Mapping heat sources & demand in cities The unexplored potential of urban waste heat for H&C

Local to Global Approaches for Innovative District Energy SolutionsDHC Days 2017 – Lyon 21st February 2017




URBAN WASTE HEAT: WHERE CAN I FIND IT?

INDUSTRIESMATURE TECHNOLOGIES, RECOVERY FOR HEAT & POWER PRODUCTION, HIGHERTEMPERATURE, FAR FROM THE URBAN SETTLEMENTSCOMMERCIAL SERVICES – TRANSPORT – URBAN INFRASTRUCTURESCLOSER TO THE CITY CENTRES, LOWER TEMPERATURE, RECOVERY FOR H&C PURPOSE




URBAN WASTE HEAT: HOW CAN I USE IT?Further research is needed to unlock urban waste heat potential, both considering technical and non-technical aspects

TECHNICAL ASPECTS- Fast cycling/high efficiency heat exchangers- Heat Pumps improvement (single effect COP increasing, volumes/CAPEX

reduction…)- Thermal Storage Integration- 4° Generation of District Heating Network (lower T)

NON- TECHNICAL ASPECTS- New Business Models and Contractual Arrangement- Standardization and Regulatory Framework- Installation and Maintenance Timing/costs similar to conventional systems




URBAN WASTE HEAT: HOW CAN I USE IT?

Waste heat detection and re-use is one key topic with respect to energy planning, particularly about sustainable H&C planning: easy-to-use support tools are needed!

Residential heating demand in Vienna, to be covered by waste heat from commercial sources*

*W. Loibl et al., «Waste-heat re-use from commercial sources in urban environments – identification of potentials and assessment of supply-demand matches, a Vienna case study “, Vol. 12, 2016, WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on ENVIRONMENT and DEVELOPMENT

Aspects to be taken into account to determine the technical potential: - Resource availability : kind of

resource, distance from end users, easiness to achieve the source

- Technical considerations that intervene in the energy conversion and/or use processes (efficiencies, temperature ranges, etc.).

- Demand size




PLANHEAT PROJECT IN A GLANCE

Mapping and Planning of Low Carbon Scenarios for Heating and Cooling




PLANHEAT TARGETS

Directive 2012/27/EU aims to a comprehensive assessment of the potential for high efficiency CHP and DHC in order to define strategies for the decarbonisation of H&C systems.

Municipalities and other public bodies are encouraged to adopt sustainable energy efficiency plans with clear objectives

75% of the European citizens will live in urban areas in 2020 (increase to 84% by 2050)

However, public bodies face the lack of appropriate easy-to-use tools to support themin the definition, simulation and evaluation of their local plans, particularly about H&C




PROJECT OBJECTIVESThe main objective of PLANHEAT is to develop and validate through real use-cases an integrated georeferenced easy–to-use tool for the mapping, planningand simulation of H&C systems at local level.The tool will support local authorities in selecting, simulating and comparingalternative low carbon and economically sustainable scenarios for heating andcooling (from a panel of advanced technologies) that could balance theforecasted demand.




STARTING KNOWLEDGE FOR PLANHEAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT




THE CONSORTIUM• D’Appolonia (ITA) – Project Coordinator • Technische Universiteit Delft (NL)• University of Zagabria (HR) – Leader for training activities• National Observatory of Athens (GR)• VITO (BE) – Leader for mapping module development• TECNALIA (ESP) • Regional Environmental Center For Central & Eastern Europe

(HU)• Euro-Heat and Power (BE) – Leader for dissemination

activities• GEONARDO (HU)• Artelys (FR) – Leader for software integration activities

VALIDATION CITIES PARTNERS• Stad Antwerpen (BE)• Comune di Lecce (IT)• Velika Gorica Grad (HR)




PLANHEAT TOOLSupport local authorities in

• Mapping the local available low carbonenergy sources (RES and Waste Heat)

• Mapping the forecasted demand for heatingand cooling

• Define and simulate alternative economicallyreliable scenarios (DHC, CHP, RES…)

• Understanding the interactions of the newscenarios with the existing infrastructures andnetworks (DHC, gas pipelines, electricity,sewage, transportation)

• Evaluate the impacts of the new solutionsthrough energetic, economic andenvironmental KPIs)

Open source and user-friendly tool




MAP• GIS-based mapping module

• H&C demand spatial distribution including forecaston future buildings demand and Urban Heat Islandphenomena

• Local energy sources potential spatial distribution

Conventional sources (solar, biomass, geothermal)

Unconventional sources (water bodies, sewagenetwork, data centres, shopping mall, undergroundventilation shaft)

Industrial waste energy (industries, waste incineratorsand power plants; LNG terminals and NG decompressionstations for cooling supply)

Identification of the location of the sources, temperature range (HP or direct use?), waste heat estimation (MW), easiness to achieve them, private/public property etc.




PLANStarting from the inputs of the mapping tool

• Match demand and supply giving the user the possibility to manually select scenarios

• Scenarios creation and simulation from city to district (aggregation of building) scale

• Provided with information on future demand at district level

• Provided with a library of equipment for the creation of supply scenarios

• Provided with a tool to define optimal DHC route for analysis at district level




SIMULATE & EVALUATE • Hourly balance between H&C demand and

supply for each selected scenario defined at district level

• Provided with a library of conversion factors and emission factors.

• The simulation results will be evaluated through a detailed KPI panel.

Technical, environmental andeconomic assessment

Energy targets set in national andlocal energy policies (e.g. Municipality

SEAP) and the local economic scenario(energy tariffs, fuel costs, taxes…)




VALIDATION CITIESTo support the consortium in the design and validation of the PLANHEAT integrated tool, making up an interesting mix of:

• Different climate conditions

• Availability of input data

• Different development stages in the planning and development of the next generation heating and cooling system.




PARTECIPATORY APPROACH FOR SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS DEFINITION

• Preparation of a survey to investigate needs&wishes of local authories for mappingand planning H&C at local level - 25 municipalities interviewed so far!

TRAININGPLANHEAT tool has to be an easy-to-use software, but a specific training strategy (based onfour modules made by traditional and e-Learning lessons on a dedicate e-Learningplatform) will be developed in the project to guarantee the autonomy in the use of the toolby local authorities staff without the support of experts.

WHAT ARE THEIR REQUESTS?

• Practical Methodology• Use of Use-Cases and Examples• Time Flexibility• Sharing knowledge and best practices one each other• No Strong ICT skills

SIMPLE E-LEARNING PLATFORM

FORUM AREA

CONCLUSION- Waste heat from small scale urban industries, services and infrastructures still

provides a yet unmapped potential to meet the heating energy demands ofresidential quarters.

- Technological and Non-Technological Research is still needed to unlock thispotential.

- Waste heat detection and re-use is one key topic with respect to energy planning inparticularly for H&C purposes.

- Given that there is a substantial rise in the share of RES for power purposes at urbanlevel (PV, micro-wind) and a decline in RES for H&C systems, coupling waste heat withRES for thermal purpose and the use of HP powered by RES could be the best strategyfor the decarbonization of urban H&C systems

- Municipalities and local stakeholders need easy-to-use instruments and tool toevaluate their sustainable H&C potential (such as the PLANHEAT tool)
