IEA HPT Annex Flexibility by implementation of heat pump in multi-vector energy systems and thermal networks.
The present IEA Annex is a part of the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme on Heat Pumping Technologies. The Annex is a continuation of the work done in Annex 47, which focused on existing solutions and technology for heat pumps in district heating. Annex 47 showed that up to 50 % of the heating demand in Europe could be covered by district heating and that heat pumps can cover up to 25 % of the energy supply to the district heating grid.
In this Annex, focus is on coming technologies and the possibilities of heat pumps to increase the flexibility in energy systems with different sources such as PV, wind-power, and biomass. Heat pumps in district heating provide many benefits since they enable the possibility of running the systems at lower temperatures. This increases the possibilities of using waste heat, and the grid can therefore run more efficiently as heat losses can be reduced.
The implementation of District Heating and Cooling (DHC) systems is a solution to increase the overall energy efficiency in the society and minimize the use of fossil fuels. Furthermore, it is a solution to use waste heat and increase the share of renewable energy in the entire energy system.Key figures
