1 Energy Efficiency in Buildings & End-use Electric Technologies ~ Business Cases for Heat Pump Application and ESCOs ~ Hiroyuki Ino Executive Vice President Tokyo Electric Power Company Inc. Note: TEPCO service area covers the Tokyo Metropolitan area which accounts for one-third of Japan s total electricity consumption. TEPCO s annual electricity sales (297,397 GWh) are approximately equivalent to those of RWE or GDF-Suez. 0

2 1.TEPCO s Affiliate Companies for Renewable and Energy Efficiency Tokyo Electric Power Company Inc. Business area: Power supply (vertically integrated), heat supply Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation Assets: Owns and operating wind farms in Japan, South Korea, UK, Spain, Italy and USA. Total in operation is 1,819.25MW (726.24MW in Europe). Japan Facility Solutions,Inc. Business Area: ESCO, Operating energy center, Energy consulting, Construction management, Facility management, Provide electrified system solution 1

3 2. TEPCO s Approaches General Principles Lowering Carbon Intensity of Electricity Services Promotion of Energy Efficiency through RD&D of Innovative Technologies Thermal efficiency Average: 45.6% Latest Fleet: 59% (MACC) 45% (PC-USC) Common Goal Low Carbon Economies 2

4 3. MACC Power Generation System The latest MACC combined-cycle system in the 1,500ºC class has a thermal efficiency of about 59%, the highest in the world. Such systems were introduced to thermal power stations in Kawasaki in June 2007 and started operation in Futtsu in Steam turbine Gas turbine Generator 3

6 5. Successful R&D Projects End-use technologies listed below are highlighted in TEPCO s R&D strategy. Many successful cases of joint R&D with manufactures exist. Heat Pump & Thermal Storage for HVAC Eco-Cute ( Hot Water Supply Unit by CO2 refrigerant Heat Pump ) Induction Heating (IH) application for Cooking & Industrial Processes Electrified Factory Initiative IH cooking heater Cell NAS Battery Natrium Tube Sulfur Pole Steel Tube βalumina Tube Main Pole Battery Case Fuse Bottom Heater Cell Packing Sand Vacuum Insulation Containers Electric Vehicles & High-speed Battery Charger Module 5

7 6. TEPCO Electrification factory I2 (I square) TEPCO opened the TEPCO Electrification Factory I Square in 2007 November as a facility where people can actually experience the up-to-date heat pump technology and induction heating technology, which are applied at the actual production site. We expect that customers and manufacturing companies having innovative technology will use the square as a place to meet each other and as a forum to discover new needs. 6

8 7. High COP of Heat Pump Heat pump: An electrical device for space heating, hot water supply and refrigerator that takes ambient, water and ground heat from one location and transfers it to another. Efficiency Improvement of Room Air conditioner COP Trend of Top Runner Product (kwh) Annual Electricity Consumption (2.8kW Class) Higher Performance! Heating (5.5 months) Cooling (3.6 months) 692 Room AC:6.8 Centrifugal Chiller: % reduction in the past 10 years Eco-Cute: Year of the Product Model Fiscal year Cooling and heating AC, 2.8 kw cooling capacity, Average consumption Annual electricity consumption is calculated by the standard of Japan Refrigerator and AC Industry (JRA4046) Source: Association of Japan Refrigerator and AC Industry Source: TEPCO 7

9 8. Top-runner Program 1. Introduced in Currently covers 21 product categories including electric appliances & automobiles with target standards for energy efficiency, which are determined through technological assessment by independent experts. 3. Manufactures required to meet target standards by weighted average using shipment volume. 4. Provides incentives to develop more efficient products and keep higher levelline ups if manufactures wants to remain competitive in the market. 5. Provide comparable information to customers.

10 9. Innovative Application of Heat-pump Technology to Hot Water Supply Eco Cute (CO2 REFRIGERANT HEAT-PUMP WATER HEATER) Developed and introduced to the market in Japan in 2001, as the world s first commercial product. Designed to take advantage of CO2 as refrigerant: - Fit in the large temperature-gap surge (90 degrees Celsius without supplemental heating) Cumulative sales volume in Japan : 1.77 millions (as of 2009 March). Deployment target : 10 millions (by 2020) Compared with the conventional combustion-based water heaters, the heat-pump water heaters achieved: - ABOUT 30% SAVINGS IN PRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTION - ABOUT 50% SAVINGS IN CO2 9

11 10. Advantage of Eco Cute Eco Cute (Heat pump water heater) functions in a manner that it heats water in off-peak hours and storage it for the time of use. TOU (Time of Use) base electric rates help further deployment of heat pump water heater. The combination of the highly efficient heat pump system and relatively inexpensive electricity of the nighttime (off-peak) -rate can achieve superior running cost performance. 23:00 Tariff of Nighttime: Approx. 30% of daytime tariff Morning & Evening: Operating in off-peak hours 17:00 7:00 Daytime 10:00 Morning & Evening 10

12 11. Multifunctional Eco Cute Multifunctional Eco Cute can provide heat for floor-heating and bathheating other than hot water supply. Hot water from a hot water storage tank is circulated in a heat exchanger as heat source water.
