III. DESIGN BASIS - Q. Should the facility be designed as a back-pressure or condensing / extracting system? - A. As discussed in the evidence submitted by Synapse, there is no clear definition of CHP provided by NSDOE. We agree with Synap...

AI summary The discussion addresses the design of a facility as either a back-pressure or condensing/extracting system. Synapse's evidence is referenced, noting that sawmills are a reasonable basis for the tariff. A condensing/extracting system is favored due to the variability in steam load from dry kilns and the need for a system that can operate independently, despite higher capital costs.

AI summary The text discusses legislative and regulatory changes required for the creation of the Renewable Electricity Administrator and the implementation of feed-in tariffs. It highlights amendments to the Electricity Act, changes to the Renewable Energy Standard Regulations, and potential new policies for biomass energy emissions control.

8.1 Submissions [113] Synapse assumed a tariff of $452 per MWh for wind projects of 50 kW or less. This proposed tariff is based on a model project with a single 50 kW (0.05 MW) turbine. [114] Synapse assumed an installed cost of $268,000,...

AI summary Synapse assumed a $452 per MWh tariff for small wind projects (50 kW or less), based on data from developers, manufacturers, and industry associations. Installed costs were estimated at $268,000, with financing at 50:50 debt/equity and a 13% return on equity. A 23% capacity factor was assumed for these projects.

- 8. This could be otherwise be achieved through an all-technologies, all-renewable aggressive FIT procurement approach for Nova Scotia electricity supplies, versus the marginal success rate of the NSPI RFP process and limited scope of the...

AI summary The EAC recommends a shift to an aggressive FIT procurement approach for renewable energy in Nova Scotia, citing the limited success of the NSPI RFP process and COMFIT. It emphasizes the need for transmission and distribution reforms, and highlights the importance of political will and an enabling environment for policy success.

Delay of Biomass CHP is Not an Option - 2. The EAC has recommended that the Board delay 'the approval of a biomass CHP rate arguing there is "questionable carbon neutrality" and "unresolved provincial biomass policy issues". - 3. The ANSS...

AI summary The EAC has recommended delaying the approval of a biomass CHP rate due to concerns about carbon neutrality and unresolved provincial biomass policy issues. The ANSS argues that the EAC's submission reflects a lack of acceptance of provincial policy and the Renewable Energy Standards. The Board is mandated by the Electricity Act and Renewable Electricity Regulations to establish a biomass CHP tariff, and delay is not an option.

- We you spoke about, Ms. Shaw, and you used a term yesterday that, I must confess, was the first time I'd ever heard it, you called parasitic you were talking with Ms. Rubin about the estimates that you worked on in connection with the bi...

AI summary The discussion revolves around the term 'parasitic power' used in the context of a biomass facility, which is equated to 'station service.' The conversation explores the composition of station service costs in an oil-fired boiler facility, including components like water feed pumps and cooling water pumps, and estimates the percentage of output these costs represent.
