiency - Task Force

ACWUA Guidelines for Energy Checks and Energy Analysis

The process of capacity development for energy efficiency

Arab Water Week 2015 ACWUA WANT Presentation

The ACWUA Task Force: Energy Efficiency (EE) has 15 permanent members from 10 ACWUA utilities. The chairperson elect is from ONEE, Morocco

Actors: • ACWUA Secretariat • ACWUA members

ACWUA TF:EE Terms of Reference + Plan of Operation Goal: Instruments to enhance energy

performance (efficiency, use, consumption) at utility level are developed and promoted amongst ACWUA members

Formats


Formats: Seminars, Workshops, Training, TOT, Shared

workspace (web), Conferences, Fairs, Advise, Twinning

The process of capacity development for energy efficiency (2)

Activities and Achievements by Dec 2015 (as planned)


ACWUA WANT assists the ACWUA secretariat and the ACWUA tasks force to develop regional guidelines on energy checks + energy analysis (EC/EA) to train EC and EA experts in the region to test the guidelines in pilot utilities to promote their application in the MENA region to increase knowledge & share experience in Energy Management Systems , Audits

amongst ACWUA members

Regional Guidelines: Energy Checks and Energy Analysis Good Practice Reader on

Energy Efficiency in the MENA region

Guidelines on Energy Management Systems (EnMS ISO) shared amongst ACWUA

ACWUA WANT Outputs

Guiding the process of systematic checks

Cover all stages of WS/WWD

Providing indicators

Scope of the Guidelines for EC/EA


Stepwise & iterative approach

Start with rough a energy check

Developing the energy balance

Start with 1st action of high priority (impacts, financial implications)

Establish a monitoring system and energy team

Implementing procedures and regulatory context are different in each country and each utility

General approach for an examination of the energy situation


No. action energy saving

potential electricity

energy saving potential

heat

investment cost

cost/benefit factors prioritisation

operating actions O01 backwash time of the filtration 11.000 kWh/a 0 kWh/a $1.000,00 0,05 direct action O02 optimize exhaust air treatment 5.000 kWh/a 0 kWh/a $2.000,00 0,23 short-term action O03 LED-Lighting 3.000 kWh/a 0 kWh/a $9.000,00 1,76 long-term action O04 ventilation with frequency drive 2.000 kWh/a 0 kWh/a $2.000,00 0,59 short-term action

E-Check: 1st estimation with few indicators to discover hot-spots for actions (energy mapping) and yearly trends

E-analysis: evaluation of the enegery performance in detail; considers processes, management areas; takes up gaps

E-Audit: follows national or international norms (ISO, EN) as a systematic inspection of a site, system, organisation

Energy Management System (EnMS) : system to monitor, control, optimize energy performance

The stepwise approach to improve energy efficiency


E-checks, E-analysis or EnMS are:

multi-disciplinary tasks: electrical-, mechanical engineers, designers, planners, etc. (specialists)

Across the tasks of several departments or units in a utility (organisation)

Involves top management and financial departments/ investment (decision-making)

Need to assign internal staff

Requires external expertise and auditors

Required expertise // internal + external experts


Challenges - Solutions


Challenges Possible solutions

Lack of expertise Capacity building program (training of staff) Run a pilot on a small scale

Lack of awareness and commitment of management and staff

Involvement and back-up by top-management

Assign resources (budget, personnel) to energy team

Nominate an energy management officer

Data availability

Start and improve little by little Use pilot data for restricted time span as 1st step

Establish data collection procedures for high priority indicators

Data accuracy and reliability Start and improve little by little Introduction of accuracy and reliability bands for indicators

Lack of financial resources Preparation of cost–benefit analyses

Prioritisation of measures according to highest return on investment

1. Administrative preparation

2. Study parameters

3. Data collection

4. Data validation

5. Facility inspection

6. KPI

7. Energy mapping

8. Energy balance

9. Defining priority actions

For each step, guiding questions are formulated to guide the process

Operation Plan for Energy Checks


1. TOR by the Energy Efficiency Task force of ACWUA

2. Guidelines draft 1 (by a Germany consultant)

3. Peer reviews with the EE-TF and German experts = Draft 2, November 2014

4. Test of Guidelines in pilot utilities = ONEE, SONEDE, ONAS?, HCWW?

5. Amendments of Guidelines

6. Peer review = with ACWUA Task Force EE; with experts from Germany

7. Final draft Guidelines in September 2015

8. Handing over to ACWUA for approval by BoD

The future of the ACWUA Guidelines for EC/EA
