## NYSERDA’sPeak Load Reduction Program & NY Independent System Operators Demand Response Programs  presented toNational Workshop on State Building Energy Codes July 21, 2004

## Agenda

- New York State Energy Research & Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) Peak Load Reduction Program
- New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) Demand Response Programs
- EDRP, ICAP/SCR, & DADRP
- Other related code issues

## Health, safety, and energy efficiency standards are the primary responsibilities of New York State code officials.  However, concern is high in the state, where a few hours during the summer,  electric reliability is a concern.

## NYSERDA offers an incentive program, the Peak Load Reduction Program, which deals with electric system capacity constraints.NYC is a load pocket area where capacity constraint is critical.

## NYSERDA Peak Load Reduction Program Enable customers to participate in Demand Response programs at the NYISO

## Peak Load Reduction Program

- Standard Offer/Open enrollment
- Performance based incentive ($/kW reduced)
- Intended to foster NYISO DRP markets
- Targeted to projects that can be rapidly implemented
- Incentives are capped at 70% of project cost

## There is greater funding in the downstate  area to address capacity constraints:

##   Peak Load Reduction ProgramSome measures that would qualify for funding include:- thermal ice storage- load shifting or curtailment- EMS systems- low sulfur diesel fuel- switchgear- interval meters

## Peak Load Reduction ProgramSince NYC is a non-attainment area, emergency generator initiative is of concern.NOx emission requirements are in place to address this issue.  

## Peak Load Reduction Generator Enhancement and Replacement Requirements

- New units emissions must not exceed:
- 18 lbs/MWh of NOx
- .70 lbs/MWh of PM10
- New units must emit less than 1⁄2 the NOx of the unit it’s displacing
- Eligibility limited to facilities in _Con-Edison_ service territory only and machines with NOx emissions less than _35 lbs/MWh_

## NYISO’s Demand Response Programs

- Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP)
- ICAP Special Case Resources Program (ICAP/SCR)
- Day-Ahead Demand Response Program (DADRP)
- Programs are aimed at wholesale electricity market participants and NYISO direct customers

## NYISO’s Demand Response Programs

**Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP)**
**Low Risk**
**Low/Moderate Return**

**Installed Capacity/Special Case Resources**
**Moderate/High Risk**
**Moderate/High Return**

**Day Ahead Demand Response Program (DADRP)**
**Moderate Risk**
**Moderate/High Return**

## Other Code Issues

##     Add to the ‘scope’ of the IECCFuture new construction codes can help                  to enable buildings for demand response. Coordinate with new construction by:- installing interval metering- designing new MEP to segregate                     	discretionary electric load 

## Addressing the Nat’l Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA) Energy Star raises the bar from NAECA.  EXAMPLE:  NYSERDA’s ‘Keep Cool’ was put in place in 2002 to incent customers when purchasing room a.c.’s.  It was phased out in 2004, the market transformed, and customers are now asking for Energy Star air conditioners even without an incentive.
