NR 432.02(33)(f)(f) As determined by the administrator in consultation with the secretary of energy, a derivative of one or more of the technologies under pars. (a) to (e) and any other coal-fired technology capable of controlling multiple combustion emissions simultaneously with improved boiler or generation efficiency and with significantly greater waste reduction relative to the performance of technology in widespread commercial use as of January 1, 2005. NR 432.02(34)(34) “Solid waste incineration unit” means a stationary, fossil-fuel-fired boiler or stationary, fossil-fuel-fired combustion turbine that is a ‘‘solid waste incineration unit’’ as defined in section 129 (g) (1) of the Act (42 USC 7429 (g) (1)). NR 432.02(35)(35) “Topping-cycle cogeneration unit” means a cogeneration unit in which the energy input to the unit is first used to produce useful power, including electricity, and at least some of the reject heat from the electricity production is then used to provide useful thermal energy. NR 432.02(36)(36) “Total energy input” means, with regard to a cogeneration unit, total energy of all forms supplied to a cogeneration unit, excluding energy produced by the cogeneration unit itself. NR 432.02(37)(37) “Total energy output” means, with regard to a cogeneration unit, the sum of useful power and useful thermal energy produced by the cogeneration unit. NR 432.02(38)(a)(a) A stationary, fossil fuel-fired boiler or combustion turbine or other stationary, fossil fuel-fired combustion device. NR 432.02(39)(39) “Useful thermal energy” means, with regard to a cogeneration unit, thermal energy that is any of the following: NR 432.02(39)(a)(a) Made available to an industrial or commercial process, not a power production process, excluding any heat contained in condensate return or makeup water. NR 432.02(39)(b)(b) Used in a heating application, such as space heating or hot water heating. NR 432.02(39)(c)(c) Used in space cooling application, such as thermal energy used by an absorption chiller. NR 432.02(40)(40) “Utility power distribution system” means the portion of an electricity grid owned or operated by a utility and dedicated to delivering electricity to customers. NR 432.02 NoteNote: The definitions in this section are limited to use in this chapter and are substantively similar to the federal CAIR definitions found in 40 CFR part 97 except for ”gross electrical output” and ”useful thermal energy”. The difference in the definitions for these 2 terms is necessary to implement the state allocation structure that differs from the allocation structure in the federal implementation plan. NR 432.02 HistoryHistory: CR 06-104: cr. Register July 2007 No. 619, eff. 8-1-07. NR 432.03NR 432.03 CAIR NOx allowance allocation. The department shall use the procedures in this section for calculating and allocating CAIR NOx allowances for CAIR NOx units and CAIR renewable units. NR 432.03(1)(a)(a) Calculating baseline energy output. The department shall calculate the baseline energy output of each CAIR NOx unit and each CAIR renewable unit, in MWh according to the following equations as appropriate: NR 432.03(1)(a)1.1. For a CAIR NOx unit that is a cogeneration unit and that has operated for 5 or more consecutive calendar years, by using one of the following equations: NR 432.03(1)(a)1.a.a. Use equation 1a if the unit is the only unit serving a generator or, if more than one unit serves the same generator and unit-level data for equation 1a is available for all units: where:
B is the unit baseline energy output made available by the cogeneration unit in MWh
GEavg is the average of the 3 highest annual amounts of the unit’s annual gross electric output in MWh over the 5-year period identified in par. (b)
TEavg is the average of the 3 highest annual amounts of the unit’s annual useful thermal energy in mmBtu over the 5-year period identified in par. (b)
3.4 is a conversion factor in mmBtu/MWh
NR 432.03(1)(a)1.b.b. Use equation 1b if more than one unit serves the same generator and unit-level data for equation 1a is not available for all units: where:
