3.5 Resolution of Any Material Discrepancy

1. Definition: A Corrective Action Request (CAR) will be established where:

• mistakes have been made in assumptions, application of the methodology or the project
documentation which will have a direct influence the project results,
• the requirements deemed relevant for verification of the project with certain characteristics have not
been met or
• There is a risk that the project would not be approved by the UNFCCC/VCS or that emission
reductions would not be able to be verified and certified.
A Clarification Request (CL) will be issued where information is insufficient, unclear or not transparent
enough to establish whether a requirement is met.
A Forward Action Request (FAR) will be issued when certain issues related to project implementation
should be reviewed during the first verification.

2. Draft Verification Report

After reviewing all relevant documents and taken all other relevant information into account, the
assessment team issues all findings in the course of a draft verification report and hands this report over
to the project proponent in order to respond on the issues raised and to revise the project documentation
accordingly.

3. Final Verification Report

The final verification starts after issuance of the proposed corrective action (CA) of the CARs CLs and
FARs by the project proponent. The project proponent has to reply on those and the requests are “closed
out” by the assessment team in case the response is assessed as sufficient. In case of raised FARs the
project proponent has to respond on this, identifying the necessary actions to ensure that the topics
raised in this finding are likely to be resolved at the latest during the subsequent verification. The
assessment team has to assess whether the proposed action is adequate or not.
In case the findings from CARs and CLs cannot be resolved by the project proponent or the proposed
action related to the FARs raised cannot be assessed as adequate, no positive verification opinion can be
issued by the assessment team.
The CAR(s) / CL(s) / FAR(s) are documented in chapter 4 below.

v3.1
11
 VERIFICATION REPORT: VCS Version 3
4. Technical review

Before submission of the final verification report a technical review of the whole verification procedure is
carried out. The technical reviewer is a competent GHG auditor being appointed for the scope this project
falls under. The technical reviewer is not considered to be part of the verification team and thus not
involved in the decision making process up to the technical review.
As a result of the technical review process the verification opinion and the topic specific assessments as
prepared by the verification team leader may be confirmed or revised. Furthermore reporting
improvements might be achieved.

5. Final approval

After successful technical review of the final report an overall (esp. procedural) assessment of the
complete verification will be carried out by a senior assessor located in the accredited premises of TÜV
NORD.
Only after this step the request for issuance can be started (in case of a positive verification opinion).

Completeness of monitoring

Description
/MR/ /XLS/
The reporting is in line with the requirements of the approved monitoring plan as well as with
the applied methodology AMS I.D version 11. The reporting procedures reflect the requirements of the
/PDD/
monitoring plan of the approved PDD . The monitoring parameters are recorded as per the
monitoring plan. The monthly JMR (Joint Meter Reading) provides the net export and import and net
electricity supplied to the grid (Net electricity export to grid = Electricity export to grid – Electricity
import from grid – Electricity Losses, if any (Transmission and Distribution losses)) of each individual
and grouped WTGs. This data then forms the basis of emission reduction calculations.
The electronic tri-vector export-import meters are installed by respective state utility at the high voltage
side of the step up transformer installed at the project site. The installed meters measure the electricity
export and electricity import for each bundle, which was verified on-site and deemed correct.
The details of meters are as follows:

Current calibration date 2012-03-19
Previous calibration date 2011-03-26
Monitoring for Bundle I (Karnataka):
All the WTGs are connected to the on-site dedicated metering point at project site switchyard at 33
KV. The metering point consists of main & checks meters (Export/Import meter) of 0.2 accuracy class.
The electricity exported/imported is monitored & measured on continuous basis; while recording is
/JMR/
done on monthly basis as Joint Meter Reading . The joint meter reading procedure is done in the
presence of representatives of State Utility & PP or O&M contractor. Electricity from the metering
point is further evacuated to the substation, where electricity is monitored and measured by the
substation main & check meters (export/import) at 33KV. The transmission losses during export from
/JMR/
metering point to the substation are calculated by the state utility and reported in the JMR . As
these losses are charged to PP by the state utility at 15% of the import; the net electricity export is
calculated as:
Net electricity export to grid = Electricity export – Electricity import@115% – Transmission losses
during export
Monitoring for Bundle II (Rajasthan):
The project activity windmills of bundle II are connected a common feeder at project site. Other WTGs
are also connected feeders. These all feeders are then connected to the Temderai 132/33kV GSS
which is also referred as pooling substation by two separate lines (Line 1 & Line 2). One export/import
meter is installed on each line. The metering point at this substation serves as back up metering for
the project activity. This substation is further connected to the common metering point at Amarsagar
220 kV GSS through two separate lines i.e. Line 1 & Line 2. These lines are equipped with two main
meters on each line. This metering point is serves as main metering point for the project activity. The

v3.1
16
 VERIFICATION REPORT: VCS Version 3
main meters are considered for monthly billing. All meters installed are of 0.2 accuracy class.
The monitoring & measurement of electricity at above metering points is done on continuous basis and
recorded monthly basis as Joint Meter Readings/JMR/. The joint meter reading procedure is done in the
presence of representatives of State Utility & PP or O&M contractor. The net electricity supplied by
/MR/
individual PP to the grid is arrived by apportioning which described in Annex 3 of MR . These
apportioned values of the monthly Import, Export & net export are sourced from the monthly break up
/JMR/
report .
The net electricity exported by bundle II is calculated as: Net electricity export to grid = Export – Import

As per the FAR 1 raised in the verification report no. 53703708-08/223
dated January 08, 2009 for the second periodic verification, the
snapshot copies of generation on the last day of every calendar month
for the whole calendar months as per section B.7.2 of the PDD is not
submitted by the project participant.

Corrective Action #1
This section shall be filled
by the PP. It shall
address the corrective
action taken in details.
PP & ENERCON, despite efforts, cannot fulfill snapshot copies of
generation on the last day of each calendar month during the monitoring
period due to practical difficulty. So the snapshots for this periodic
verification are not available with the PP.
However, PP has followed the overall monitoring system as per the
applicable VCS guidelines for this crediting year. Following documents
are submitted to DOE for both the sub bundles for assessment:
• Monthly Joint Meter Reading reports
• Monthly Invoices
• Calibration reports
• Training Document
PP has ensured the quality of monitoring plan & the emission reductions
Accrued for current monitoring year (2011-12).

4.2 Accuracy of GHG Emission Reduction or Removal Calculations

Description
Simplified Modalities and Procedures for Small-Scale CDM Project Activity, Category I.D. is applied to
the project activity. The emission coefficient is calculated in accordance with the requirements of AMS
I.D version 11and CEA data base version 2.

The project activity involves generation of electricity from renewable wind source that would have been
generated from fossil fuel based power plants connected to the grid. The project activity displaces the
grid power and thus leads to the reduction of GHGs emissions. Baseline emissions are the product of
kWh of electricity generated with grid emission coefficient calculated in a transparent and conservative
manner as the weighted average emissions (in kg CO2e/kWh). BEy = EGy x EFy
Since the project activity is a renewable energy project which generates electricity using wind power and
hence does not result in project emissions. No leakage is considered from the project activity as per
approved methodology AMS I.D – Grid connected renewable electricity generation (Version 11, EB 31).
/JMR/
The net electricity supplied to the grid for each month has been cross checked with the JMR sheets
which is an authentic document. Also the values were cross checked with the invoices raised by the
project participant to the respective state utilities.
The total net electricity supplied by WTGs during the monitoring period is 10.00 GWh. The Grid emission

v3.1

 VERIFICATION REPORT: VCS Version 3
factor has been fixed ex-ante for Northern and Southern region grid as 890.25 tCO2/GWh and 929.75
tCO2/GWh respectively/PDD/. Based on the net electricity supplied and the emission factor the baseline
emissions are computed to be 9191 tCO2e. All the figures as per the monitoring plan were cross-
checked by the assessment team against basic monitored data and the calculations were found to be
correct.

Nevertheless following CAR was raised and closed successfully based on revised MR and ER
calculation sheet.
