Run-of-river

Definitionshydrogeneration

power A method of power generation that uses water running in ariver or a waterway directly into power generation unit.

C. Summary of the methodology
ItemsGHGemissionSummary
reduction Displacement of grid electricity including national/regional andmeasuresisolated grids and/or captive electricity by installation with theoperation of hydro power generation system(s).

Calculationofreference Reference emissions are calculated on the basis of theemissions

electricity output of the hydro power generation system(s)multiplied by either; 1) conservative emission factor of the grid,or 2) conservative emission factor of the captive diesel power
generator based on the location of the projects.

Calculationofproject Project emissions are the emissions from the hydro poweremissions

generation system(s), which are assumed to be zero.

Monitoring parameters

The quantity of the electricity generated by the project hydropower generation system(s).

D. Eligibility criteria
This methodology is applicable to projects that satisfy all of the following criteria.
Criterion 1

Generation of electricity from the hydro power generation system(s)N/AF. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
The default emission factor is set in a conservative manner for the Indonesian regional grids.
The default emission factor is calculated based on the conservative operating margin thatreflects on the latest electricity mix including low cost/must run (LCMR) resources for eachregional grid in Indonesia during the year 2013-2015 and refers to the conservative emission
factor of each fossil fuel power plant in order to secure net emission reductions. The
conservative emission factor of each plant are calculated as 0.795 tCO2/MWh for coal-fired
power plant and 0.320 tCO2/MWh for gas-fired power plant based on the survey on heatefficiency of power plant in Indonesia. The emission factor for diesel power plant is calculated
as 0.533 tCO2/MWh based on a default heat efficiency of 49%, an efficiency level which isabove the value of the world’s leading diesel power generators.
In case the hydro power generation plant in a proposed project activity is directly connected orconnected via an internal grid not connecting to either an isolated grid or a captive power
generator, to a national/regional grid (Case 1), the value of operating margin including LCMR
resources, calculated using the best heat efficiency among currently operational plants inIndonesia for the emission factors of fossil fuel power plants, are applied. The emission factors
to be applied are set as “Emission factor for Case 1 (tCO2/MWh)” as shown in Section I. below.
In case the hydro power generation system(s) in a proposed project activity is connected to aninternal grid connecting to both a national/regional, and an isolated grid and/or a captive power
generator (Case 2), the lower values between emission factors of “Emission factor for Case 12

JCM_ID_AM019_ver01.0
Sectoral scope: 01(tCO2/MWh)” and the conservative emission factors of diesel-fired power plant of 0.533
tCO2/MWh is applied. The emission factors to be applied are set as “Emission factor for Case2 (tCO2/MWh)” as shown in Section I. below.
In the case that the hydro power generation system(s) in a proposed project activity is only
connected to an internal grid connecting to an isolated grid and/or a captive power generator(Case 3), the emission factor of a diesel generator calculated by applying a default heatefficiency of 49%, an efficiency level which is above the value of the world’s leading diesel
generator is applied, which is set as 0.533 tCO2/MWh.
The emission factors to be applied for each case are shown in Section I.
