Introduction
Recently the need for a more efficient usage of more diverse energy sources in Vietnam, including more non-conventional sources has been seriously concerned by energy experts due to both economic and environmental reasons.
If this challenge is not met, it is estimated that after the year 2015, domestic sources of electricity energy supply could be unable to meet the growth in electricity demand. Fuels and electricity energy would need to be imported for electricity generation, even with the nuclear power option.

Outline of Presentation
1) Status of Vietnam power sector and its development until 2020. 2) The adoption of the analysis framework of the integrated resource planning for Vietnam power sector will be determinated.
3) Some previous analyses of Vietnam power sector development with problems of development & emissions mitigation. This focuses on the optimal selection of least cost technological options such as clean generation technologies, fuel switching for achieving a range of mitigation targets on CO2 emission from the power sector. As well, the implications of the introduction of carbon and energy taxes into power sector will be examined for achieving such mitigating targets.Key words: emissions mitigation in power sector, integrated resource planning, clean generation technologies.

Power sector & its forthcoming challenge
Alternatives considered by Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) due the shortage possibility of domestic sources for electricity supply in period 2015-2020:
3) Electricity imported from neighbor countries4) Coal imported5) Gas imported via ASEAN gas pipe line system6) LNG imported. 7) Development of renewable energy sources: wind, geothermal, biogas, solar, small hydro8) Energy saving and improving efficiency energy use 9) Nuclear power option
Challenging question: How to achieve the economical and environmental targets in assuring stable electricity supply and national energy security?
18
Power sector & its forthcoming challenge
- High technology cost- Policy, financial barriers, technology transfers- Dependence on nature => un-dispachable sources => not big balanced source supply
- Environmental economics and benefits- Supply electricity for remote areas- CDM projects potential
Development of renewable energy sources: wind, geothermal, solar, biogas.
4
- Dependence on oil price on the world- High import price 1.25 more than gas import price => high electricity price- Import 1.3-2.4 billion USD/year
- Possibly reserve like coal, oilLNG imported: - Import 6.4- 11.5 million. ton/year- Import price: 4.0 – 4.3 USD/mil.BTU
3
- Limited gas market- Import 1-1,7 billion USD/year (2020) & 3.9-6.7 billion USD/năm (2030)- Limited to 4 - 5 billion m3/year
- About year 2016 – 2018, the ASEAN pipe line system will be available
Gas imported via ASEAN pipe line:- Import 7-13 billion m3/year (2020);- Construction of 6000-11000MW GT plants- Import price: 3.2 – 3.6 USD/106.BTU
2
- Limited possibility of import- Import 1.6-2.9 billion USD/year (2020)
- Countries in regional area have big potential of hydro energy- Avoid investment- Environmental benefits
Electricity imported- Import 35-64 billion kWh/year (2020)- Import price: 4.5 – 5 cent/kWh

The analysis framework
Vietnam has some models for power sector development such as WASP III (Wienna Automatic System Planning), PDPAT 2 (Power Development Planning Assistant Tool), PSS/E (Power System Simulator for Engineering), Strategist, IRP, and so on…
IRP (integrated resource planning) model is one of the best tools to analyze the important aspect of sustainable development of the power generation expansion planning. It can integrate both supply- and demand-side technology options into power generation expansion planning under the optimal objective of cost effective and friendly environment.
Also, IRP allows us to determine emissions mitigation mechanism (CDM) for long term sustainable power sector development.
22
The analysis framework
The integrated resource planning (IRP) model, developed by Energy Program of Asian Institute of Technology since 1998, is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem.
It finds out the least cost combination of electricity generation capacities of different types of plants and the level of end-use electrical appliances to be added and the level of power generated by different power plants in meeting electricity demand during a planning horizon.
Integer decision variables are the number of generation units to be installed in each year of the planning horizon. Other decision variables are generation of each power plant at each block of a season in a year, number of DSM appliances applied in each year and expected supply from external suppliers in each block.

Key Findings
Finally, it is interesting to find out the meaningfully lower CO2
marginal abatement costs in power sector as compared to Japan (US$ 159.2/ton CO2); European Union (US$74.5/ton CO2); USA (US$50.7/ton CO2); and OECD countries (US$ 63.6/ton CO2) implicate some power projects in Vietnam could be considerably effective for funding under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) as stipulated in the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Analysis based renewable energy
technology cost There has been a meaningfully rapid innovation in advanced technology of small-scale power units that would make renewable energy technologies become more cost effective.
Thus the role of selected renewable energy technologies is examined and analyzed at different cost scenarios for these technologies from long term power development planning perspective. This obtains the following key findings:
Small hydro: some of small candidate hydro units got economically selected in the base case. The capacity cost of small hydro then was decreased by -10% to -20% of base case value then it was found that all small candidate hydro units got cost effectively selected. This indicates small hydro energy has attractive potential and effective possibility for CDM projects in Vietnam.
Key Findings
41
Analysis based renewable energy
technology cost Key Findings
Wood fired plant based BIGCC technology: not got cost effectively selected at the technology cost of 1365US$/kW in the base case. But all candidate wood fired plants would become economically selected at the decreasing technology cost of 10%. This implies the Wood fired plant based BIGCC technology has attractive potential and effective possibility for CDM projects in Vietnam
Wind: none of candidate wind farm plants got selected at the technology cost of 1700 $/kW. Results indicate that candidate wind farm plants would only be cost effectively generated at the technology cost of 1100 $/kW.
Rice husk plant based direct combustion, baggage plant based direct combustion, mini hydro and solar technologies: they are still not effectively competitive for electricity generation supply in Vietnam.

Key FindingsAt that higher level of carbon/energy tax would lead to less utilization of coal fired based power generation. Only 5.21% and 7.85% coal fired based power plants produced at highest rates of 200$/tC and 10$/Mbtu respectively. Share of gas based generation would increase from 21.95% in absence of carbon tax to 36.64% at carbon tax rate of US$200/tC while it would decrease to 10.45% at energy tax rate of US$10/Mbtu.
The result also presents the role of renewable energy based generation under carbon and energy tax in power sector would become economically attractive (wind and mini hydro) at tax rate of 25$/tC and beyond 1$/Mbtu.
No advanced technologies such as IGCC, FPBC; BIGCC would be economically effective in the expansion capacity generation planning in Vietnam even at highest studied tax rates of carbon and energy. This is because of the technology prices of these are still not enough competitively low to others, and RETs.

Key Findings
The study also shows that introduction of carbon/energy tax would not only reduce CO2 emission but also local pollutants as well.
The CO2 mitigation at all carbon tax rates is mainly due to the change in selection of power plant technology use rather than due to the change in electricity demand.
Introducing carbon and energy tax in Vietnam would definitely increase the average incremental cost (AIC).
It was found that for the same amount of CO2 emission reduction (10%), the average incremental cost (AIC) with carbon tax is lower than with energy tax in Vietnam. Also carbon tax is more cost effective than energy tax in mitigating CO2 emissions within the tax ranges studied.
