  1. Air Resources Board’s2005 Distributed Generation Technology Review DG Workgroup Meeting June 2, 2004 Air Resources Board California Environmental Protection Agency

  2. Overview • Senate Bill 1298 • DG Certification Program • DG Guidance Document • 2005 Technology Review Requirement • Next Steps

  3. Senate Bill 1298 • Purpose is for DG deployment to have minimal impact on air quality • Requires emission limits of smaller DG sources to ultimately meet central station power plant limits • Requires limits to reflect electricity and useful heat provided 3

  4. SB 1298 Requirements • After January 1, 2003, every DG unit in California either certified by ARB or permitted by district • Required ARB to develop certification program for exempt technologies • Required ARB to develop guidance document for permitted technologies 4

  5. Certification Program • Applies to manufacturers • Applies to new units sold after January 1, 2003 • Affects exempted sources • Microturbines (Less Than 300 kw) • Fuel cells 5

  6. Certification Program (Continued) • Equipment not affected • Emergency standby • Portable • Zero emission technologies

  7. 2003 Certification Emission Standards(lb/MW-hr) NOxVOCCO Without CHP 0.5 1.0 6.0 With CHP 0.7 1.0 6.0 7

  8. 2007 Certification Emission Standards (lb/MW-hr) • NOxVOCCO • 0.07 0.02 0.1 8

  9. What Has Been Certified? • 2003 Standards: Two Microturbines • 2007 Standards: Two Fuel Cells

  10. Guidance Document • Assist districts with permitting DG technologies subject to district jurisdiction • Create consistent permit conditions and BACT limits for permitted sources 10

  11. What Does the Guidance Address? • Applies to DG less than 50 MW • Recommended BACT limits for turbines and engines • Other recommendations for permit conditions 11

  12. 2005 Technology Review • Required in DG Certification Regulation • Findings must be reported to the Board by July 2005 12

  13. Technology Review Requirements • Timing of 2007 standard • CHP benefit • 15,000 hour durability requirement • Testing requirements

  14. Next Steps • Hold DG Workgroup meetings • Collect information from technology manufacturers • Collect information from technology users • Evaluate new information 14

  15. Timing • Hold bi-monthly workgroup meetings • Collect information by 1-1-05 • Evaluate information by 4-1-05 • Report to the Board July 2005 15

  16. Contact Information • Mike Waugh mwaugh@arb.ca.gov 916-445-6018 • Marcelle Surovik msurovik@arb.ca.gov 916-327-2951 16
