Detailed Narrative Description of Project:
The project aims to reduce Losses in power distribution through improved efficiency of distribution transformers. The specific objectives of the project were: 1) To build the capacity of policymakers in understanding impacts of adopting IEC TS 60076-20 for their economies in terms of electricity distribution loss reductions and GHG emission reductions; and 2) To come up with key policy recommendations in consultation with key stakeholders, such as utilities, manufacturers, standard making bodies, etc. IIEC was tasked to provide: (1) an analysis of the technical of the differences and commonalities between the economy and utility standards for energy performance of distribution transformers and IEC 60076-20; and (2) an analysis of the impact of changing from the existing energy performance requirements or Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) in the selected APEC member economies to the energy performance levels as recommended by IEC 60076-20 in terms of energy savings.
