GeoCom – FP7 CONCERTO – 239515 RES INTEGRATION CONCEPT PAPER D5.1 – Final version WP Leader: P9 – University of Szeged. Key Contributors: P1, P2, P8 2012 GEOCOM WP5 - Technological Research / WP5.1 Integration with other RES The main scope of this sub-WP has been to outline ways of integrating geothermal energy in energy systems in Central-Eastern Europe. In this WP available experience of integrating geothermal energy into a cascaded facility with a view to environmental improvements and extending the utilization time and spectrum of uses of such facilities has been be studied. Researchers at the University of Szeged looked at the economic and environmental factors of geothermal systems operating in the South Great Plain Region, outlined potential project sites and developed a number of project plans presented here in brief. We collected data from GeoCom project partners too regarding utilization in other CEE countries. This volume presents the first concise study of actual and potential geothermal projects in the South Great Plain of Hungary, with project concepts developed entirely by our researchers and contracted experts. Our work is complemented by data provided by our partners from Serbia, Slovakia, FYROM and Poland. As projects in renewable energy use differ greatly from one-another we did not intend to formulate general conclusions regarding economic or environmental factors of RES integration. Rather, we present the RE potential of the target region, showcase our development proposals, and provide a tool (GIS model) to assist future project development. As stated in Annex 1 the main scope of this sub-WP has been to outline ways of integrating geothermal sources in energy systems, including those with other RES. However, as WP5.4 deals specifically with integrated utilization of waste gases of thermal wells in this phase we focused on GE system layouts and their integration with wind and solar energy, and present outputs related to waste gas integration under WP5.4. Solar and wind energy as well as biomass provide the context of integration for geothermal. We assessed the potential of these three sources and forms of energy use in the target region, and summarized our analysis by developing and hence publishing an interactive tool that enables a multiple input evaluation of potential project sites. Our model is intended for large scale assets assessment and decision makers on all levels may make use of it. Designed primarily for an expert target group in mind as it was, our model may also be used in education while case studies and project plans can serve as blueprints for future developments. The following activities had been planned and were carried out: 1) Investigation of the economic factors that influence the integration of GE in energy systems. 2) Investigation of other factors that influence the integration of GE in energy systems. 3) Identification of integrated systems potential layouts. 4) Studies for the improvement of geothermal energy utilization in CEE. Partner participation P2/P8: Data collection for case studies on RES integration in Italy; (as Italy is not CEE, these data were not included in the final document) P4: Data collection for case studies on RES integration in Slovakia; P5: Data collection for case studies on RES integration in Poland; P7: Data collection for case studies on RES integration in FYROM; P14: Data collection for case studies on RES integration in Serbia Participants from the University of Szeged: Dr. Elemér Pál-Molnár, D.
