7 Overview > IEA Solar Heating and Cooling (IEA SHC) > SHC Roadmap > Solar Standards > Solar Cooling Standards 13 SHC Roadmap > The G8 asked the IEA to develop energy technology roadmaps for the key energy technologies needed to achieve long-term global energy and climate change goals > Energy Technology Perspectives 2008 (ETP) provided energy technology scenarios and strategies for halving energy sector CO 2 emissions from today s level by

8 Solar Heating and Cooling roadmap > The IEA has developed a series of technology roadmaps, with a number of renewable energy roadmaps - Wind energy, Concentrated Solar Power and PV - already available and Geothermal energy and Biofuels being finalized beginning > The IEA has defined its global technology roadmap as: a dynamic set of technical, policy, legal, financial, market and organisational requirements identified by the stakeholders involved in its development. The effort shall lead to improved and enhanced sharing and collaboration of all related technology-specific research, design, development and deployment (RDD&D) information among participants. The goal is to accelerate the overall RDD&D process in order to deliver an earlier uptake of the specific technology into the marketplace. 15 SHC Roadmap > IEA Secretariat - solar thermal energy will make a significant contribution in the growth of renewables portfolio > Addressing technology development and demonstration, legal and regulatory, and public policy issues a long term perspective in the worldwide development of solar thermal energy that is supported by all key stakeholders in this field 16

9 Project objectives - Solar Heating and Cooling roadmap > The overall aim of the project is to develop a Solar Heating and Cooling roadmap that includes a growth path for solar thermal energy technology from today to 2050 and identifies technology, financing, policy and public engagement milestones that need to be achieved to realise the technology s full potential > Partially paid by IEA Secretariat matched by stakeholders > Australian support from Clean Energy Council, Australian Solar Institute and CSIRO 17 The SHC Roadmap Process > IEA secretariat staff of the IEA Renewable Energy Division will perform the following activities, divided among five phases: > Phase I- Stakeholder identification and workshop 1 Paris : April 2011 > Phase II - First Draft developed by the IEA secretariat s Renewable Energy Division on the basis of the discussions at the first workshop. > Phase III Second (and Third?) workshop Kassel Sept. - ISES Solar 2011, and possibly Singapore or Australia Focus on the policy framework needed to meet 2050 deployment goals. > Phase IV Final Draft Review and comment by both internal and external on the draft. > Phase V - dissemination 18

12 Overview > IEA Solar Heating and Cooling (IEA SHC) > SHC Roadmap > Solar Standards > Solar Cooling Standards 23 New Solar Cooling Standard > Standards Australia require a proposal and a business case to support new standards > AIRAH on behalf of AusSCIG successfully proposed a new standard Solar thermal cooling systems Energy rating and testing for performance 24

13 New Solar Cooling Standard Goal > The goal of the proposed standard is to document a method for evaluating the electrical and thermal energy consumption of solar thermal cooling systems for the purposes of estimating the energy offset for calculation of RECs. Knowing the amount of carbon saved will then allow the correct amount of RECs to be allocated to solar cooling and airconditioning projects. > ORER and DCCEE? > White certificates eg VEET 25 New Solar Cooling Standard Goal > The specific objectives of the standard are: To provide a standardized procedure for comparing the performance of solar cooling products and determining their thermal performance and energy use. To provide a realistic estimate of the expected energy savings of a solar cooling product relative to conventional airconditioning products and to renewable electricity. To provide data which can be used to support claims for government rebate schemes; specifically for the calculation of RECs. To support the increase of the uptake of solar cooling technologies in Australia. 26

14 New Solar Cooling Standard Scope > The scope and application includes: residential and commercial scale solar airconditioning equipment and systems. These would include: Open cycle systems (liquid desiccant, solid desiccant), and Closed cycle systems (absorption cycle, adsorption cycle). A theoretical computer-based rating procedure (such as TRNSYS) standardized climate zones, sensible and latent cooling loads. component performance data from standards. solar collectors, storage tanks, desiccant dehumidifiers, absorption and adsorption chillers. 27 Solar Cooling Standard development > CS-028 will be re-constituted to develop the proposed Solar Cooling Standard Aiming for Kickoff meeting in May Project manager Eddie McGuire 28
