Special programme geothermal/large heat pumps - IEA HEAT Pump Programme Annex 47 - Heat pumps in district heating and distant cooling systems
Today there is a great focus on using energy more efficiently. District Heating systems is a solution to increase the overall energy efficiency. A solution to increase the share of renewable energy in District Heating systems is to introduce heat pumps in the District Heating system. The aim of the project is to show how heat pumps can be implemented in District Heating systems, from large towns to urban areas or settlements, in a smart and sustainable way.
The purpose of this annex is to gather information and ideas for policy makers and planners of energy systems in urban areas concerning the possibilities and barriers related to the implementation of heat pumps in District Heating and Cooling systems.
One of the goals will be to describe how heat pumps can be implemented in both new and old district heating systems in the best way possible. The different types of integration will be described in this respect the difference and possibilities for integration in both the central and local systems will be portrayed. The possibilities of increasing a larger share of renewable energy or using excess heat in the different systems by using heat pumps will be a focus area. Minimizing the system losses by using Heat Pumps will also be an objective. Projects where heat pumps are integrated in district heating systems will be described and evaluated for each participating country.
The market potential and economic opportunities will be evaluated and described for each participating country.
