EnergyLab Nordhavn, Smart components in integrated energy systems

DTU Elektro/CEE Management

Highly fluctuating local energy generation and consumption will result in energy flows in all directions at several scales. The project addresses the increasing need for energy flexibility on demand at all scales in time, space and source in the future urban energy systems with more stochastic generation. Today, energy service solutions are typically highly optimised locally to provide their primarily high quality energy services at lowest energy consumption, irrespectively of the actual states of the energy systems. This provides extra challenges and costs for the energy systems - for power and energy balancing at all scales in time and space, and for the capacities of the infrastructures. The purpose of the project is to find ways to solve this challenge, based on new and existing energyflexibilities awailable in the energysystem

Project description

This project will demonstrate how specific Danfoss heating and cooling solutions can be further developed to provide energy system flexibilities, in addition to - and without compromising - their primary energy services. The project will extend from single-objective to multi-objective operation the following solutions

• Ultra-low temperature district heating heat booster substations for larger buildings

• Danfoss Living Connect building heating systems

• Multi-purpose utilisation of heat pump capacities in supermarkets

To demonstrate how they can contribute to the overall energy flexibility objectives, they will be integrated with the efforts in the project “EnergyLab Nordhavn – New Urban Energy Infrastructures” The project will strengthen Danfoss as the global leader and will result in increased Danish export. The heat booster substations will be installed and demonstrated in 2 larger buildings. The residential energy management solutions will be installed and demonstrated in 10 apartments. A large multi-purpose heat pump will be utillised from e.g. a supermarket connected to the district heating system. The developed solutions will be able to communicate their actual, dynamic energy flexibilities to the overall energy system controllers, and to be able to respond to energy system flexibility requests, in terms of time-shift, fuel-shift or function-shift.
