What is standardization?

Standardization …

• … is an open process => all parties concerned invited

to participate for broad support

• … is developing agreements based on consensus =>

no sustained opposition

• … is transparent => agreements are publicly

available for comments and use

• … takes place on three levels:

― national (e.g. the Netherlands [NEN], Germany [DIN])

― regional (e.g. Europe [CEN], Gulf States [GSO])

― international (e.g. ISO, IEC)


What are standards?

Standards…

• … are documents with agreements on products,

services and systems

• ... are designed for voluntary use

• ... contribute to:

― (inter)national strength of competition

― innovation

― health, safety and environment

― image

• ... are in accordance with WTO


What is added value of standards? (1)

CASE STUDY 1 – BSI study in United Kingdom [1]

Standards play a vital and often invisible role in supporting

economic growth, e.g.:

• Supporting 37,4% of annual labour productivity growth

translating into circa 28,4% of annual GDP growth (i.e.

£8,2 billion of £29,0 billion of GDP growth in 2013)

• Annual impacts on turnover totalling £33,3 billion and

£6,9 billion in GVA terms (2014 prices, 7 sectors)

And also offers greater control over environmental

problems and optimization of compliance with regulations

What is added value of standards? (2)

CASE STUDY 2 – ISO 50001 certified companies [2]

• 89% of users are satisfied, and 95% of them strongly

recommend standard

• Financial benefits through insight in energy consumption

resulting in energy savings and peak-shaving

• Non-financial benefits including prioritizing strategic

actions, ramping up personnel's skills, comparing

energy performance, and trigger of innovation in

industrial processes, products and services

INTRODUCTION INTO

STANDARDIZATION GOLDEN TRIANGLE


Relationship between regulation,

standardization and certification

10

One way to

demonstrate

is applying

standards

Regulator has

confidence in

value of certificate

to demonstrate

compliance with

law

Third party

conformity

assessment

increases

credibility

Organization has to

comply with legal

requirements


Diamond

11

Working with accredited

conformity assessment

bodies further increases

confident in value

certificate


Self-regulation

Standardization can also be deployed as a self-

regulatory instrument:

• market sets the standard responding to market needs

[common process]

• standard can substitute (new) legal requirements, if

authorities acknowledge broad support and

implementation of standard while meeting

governmental objectives


Public-private partnerships to

foster transitions by removing

barriers including in the areas

of energy and climate

TRENDS IN ENERGY TRANSITION


Track record

Standardization already contributes

for several decades to a safe,

reliable and affordable energy

supply system:

• Integrity of infrastructure

• Interoperability

• Fuel quality

• Sampling and analysis

• Flow measurements

• Energy management

• Et cetera


Trends in changes energy landscape

Energy transition difficult to predict, however:

• Focus on steering on CO2 reduction (i.e. energy saving,

improving energy efficiency, use of renewable energy

sources, carbon capture and utilization / storage)

• Further diversification of energy mix (e.g. more energy

sources and carriers, need for storage and balancing)

• Increased societal participation (e.g. supporters vs

opponents of local energy projects, establishment of

cooperatives)

• Integration with other systems/developments (e.g. IoT,

big data, circular economy, biobased economy, smart

cities, Industry 4.0)

STANDARDIZATION


NEW AGREEMENTS TO

RESPOND TO TRENDS

Additional steps and efforts (1)

• Enhanced deployment of interoperability between

energy systems

E.g. ‘communication’ between different energy systems

[electrons meet molecules], also for balancing purposes

• Accelerating (application of) innovations

E.g. establishing state-of-art upon which parties can continue to

build and introduce concepts sooner to the market

• Securing embedment

E.g. new systems should be fitted in existing systems including

above- and belowground infrastructure


Additional steps and efforts (2)

• Fostering social innovation

E.g. participation of local communities

• Increasing verifiability and transparency

E.g. unambiguous calculation, measurement and test methods,

also suitable for benchmarking

• Enhanced deployment of system integration

E.g. linking to other developments as circular economy, internet

of things, big data, smart cities and smart industries


Recognition of need for standards

Berenschot report conclusions [3]:

• Absence of (technical) standards and standardization

creates a barrier to scale up innovations

• Innovations may be certified or not, based on

standards => Certification is necessary to make

innovations financeable and therefore applicable and

fit-for-purpose into current system

“… not having standardization and certification is

perceived as an obstacle, which is perhaps one of the

most underrated issues in the energy innovation …”

oplossingsrichtingen, Berenschot, November 2016


Themes of standardization agenda (1)

Safety and reliability of energy techniques,

infrastructure and systems

Interoperability within and between energy systems

Balancing energy demand and supply

Measurability and transparency of energy savings

Comparability of CO2 emission savings

Management of social environment / stakeholders

participation


Themes of standardization agenda (2)

Competency building of energy engineers, mechanics,

installers, fitters, auditors and other experts

Acceleration of innovation by using standardization

in dissemination and market introduction

System integration by bringing together forums

tackling specific aspects and creating coherence

Education, already starting at secondary school

Knowledge export via participation in worldwide

standardization


Work in progress – Standard for harmonized

framework energy transition calculation models

• Fostering social innovation


Transparent and harmonized assumptions / presumptions for input and performing

calculations
