It is furthermore propose P10 THE WINTER PACKAGE By Susana Paardekooper, MSc., Brian Vad Mathiesen, Professor MSO, and Lars Grundahl, MSc., Aalborg University Aalborg University HEAT ROADMAP EUROPE: PUSHING THE WINTER PACKAGE TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED APPROACH It has been a while since the first Heat Roadmap Europe research P11 Figure 2: District heating and cooling potential in the EU28, based on heat demand density. This figure shows the cumulative heat demand densities based on Peta3. While it does not have an energy system perspective (so cannot show what the efficient level of district heating could be in the cont P12 Another example, with a much higher potential for district heating, is the Cologne area of Germany, depicted in Figure 4, in which both a high heat demand density as well as numerous excess heat activities are located. More than 50 excess heat facilities are located in the area, and the 10 larg P13 While progress has been achieved, Heat Roadmap Europe also shows that there are many more technical low hanging fruits available. Savings must and can still be implemented to a higher level, but the current focus on the individual buildings risks that oil and natural gas boilers will be mainly P14 DISTRICT HEATING FINANCING AND OWNERSHIP By Frede Hvelplund, Dr. Techn. Professor in energy planning, Aalborg University 2 SIMPLE ECONOMIC REFORMS COULD CREATE MASSIVE ENERGY CONSERVATION IN SMART ENERGY SYSTEMS In this article, we will compare the costs of energy conservation in multifamily P15 Does heat conservation pay with the present incentive system? The question in this section is whether the present heat conservation incentive system is capable of delivering the right amount of heat conservation in right time and in that way, also support a low temperature heating system. Cost P16 The present district heating tariff school says that tariffs should reflect the cost structure in the district heating company (Energistyrelsen, Finansministeriet, Energitilsynet 2009). According to this tariff school, the perceived fixed supply system costs should be reflected in a fixed tarif P17 Meanwhile in a 4th generation district heating system, these two assumptions (a) and (b) are not fulfilled. Firstly, because the supply system is in a process of fundamental change. The short run marginal cost structure of the existing supply system therefore does not encompass the needed price P18 The purple column shows the amount of heat conservation with a positive present value, if we implement a reform with 100% variable tariffs in combination with 30 years 2% loans. If all heat conservation investments with a positive present value are implemented, the present heat consumption will P19 THE RIGHT PRE-INSULATED PIPE SYSTEM FOR LARGE-SCALE SOLAR DISTRICT HEATING NETWORKS By Peter Jorsal, Product Manager, LOGSTOR A pre-insulated pipe system for a solar district heating pipe system is more difficult to design than a normal district heating network in a city. The reason is the num P20 Design criteria Standard district heating systems Standard district heating systems are designed in accordance with the specifications in EN 13941. The system is designed for a minimum service life of 30 years with the following number of load cycles: Transmission pipelines Distribution pipelin P21 Fig. 8 and 9 - Standpipes made indoor. In the indoor factory, straight pipelines are manufactured with standpipes, designed so they match the exact position of the solar panels. Conclusion In the preceding, the importance has been established of designing the pipe system according to the actua P22 By Sara Ben Amer-Allam, PhD fellow at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Marie Münster, Senior Researcher at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Lukas Kranzl, Senior Researcher at Vienna University of Technology KEY SUCCESS FACTORS FOR DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING FOR SIX CASES ACROS P23 Herten, Germany There are two separate district heating grids in the municipality: North, supplied by a coal CHP and South, supplied by a waste incineration plant, that in total constitute about 20% of the municipal heat demand. Several distribution networks individually connected to the distri P24 Brasov, Romania The old coal-fired district heating system in Brasov used to supply both industry and households. However, large industry sites closed down in 1990, thus the network, now only covering 5% of the demand, is overdimensioned and unreliable, with losses reaching 50%. The insufficien P25 Litomerice, Czech Republic Currently, coal-based district heating in the municipality covers 37% of the overall heat demand, other sources being individual natural gas boilers (62%), biomass boilers and solar thermal collectors.
