Horizon 2020, Call: H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020, Topic: LC-SC3-ES-3-2018-2020, Type of action: IA
Coordinator: University of Allborg, Denmark
Consortium: 14 Partners from Denmark, Netherlands and Poland
Project objectives:
The purpose of the SERENE project is to design and demonstrate sustainable, integrated, cost-effective and user-oriented technical and technological solutions for local communities. The idea of the project is to integrate different devices (also developed by project partners) of the energy system and new renewable generation units in local communities to meet their energy needs in the coming years. The SERENE project includes the design and implementation of demonstrations of structural and technological solutions in three European countries - Denmark, Netherlands and Poland. The project covers design, technology and integration aspects of new heat, cooling and electricity generation sources using RES, as well as the operation of various technologies - energy storage (including heat storage), alternative vehicles, hybrid heating systems supported by innovative heat pumps.
The role of IMP PAN:
As part of the project work in the municipality of Przywidz, the installation of innovative medium-power heat pumps will be performed – about 100 kWt (proposed as part of the work of the IMP PAN) – integrated into the local heat production, distribution and storage system in the school complex with the sports hall. On the basis of the data collected, the parameters of operation of the heat pump under critical load conditions and the impact of these loads on the service life (diagnostic) of the heat pump components will be analysed. Long-term studies are planned. As part of the design works of IMP PAN, the characteristics of the work of selected mechanical devices which are elements of the sewage treatment process in the treatment plant of the Municipality of Przywidz. A diagnostic system is installed, providing information on vibrations, noise and other parameters necessary for the implementation of mechanical failure prediction models. Additionally, the project plans to develop a heat exchanger dedicated to the recovery of heat from the so-called grey water and municipal sewage, which is the lower source of the heat pump. The scope of the work described above is mostly related to the area of heat exchange, fluid mechanics and materials strength, which places these work in mechanical engineering.
The subjects covered by the project include:
- the mechanics of the construction and basics of the machinery – in view of the need to perform the strength calculations, the execution of the implementing documentation of the foundation for the flow energy storage and the development of heat exchangers,
- fluid mechanics – due to the need for flow calculations in pump systems of sewage treatment plants,
- thermodynamics and heat exchange – due to the need to calculate the area of coils built in the tank and the heat exchange surface in the heat pump evaporator,
- metrology – due to the design of measurement and acquisition systems and statistical processing of data.
