I see value in this exercise regardless of how it is reported.

I would like to see these calculations be done at both the 50% average load and at 35% average load to

give an idea of the sensitivity of the loading factor.

Dear Robert:

You are correct that there is a definite KW

‐ HR savings that can be quantified in dollars, when higher

efficiency equipment is bought.

When considering an investment, for which an expected $ savings will occur, most privately held

commercial and industrial companies feel they must obtain a payback within 3

‐ 5 years. Shou ld we not

see this financial attribute, the payback period

, be calculated with each of the design alternatives

referenced to the CSL

‐ 0 designs, particularly in the non

‐ utility markets served by the LV and MV dry

‐ type

manufacturers? The payback calculation is very simple: You just divide your 

### (incremental delivered

transformer cost) by (the annual KW-HR savings). No present worth, LCC, discount rates or Crystal

Balls are needed.

Thanks,Bob Smith, PE

### I'd like to reconsider my response to John Cymb alsky, at the end of the LV meeting, regarding

showing the cost per kWh saved (based on the in cremental delivered transformer cost and the

incremental energy savings, compared to dEL0). I believe John is correct and the cost per kWh

SHOULD be shown for each dEL/TSL/CSL for the li fe of the transformer. This is simply the

ratio of the 30 year stream of annual kWh savings (discounted at 3% and 7%) to the incremental

delivered transformer cost. Showing this in al l groups will provide a common comparison for all

transformers as well as the a common reference for other energy savings programs in DOE's

portfolios as well as the efficiency portfolios of the other participants.

### I, of course, remain supportive of Tom Panzer's recommendation for a TSL basis, also discussed

at that meeting.

Robert A. Berman, Principal
