LEAST COST PLANNING:
“How much energy efficiency could we achieve if all the
potential end-use energy efficiency were achieved which is
economically competitive with conventional forms of
energy”--- Roger Sant W. -- The Energy Productivity Center
Four basic steps of Least Cost Planning(LCP)are:
Understand how energy is used (end-use energy)
Identify technical potential of high end-use efficiency
Evaluate the benefits and costs from societal perspective
Apply engineering & economic analysis
Introduced to persuade energy planners & policy makers that there
is sizeable potential to improve EUE with following considerations
•Customer & Utility Considerations
•Financial commitments involved
•Program Implementation
•Monitoring & Evaluation

WHAT IS DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT ?
“DSM is planning, implementation & monitoring of Utility
activities designed to influence consumer use of electricity in
ways that will produce desired changes in the magnitude
and pattern of load either directly caused or indirectly
stimulated by the utility.”
---Clark W. Gellings, Electric Power Research Institute
Broad purview of DSM
 will influence customer use
 must achieve selected objectives
 should be evaluated against non - DSM alternatives
 identify customers response
 evaluation process
How to achieve DSM?
• Load Management
• End Use efficiency Improvement
• Development & Promoting EET’s.

9.
EVALUATION OF DSM OPTIONS
 As seen from the above, various identified end use
efficiency,DSM measures, offering energy and demand
saving opportunities qualify to be assessed for supply side
impact, benefits and costs,(as cost of saved capacity and
cost of saved energy).The results relate to local utility
attributes and considerations .
 These are then compared with alternative, corresponding,
supply (utility) side costs of capacity addition and long
run marginal cost of generation.
 Only those options of DSM are shortlisted, which are
cheaper than supply side costs.
 To arrive at cost of saved capacity CSC,and cost of saved
energy, following relations, criteria can be adopted.

10.
RELATIONS AND CRITERIA…..
» Capital recovery factor (CRF)
= d × (1 + d)n
/ [(1 + d)n
- 1]
where d = utility discount rate & n = measure life
» Total DSM measure cost
= initial cost × [ 1 + (1/(1+d/100)m
) + (1/(1+d/100)2m
+
…...)
where d = utility discount rate & m = device life &
the series includes all terms where exponent is less than
the measure life
» Cost of saved capacity (CSC) Rs/kW or Rs/kVA=
(Total measure cost (Rs))
((Saved capacity kVA or kW × PCF) / (1-TDLF) (CUF))
» Cost of saved energy (CSE) Rs/kWh=
(Total measure cost (Rs) × CRF)
(Annual Energy Savings (kWh))

11.
…...RELATIONS AND CRITERIA
 T & D loss factor of local HT & EHT segment for measures
relates to HT or EHT segment end use = TDLF (HT)
 T & D loss factor of local LT segment for measures relates
to LT segment end use= TDLF (LT)
 Capacity utilization factor (CUF)is also PLF of the local
power plants.(A low CUF say in hydro power plants as
against base load thermal plants can influence measure
cost benefits)
 Peak Coincidence Factor (PCF), indicates proportion of
the end use equipment actually operational, during system
peak hours.
 Utility discount rate, is denoted here as, d.
 Each DSM measure cost is assessed for a measure life of 25
years, for parity with considered utility plant life in
account books, and equals the net present value of measure
cost for 25 years of measure life where m is number of
replacements within 25 years, and d is the discount rate.

12.
NEXT STEPS IN DSM PROCESS:
 Analyze and merit rate each of the choices, where the
cost of saved capacity & cost of saved energy of DSM
measure is less, as compared to cost of capacity
addition and long run marginal cost of
generation(being utility side SSM costs).
 Once all the DSM interventions are merit rated, the
logical next step is the development of Detailed
Project Reports and plans for implementation of
short listed DSM interventions, in a programmatic
manner, adopting a standard project management
cycle.

ILLUSTRATIVE CASE STUDY OF DSM OPTION EVALUATION…..
(APPLICATION OF LIGHTING VOLTAGE REGULATORS IN
MUNICIPAL WATER PUMP HOUSES)
 The Fluorescent tube manufacturers list the rated or nominal
wattage on any given tube as the objective wattage which the tube
should dissipate under prescribed conditions of operation.
 The actual wattage, invariably higher, however depends upon
factors such as supply voltage.
 A lighting voltage controller operates on the well known principle
that reduction in input power can be achieved by voltage
optimization without significant drop in light output.
 A typical device operates by bringing in, an impedance across the
lighting circuit, to control supply voltage and current.
 The lighting voltage controllers are modular in configuration and
can be used on lighting circuits and are applicable for Sodium
Vapor and Mercury vapor lamps as well.
 Based on end user feedback, Energy Savings of 10% and Demand
Savings of 15% are envisaged through application of the Lighting
Voltage controllers.

Peak coincidence factor = 1.0
Utility discount rate = 0.09
End User Electricity Cost = Rs.2.46/kWh

Total annual savings = Rs52768
 Investment for lighting controller (Rs.1800/KVA*Lighting system kVA Load)
= 50800
Simple Payback Period Years =
(Investment/Rupee value of annual electricity cost savings)
= less than 1 year
…END USER COST BENEFITS…..

16.
Cost of Capacity saved (CSC) in Rs/kW=
(Total Measure Cost (Rs.)) / ((kW Capacity Saved*PCF)/ (1-TDLF)(CUF))
= (71144) /((2.4 * 1)/ (1-.3132)( 0.725))
= Rs. 14760 / kW
Cost of Energy Saved (CSE) in Rs. /kWh=
(Total Measure Cost(Rs.)*(CRF)/(Annual Electricity Savings in kWh)
= (71144 * 0.102)/(18133)
= Rs. 0.40 / kWh
The end user simple payback period of less than 1.0 Year, alongside attractive utility side
costs of Rs. 14760 per kW saved capacity ,as against utility side cost of Rs 40,000 per kW of
capacity addition; and, Rs0.40/kWh cost of saved energy, as against Rs 2.00/kWh average
utility cost of supply, render the DSM measure a win-win option.
The state Utility / DISCOM could develop a DSM program for all municipal pump houses
in its coverage area and incentivize stakeholders suitably.
It may be appreciated that a well designed DSM program can address energy efficiency
improvement at macro level, considering all local factors.
 Analytics in an iterative manner, for sensitivity factors like peak coincidence factor,
TDLF,CUF, discount rate, can be attempted for customized, localized, program design for
various options.

CONCLUSIONS
 DSM is a viable, win-win cost effective alternative to SSM.
 There is a good case for DISCOMs to develop customized
DSM programs for end users like industry clusters,
agricultural pump sector, municipal water pumping, street
lighting, PSU townships, industrial estates, special
economic zones, commercial buildings etc., due to diffused
yet significant bulk nature of these end user entities and
energy efficiency margins.
 •DISCOMs may also consider developing customized DSM
programs, involving distribution upgrades, automation,
kVAh billing, static metering, TOD tariffs etc, to bridge
demand supply gaps efficiently, without revenue losses.
 Current crunch times at utilities call for load research
and comprehensive re-visit to various end use segments for
structured DSM program design and implementation,
which could be highly cost effective, as against supply side
capacity augmentation initiatives.
