District Heating and Cooling Connection Handbook INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY IEA DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING Programme of Research, Development and Demonstration on District Heating and Cooling District Heating and Cooling Connection Handbook Bard Skagestad1, Peter Mildenstein2 1Kattner/FVB District Energy Inc. Canada 2Sheffield Heat and Power Group, UK 1 Preface Introduction The International Energy Agency (IEA) was established in 1974 in order to strengthen the co- operation between member countries. As an element of the International Energy Programme, the participating countries undertake co-operative actions in energy research, development and demonstration. District Heating offers excellent opportunities for achieving the twin goals of saving energy and reducing environmental pollution. It is an extremely flexible technology which can make use of any fuel including the utilisation of waste energy, renewables and, most significantly, the application of combined heat and power (CHP). It is by means of these integrated solutions that very substantial progress towards environmental targets, such as those emerging from the Kyoto commitment, can be made. For more information about this Implementing Agreement please check our Internet site www.iea- dhc.org/ Annex VI In May 1999 Annex VI started. The countries that participated were: Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Korea, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America.

Membership proves invaluable in enhancing the quality of support given under national programmes. The final materials from the research are tangible examples, but other benefits include the cross-fertilisation of ideas which has resulted not only in shared knowledge but also opportunities for further collaboration. Participant countries benefit through the active participation in the programme of their own consultants and research organizations. Each of the projects is supported by a team of Experts, one from each participant country. The sharing of knowledge is a two-way process, and there are known examples of the expert him/herself learning about new techniques and applying them in their own organization.

Tiitinen (Finland) R. Volla (Norway) Introduction iii 2 Summary This report is intended to assist engineers and consultants in designing and implementing conversions of building HVAC systems to accept chilled and hot water from district energy systems. Building types that are addressed include residential, commercial, institutional and industrial. The practical guidelines provided are based on extensive conversion and operating experience. As well as highlighting the most cost effective approach to conversions, the guidelines ensure that technically sound systems are built. The report looks at the fundamentals and principles of both district heating and cooling including energy sources, distribution and customer interface. Design considerations of these three main components of district energy are described, as well as the benefits that district energy can bring to the building owners, the municipality and the public. Critical points in designing the interface between the building energy system and the district energy system (energy transfer station) are outlined and are intended for use in the design of new building systems as well as for conversions of existing buildings. Detailed schematics of energy transfer stations are shown illustrating all components, including control equipment, heat exchangers and energy meter. Energy transfer station performance is detailed with graphs showing the impact of various parameters within a district energy system. The report also highlights the considerations of design and operation of the secondary system or the system that uses the energy from the district energy system. The report also breaks down, step by step, the procedure to convert a building to accept district energy. These include building survey and schematic design, energy consumption, compatibility, costs, system optimization, construction schedule, testing and commissioning. The suitability of a given system to be converted is also discussed. The importance of a correct determination of the heating and cooling demand of a building is stressed, because a proper sizing of the heat exchanger in the energy transfer station affects the operation of the system in a major way. Several methods to determine this load demand value are described. The optimization of the heat exchanger is also very important because it forms a large part of the capital cost of the energy transfer station. Some case histories of buildings connected to a district cooling system are described.

The fifth-generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) concept, often referred to as ambient loops, is a novel solution emerging in Europe and has become a widely discussed topic in current energy system research. 5GDHC systems operate at a temperature close to the ground and include electrically driven heat pumps and associated thermal energy storage in a building-sited energy transfer station (ETS) to satisfy user comfort. This work presents new strategies for improving the operation of these energy transfer stations by means of a model predictive control (MPC) method based on recurrent artificial neural networks. The results show that, under simple time-of-use utility rates, the advanced controller outperforms a rule-based controller for smart charging of the domestic hot water (DHW) thermal energy storage under specific boundary conditions.

A solar fraction of 70% was considered to size the solar field aperture area and the chiller capacity, within a multi-variable optimization process. An auxiliary com- pression chiller is supposed to cover the peak loads and to be used as backup unit. The two different solar cooling plants exhibit strongly different performance.

  • A Little About Limits…
    FOREST-Handbook, chapter 03-00 1 District heating – Introduction 03-00: Introduction to small-scale district heating… As a “small” district heating network, one would consider anything with a peak thermal power less than about 5-10 MW, but there is no strict limit. The fundamental idea with district heating is simple enough, as shown by the schematic below: Thus, the system consists basically of three serial circuits, a boiler circuit, a distribution circuit and a customer circuit. In practice, there will be two customer circuits – one for the tap water and one for the comfort heating system water. These will be manifest as two separate coils in the customer heat exchanger but for simplicity only one is included in the schematic. The main components and their roles The boiler-end heat exchanger Looking at the schematic above it is obvious that the district heating system contains two heat exchangers – one at the boiler end and one with the customer. From a purely theoretical point of view, it might seem wise to exclude the boiler-end heat exchanger and to use the boiler circuit water also for the distribution, but this is not recommended for two reasons: 1) The part in the system most exposed to and most vulnerable to leakages is the distribution network, which may well extent for several kilometres across the township. In case of a major leakage – and if the boiler water is also the circulating water – the boiler will be dry and may suffer severe damage. Hence, the heat exchanger protects the boiler. 2) For maximum efficiency in the system as a whole it is important that the return water in the distribution system is as cold as possible – preferably below 50 oC.

Its roots in the U.S. date back to the 19th century and through the years many technological advancements and synergies have developed that help district energy efficiency.

The plant is devoted to covering the domestic hot water and space heating demands of a district composed of six typical residential buildings located in Naples (southern Italy). Three alternative natural gas-fueled back-up auxiliary systems (condensing boiler and two different technologies of micro-cogeneration) aiming at balancing the solar energy intermittency are investigated. The utilization of electric storages in combination with the cogeneration systems is also considered with the aim of improving the self-consumption of cogenerated electric energy; heat recovery from the distribution circuit is also evaluated to pre-heat the mains water for domestic hot water production. The performances of the proposed plant schemes are contrasted with those of a typical Italian decentralized heating plant (based on the utilization of natural gas-fueled non-condensing boilers).
