E) Calculation of the contribution of activities implemented jointly projects that bring about real,
measurable and long-term environmental benefits related to the mitigation of climate change that would not
have occurred in the absence of such activities
E.1) Estimated emissions without the activity (project baseline):
Description of the baseline or reference scenario, including methodologies applied:
As reference scenario the fuel consumption and associated emissions have been determined by modelling the
operation of RENEL power and heat generating system for the assumption that the subject power plants will
not be modified as part of this or other projects.
Special attention has been given to the hour-by-hour behaviour of the generating system, allowing physical
constraints such as minimum operating levels, ramping capability and the relationship between the heat and
the electricity production to be taken into account.
This has been ensured by the use of Sep's PowrSym3J chronological, probabilistic heat and power
production simulation model. The results from the simulation reveal the production of each generating unit,
and the associated fuel consumption and emissions of CO2, SO2, and
NOx.
E.2) Estimated emissions without the activity:
Description of the scenario, including methodologies applied:
The simulation of the operation of RENEL power and heat generating system has been repeated, after
modification of the relevant parameters of the candidate generating units. These modifications relate to an
enhanced thermal efficiency of these units, as result of this project. Basic assumption is that the
generation of the related units will remain unchanged, and that the decrease in fuel consumption and the
associated emissions is due only to the higher efficiency of the units. This is a moderate assumption
since, in reality, it may be expected that the units, due to a higher efficiency will produce slightly more
electricity, to the detriment of other units with lower efficiency.

RENEL will be provided with a mobile laboratory for measurements and determination of of emissions (NO,
SO2, CO, CO2, O2) and specific fuel consumption of
power plants. Staff of RENEL will be trained in following areas:
- Measurements and monitoring of emissions: training on the job during measurement programmes at three
units in Romania;
- Measurements and analysis of thermodynamic processes and establishment of energetic losses for each stage
of the process; training on the job during measurement programmes at three units in Romania;
- Application of the mobile laboratory, including the measurement equipment: two-week training in the
Netherlands;
- Reduction of specific fuel consumption and emissions: one-week training in the Netherlands.
