APEC Ref.
APEC Distribution Transformers Survey S EWG 15 12A
Sponsor
China
Co-Sponsors
Australia, New-Zealand, USA
APEC funding
101,500 USD
Self-funding
130,700 USD, including cash contribution of 61,000 USD from ICA (should go up to 140,000 USD)
Project Overseer
CNIS (China National Institute for Standardization)

3. Project Design Objective
Increase awareness among APEC economies about the energy savings and GHG emission reduction potential from an increased share of higher efficiency DTs, as well as to provide APEC economies with recommendations on how to increase the market share of higher efficiency DTs.
Activities
1) Data collection and survey (outsourced consultants)
Jan-Apr
2) Data analysis, quantitative evaluation of energy saving and emission reduction potentials, and identification of best practices
Apr-Jul
3) Recommendations – feedback from EGEEC
Jul-Aug
4) Develop strategic framework for the development of national roadmaps for the increase of MEPS
Aug-Oct
5) Dissemination workshop (EGEEC 2013)
Nov
6) Final report
Dec

4. Research Structure
CNIS: Project LBNL (Overseer; coordinator for activities in China
ICA: partner, coordination of international work outside of China
ICA is engaging LBNL (Self-funded) to conduct the following:
Modeling and analysis
Preparation of reports per economy
1 consulting company to be hired for data collection and analysis for CHINA
1 consulting company to be hired to collect data and conduct stakeholders survey for economies other than China
ICA will coordinate the work of all consultants to ensure coherence, consistency
ICA will make liaison between consultants and LBNL

5. Project Status Project started Work plan fine-tuned
RFP for hiring of 2 consultants published on APEC we site
Consultants expected to start work mid-Dec
LBNL being hired by ICA

6. Cooperation from EGEEC
Cooperation from EGEEC members is expected to provide data, information, documents, and contacts within economy’s industry to the consultants for the survey:
To be surveyed: manufacturers of distribution transformers; users of distribution transformers (utilities, energy-intensive industries) through industry associations
The objective of this web-based survey is to identify enablers and barriers to the introduction or raising of mandatory minimum energy performance standards in the respective economy: the survey will be designed by the consultant
To facilitate communications, each EGEEC representative should nominate a contact person for this project.
