16ProjectL&T was interested in deploying microgrids at its facilities in Chennai and Kanchipuram,which combined had 6,000 hours in power outages last year, as pilot projects with thepossibility of expanding microgrid deployment to other sites. L&T engaged KEMA to explorewhat factors would make the business case for deploying these microgrids viable. KEMAworked with L&T to identify what factors would enable a viable business case. Using thisinformation, KEMA customized its cost-benefit analysis model to L&T’s specific businessneeds and considered various deployment scenarios. KEMA considered how factors such asIndia’s young renewable energy credit (REC) market, solar panel subsidies and otherdiscounts, and energy tariffs, as well as equipment mix would affect L&T’s overall businesscase. We also studied L&T’s investments and cash flow for a 30-year period to determine theviability of microgrid deployment over the long term. KEMA also developed a Microsoft®Excel-based model that enables users to vary the set of inputs, including current discountrates; REC values; buyer rebates; energy tariffs; and fuel, capital, and outage costs, to seethe effects on the cost-benefit ratio for each set of variables.ObjectivesMicrogrid deployment is a relatively new technology concept in the power industry. There arevery few live commercial microgrid sites in the world, and there are some risks. Thetechnology is not fully tested in India, so L&T needed to understand the key cost-benefitfactors of deploying microgrids to justify the initial investment.BenefitsKEMA’s analysis determined that microgrid deployment is a viable proposition for L&T. Theviability of its business case will enable L&T to not only expand its own microgrid operationsbut also to showcase its microgrid as a demonstration project for customers interested inbuilding microgrids using L&T’s construction services. By building its own microgrid, L&T willachieve significant energy savings and lessen its reliance on grid power.Clientn Larsen & Toubro, IndiaProject coordinatorn KEMA, United StatesProject Detailsn Duration: September 2011 – November 2011
17Open public extendednetwork meteringOPEN MeterProjectThe OPEN Meter project is strongly aligned with the smart metering standardization mandategiven by the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations, CEN,CENELEC and ETSI. The project aims to remove a perceived barrier to the wide-scaleadoption of smart metering in Europe, by ensuring that the requirements for smart meteringcan be met by products and systems that are based on open, international standards toensure interoperability and that are accepted and supported by the widest possible circle ofstakeholders.ObjectivesThe main objective of the OPEN Meter project is to specify a comprehensive set of open andpublic standards for AMI, supporting electricity, gas, water and heat metering. This set ofstandards will be based on the agreement of all relevant stakeholders in this area, and take
