Latvia has experienced, caused by general transition processes, a remarkable economic decline between 1991 and 1995. The decline of industry and agriculture has led to a situation where the installed heat generation and transmission capacities in Municipality of Adazi Adazi were much bigger than necessary and therefore were operating below the designed efficiency. Besides, the heat production installations were too obsolete to be eligible for future use. Therefore the Municipality of Adazi has decided to outsource the heat production. In 1997 the Council of Adazi has entered into a “Heat Energy Supply” agreement with the company Essent Baltic. This agreement has set terms and conditions under which Essent Baltic has to operate and maintain the production of heat energy and electricity, further terms and conditions for heat energy supply and purchase. An agreement for a time 15 years was signed. 1.2 Project description The Adazi’s has been installed a small-scale cogeneration system, which has been located in a building in parallel to two hot water boilers. By means of a heat exchanger the heat is transferred into the district-heating network. The maximum thermal power capacity is 3.6 MW. The co-generator produces electrical power with a maximum of 360 kW. This electricity is delivered to the national grid of Latvenergo.[4] The co-generator is designed for ease access and maintenance. It consists of the following parts: • Gas engine. The gas engine complies with the standards emission of NOx less than 140g/Gj. • Generator: a brushless three phase generator supplied with a cos-phi controller current transformer in the terminal cabinet. • Two boilers, with a capacity of 1725 kW each. In figure 1.1 is provided a flow chart of the plant 4 View of the plant Best practices examples from Latvia OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP Natural gas Boiler Natural gas Boiler Heat exchangers Natural gas Engine Heat consumers Figure 1.1 - flow chart of the plant The system produces heat for the district heating network of Adazi. The produced electricity is delivered to Latvenergo. In case the circulation pumps of the heating network fail due to a black out, the co-generator will supply electricity to them. The system is monitored by a telemetry system, which uses a dedicate telephone line. Following the agreement, Essent Baltic has delivered around 12000 MWh per each heating season and figures between 800 and 1000MWh of electrical power per year. The graphic of heat and electric delivered from the cogeneration system, since the new plant is in operation is given in figure 1.2. The year 1997 has lower values because the plant has started to operate from November only.

This difference occurs since district heating gives the possibility to distribute heat derived from the CHP plant. Dual use of energy supplied reduces the demand of fossil fuels for heating buildings, industrial processes, and electricity generation. District heating can be seen as a second hand business within the energy sector. The avoided emission provided by the SSCHP project in Adazi are shown in figure 1.3 tCO2/year 1000 750 500 250 0 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Avoided Emissions of CO2 Figure 1.3 - Adazi – Avoided emission of CO2 Then, the estimated emission reduction from the baseline scenario of the whole project of Adazi are recorded in table 1.1 below.

The first part is an internalization of environmental costs will benefit the global climate on the long term. The second benefit is related to the guaranteed supply of energy with a high quality at reasonable costs, because of the better performance (less energy losses) of modern technology. The introduction of the SSCHP in Adazi has benefited the consumer’ expenses, whereas the prime cost upon both hot water and electricity furniture are decreased. The project in Adazi benefits the economy of Latvia by direct investments and clean technology transfer. The direct investments have reduced the need for public funds, which can therefore be used by the Latvian government for other public needs. The obtained experience has shown that way of development to invest in modern cogeneration equipment in order to improve energy efficiency is perspective and feasible for energy users in Latvia The introduction, of new and efficient technologies as the SSCHP plant in Adazi, represents a wave of innovation for Latvia and an aperture towards to sustainable energy use; therefore these projects have the effect of transferring knowledge and technology in Latvia, related to introduction of modern energy production systems 7 Best practices examples from Latvia 2 OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP Use of small scale cogeneration in DH system – Lielvarde 2.1 Background Lievarde is a municipality located around 50 km southward from Riga. Like in Adazi as well as in Lielvarde the heating system was inappropriate to supply the municipality both technically and economically. During a long time period the heat energy in Lielvarde was produced in the typical for former economical situation way: large size boiler house with steam boilers (capacity about 20 MW) fired by heavy fuel oil. After the fast decrease of Municipality of Lielvarde energy demand due to collapsed industry in the city, the boiler house was replaced by new, where light fuel oil fired boilers were installed. Unfortunately, after two years of functioning boilers were not eligible for future use. Therefore the Municipality of Lielvarde came to decision to install more reliable and effective heat generation system Consequently, production and delivers of heat energy were assigned to Edon company with a similar contract as was in Adazi. 2.2 Project description The Lievarde SSCHP system is located in two mobile containers placed in an open air and consists of gas engine co-generator to cover main heat load and two gas hot boilers to cower minimal and maximal heat loads. Using heat exchanger the heat is transferred to the district- heating network. The thermal output is 1.6 MW. The co-generator produces electrical power with a maximum output of Outside view of the plant 170 kW. This electricity is delivered to the grid of Latvenergo. The thermal capacity of the co-generator is 270kW. The co-generator Zantec 165 is constructed in modular units on a special frame designed for an ease access and maintenance. It consists of the following parts: • Gas engine type MAN. • Generator: Brushless Stamford three phase generators • Two Paromat duplex boilers, with a capacity of 740 kW each. In figure 2.1 are shown both the thermal and electrical energy power production since November 1997, when the new plant has come in operation. 8 Best practices examples from Latvia OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP MWh/year 1500 1000 500 0 1997 1998 1999 MWh thermal 2000 2001 2002 MWh electricity Figure 2.1 - Lielvarde, energy delivered by cogeneration system 2.3 Quantitative indicators of success The avoided emissions provided by the SSCHP project in Lielvarde are shown in figure 2.2. tCO2/year 750 500 250 0 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Avoided emissions of CO2 Figure 2.2 - Lielvarde – Avoided emission of CO2 In order to give an idea of the investment made, in table 3 are proposed the main economical data.

The first part is an internalization of environmental costs will benefit the global climate on the long term. The second benefit is related to the guaranteed supply of energy with a high quality at reasonable costs, because of the better performance (less energy losses) of modern technology.

The market for the greenhouse products in Latvia is developing fast and requires an extension of capacity and possibilities in relation to cleaner production and reduced energy consumption. Looking forward to increase capacity, reduce production costs and to meet EU requirements for greenhouse production, the company “Carnikava Darznieks” Ltd. Rose grown in Cernikava’ greenhouse decided to improve its production by introducing small and high efficient cogeneration technology for energy production, lighting, CO2 and fertilization with minerals. 3.2 Project description The project has been implemented by the Dutch company: Essent Sustainable Energy, in co-operation with consultative partners in greenhouse technologies – Larive International, DLV and Essent Baltic, Latvijas Darznieks, VidesProjekti and Intra-J. The project consisted of the following parts: Installation of greenhouse technology: • CO2 supply and fertilization system (minerals); • lighting and greenhouse climate control systems. Installation of efficient energy technology: • engine; • water boiler; • heat storage tanks (capacity View of the cogeneration system 280m2). The following characteristics of the selected greenhouse technologies have been taken into account: • Energy efficient greenhouse technologies with ability to operate on economically and environmentally reliable base; • Not harmful working condition or dangers for the GH operators; • Cleaner production in greenhouse technology development; The proposed technologies includes as well as weather depending heat control unit and high efficient greenhouse roof, which has never been used before in Latvia. The capacity of the co-generation system is 480kW heat and 312kW electricity. The generated heat energy is used to maintain the needed temperature in greenhouse, or to heat the water in the accumulator, for later use during nighttime. The electricity produced is used for artificial lighting and other utilities (pumps, ventilation etc…) 11 Best practices examples from Latvia OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP and the surplus is sold to the national grid. The supplier of the co-generation system has been ABB (Netherlands).

The high efficiency of the cogeneration system has been one of the main driving factors to achieve these results. In table 3.2 are shown the main estimated benefits in figures. Table3.2 - main benefits of the project Reduced heat consumption Reduced electricity consumption Reduced natural gas consumption Reduced CO2 emissions Reduced sodium phosphate consumption Reduced plant fertilizer consumption Reduced water consumption 3 520 MWh/year 675 000 kWh/year 608 450 m3 /year 1 680 tons/year 16 000 kg/year 6 000 kg/year 8 400 m3/year The total project costs has been of around 850 000 Euro with an estimated payback period of 3 years. The company “Carnikava Darznieks” has received support from SENTER PSO+, the Dutch governmental agency program, in 2001, with a grant of 453 540 Euro for the implementation of the project, requesting an equity of approximately 190 000 Euro. The PSO+ Intervention focused on the greenhouse technologies training and consultancies, while “Carnikavas Darznieks” invested in the part of greenhouse technologies. For getting the additional budget beside to the own equity, “Carnikavas Darznieks” received a loan from NEFCO as Cleaner production project. 3.4 Qualitative indicators of success Thanks to the implementation of this project has been possible to achieve the following main outputs: improved production capacity and quality; increased production efficiency – production costs reduced by 60% per unit; in particular due to the use of a small scale cogeneration system. increased energy efficiency; improved working conditions; improved environmental performance (as shown in table 3.2) dissemination of information about possibilities to implement similar projects in Latvia. 13 Best practices examples from Latvia 4 OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP Use of small scale cogeneration in DH system – Ozolnieki 4.1 Background Ozolnieki – with little bit more than 3000 inhabitants – is a small municipality of Latvia, located around 38 km south of Riga and only 8 km from Jelgava. In the municipality the company named “Ozolnieku KSDU” ensures the main municipal services, like: water supply, wastewater treatment, and generation, distribution of thermal energy. The district heating system of Municipality of Ozolnieki Ozolnieki had a boiler house, where were installed two boilers (RK – 1,6 MW) with prefurnace for wood combustion and two boilers (RK – 1,6 MW) using heavy fuel oil. Sawdust, wood chips and wood waste were used as fuel for boilers. Several sawmills and wood processing companies around Ozolnieki guaranteed the supply of these wood based fuels. But time-by-time the companies started to use more and more their wood residues and sawdust for their own use and the supply to Ozolnieki was not assured anymore. In addition to this problem, there was as well as a problem of storage – in fact in the area close to the boiler house only a small storage was available, the rest of the needed wood fuels was stored in two rented sheds and transported each day to the boiler house – sensibly increasing the transport and handling costs. Based on this situation, and with the support of the Council of the municipality, KSDU decided to connect Ozolnieki to the natural gas grid – with an branch of 7km to the main gas pipeline, supplying Jelgava. Then, in order to assurance a sufficient gas consumption to the gas utility “Latvijas G8ze”, which financed the connection, and in order to increase the overall efficiency of the system, KSDU decided to install a small scale cogeneration plant. The first business plan was prepared on May 2001 and the plant was commissioned at the beginning of 2002. The main aim of this project was to increase energy efficiency in power production by using a cogeneration system. For project implementation several barriers needed to be overcome – in particular the price policy in Latvia, interconnection problems with the transmission system operator (Latvenergo) and then the very small experience in similar projects in Latvia. Ozolnieki has been the first municipality in Latvia, which has self-decided to install a small scale CHP plant. The heat generated in the SSCHP is supplying 17 dwelling houses (512 flats), municipal buildings, kindergarten, sport club, commercial buildings and one small 14 Best practices examples from Latvia OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP private house. The total heating area is around 25 000 m² for residential buildings and around 15 000 m² for companies and institutions. During all year the DH customers are supplied with hot water. 4.2 Project description The project owner is “KSDU”. The main contractor of the project has been “Tedom” – a supply company of cogeneration units from Czech Republic. In figure 4.1 below is provided a top view of the boiler house, with inside the SSCHP and hot water boilers. Two wood boilers Out of service Boiler house Cogeneration unit Gas boilers Future cogeneration unit Additional diesel boiler Figure 4.1 - View of boiler house The cogeneration unit includes 2 reciprocal natural gas engines connected to two generators with 150 kW electrical outputs each. Thermal output is 2 x 226 kW. Electrical efficiency of the cogeneration plant is 34,8 %, thermal efficiency is 52,6 %; global efficiency is 87,4 %. Interconnection voltage is 0,4 kV. Transformer type is synchronous generator and grounding type is stationar grounding. Noise level is 10,89 dB. In the boiler house there is the space for to install an additional cogeneration unit, which is plan as possible future project. 15 Best practices examples from Latvia OPET CHP: Small and Micro Scale CHP The financing of the project has included a loan from “Veirensbank” of around 90 000 LVL with interest rate around 5 %, and 6 years terms and overdue payment to Tedom of 60 000 Euro with 2 years term at 0% interest rate. Total project costs have been around 200 000 Euro. The return of the investment is estimated in 6 to 7 years. View of two gas engines of the cogeneration unit Electricity is sold to Latvenergo (TSO) at 0,0454 EUR/kWh, while heat is sold at 31,3 EUR/MWh. 4.3 Qualitative indicators of success Air quality in the municipality of Ozolnieki has improved. The income from the sales of electricity is enough to pay natural gas consumption for the whole district heating system. This project scientifically improved the efficiency of the existing system for heat generation. Following the price for heat energy in Ozolnieki has decreased with social benefits for the inhabitants. This project can be seen as a step ahead to dispersed energy solutions in Latvia. 16
