PROJECT MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION Sample Clauses

The Project Measurement and Verification clause establishes the procedures and standards for assessing the performance and outcomes of a project, typically in terms of energy savings or efficiency improvements. It outlines how data will be collected, which metrics will be used, and the frequency of reporting, often requiring the use of industry-accepted protocols or third-party verification. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear, objective basis for evaluating whether project goals have been met, thereby reducing disputes and providing accountability for results.
PROJECT MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION. The goal of this task is to conduct independent third-party measurement and verification (M&V) to measure and quantify project benefits. • Consult with the CAM to identify and confirm the specific project benefits to be measured. At a minimum this will include pre- and post-project energy use (kilowatt hours, kilowatts, therms), calculations of energy cost savings and greenhouse gas emissions, energy saving goals/objectives from Section I.C. and performance metrics from Subtask 1.12. When directed by the CAM, this can include pre and post measurements of water use (million gallons) and other project benefits, and calculations of the resulting cost savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions. • Enter into agreement with M&V vendor per Task 1.9 • Coordinate site visits with the M&V firm at the demonstration site(s) identified. • Develop M&V Plan for pre-install measurement of: o Host site influent and effluent water quality (COD, BOD, TSS, Volatile Suspended Solids (VSS), Turbidity) at the following locations: ⬥ Primary influent ⬥ Primary effluent ⬥ Secondary effluent o Project host-site power consumption and production o Project host-site chemicals use o Project host-site Operation and Maintenance costs • Perform pre-install measurements based on the M&V Plan for pre-install • Develop M&V Plan for post-install measurement of: o Demonstration system influent and effluent water quality (COD, BOD, TSS, VSS, Turbidity) at the following locations: ▪ Primary influent ▪ Primary effluent ▪ Secondary effluent o Demonstration system power consumption o Demonstration system chemicals use o Demonstration system Operation and Maintenance costs • Perform post-install measurements based on M&V Plan for post-install • Prepare M&V Findings Report for the demonstration site that includes M&V Plan, pre and post install measurements, analysis, results performed in this task as agreed with the CAM and whether the goals/objectives in Section II.C and performance metrics in Subtask 1.12 were achieved.. • M&V Findings Report

PROJECT MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION. The goal of this subtask is to develop a detailed Measurement and Verification Plan for the selected pilot deployment site(s). PT+ performance metrics, such as power output, CHP thermal output, and capacity factor will be assessed at the pilot deployment site, along with system reliability metrics, such as component failures and operator intervention. Feedstock metrics will also be measured and analyzed, including PT+ performance with different feedstock sizes and grades; feedstock consumption and waste processing rates; biochar production; and electrical, thermal, and total system efficiencies. Emissions monitoring for criteria pollutants will be undertaken to ensure conformance with California air quality standards and a GHG lifecycle analysis will be conducted. Finally, project costs will be aggregated with performance metrics to determine the capital and operating expenses and LCOE of the PT+. Fuel source will be “byproducts of sustainable forest management activities” as defined by the CPUC SB 1122 BioMAT program.4 4 See CPUC D14-12-081 - Decision Implementing Senate Bill 1122, Section 2.2.3 Bioenergy Using Byproducts of Sustainable Forest Management and Appendix B SB 1122 Forest Biomass – Forest Biomass Sustainability Byproduct Eligibility Form: Instructions and Worksheet. ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M143/K960/143960061.pdf ● Develop a detailed Measurement and Verification Plan for each site to include but not be limited to: ● A description of the monitoring equipment and instrumentation which will be used at each site. ● A description of the key input parameters and output metrics which will be measured (including, but not limited to those described above): PT+ performance metrics, such as power output, CHP thermal output, and capacity factor will be assessed at the site, along with system reliability metrics, such as component failures and operator intervention.
