SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEM FOR ACHIEVING NOVEL CARBON NEUTRAL ENERGY COMMUNITIES
A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEM FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW ENERGY SOCIETY OF NEUTRALS WITH REGARD TO EMISSIONS OF COAL DIVERSITY
Program: Horizon 2020, Call: H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020, Topic: LC-SC3-ES-13-2020, Type of action: IA
Coordinator: University of Aalborg, Denmark
Consortium: 22 Partners from Denmark, Netherlands, Poland and India
Project objectives:
The overall objective of the SUSTENANCE project is to create new conceptual, design and technological solutions for sustainable energy systems that are carbon-neutral. The project focuses on the development of smart technology concepts and equipment to ensure green transformation of energy systems with a greater share of local renewable energy. Operational research on technology demonstrators designed and manufactured as part of the project takes place in four countries: Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and India.
The role of IMP PAN:
As part of the technology demonstration conducted in Poland in a multi-level residential building, measurements of operational characteristics will be carried out. Based on the results obtained, the hot water system will be optimised using an innovative air heat pump integrated into the local heat source. A hot water distribution and storage system will be designed and installed and the building's thermal node will be upgraded. In the field of metrological work, the concept of diagnostic method will be developed and a system of comprehensive acquisition of measurement data from equipment installed in the building, concerning temperature, flow and pressure will be implemented. The project is syndicated and IMP PAN is a partner in it. As part of the project, an innovative air-water heat pump will be installed, which will be responsible for the production of the building. This will eliminate the currently used gas stoves from the system. As part of the project, based on the experience of IMP PAN in the field of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, the thermal node in the building will be rebuilt. As part of the research work, the construction of a water heat storage facility will be analysed, which will simultaneously serve as a collector distributing heat. Due to the expected significant sizes (33 m high), an important element will be the system of monitoring the state of construction controlling key components of the warehouse. An important part of the project will be experimental research and analysis of the impact of speed, wind direction and air humidity on the operation of the heat pump condenser. An important aspect of the work will be determining the performance of heat pumps (temperature parameters, performance, vibration and noise) under variable operating conditions. The operation of the device under critical loads will also be tested. This involves performing appropriate strength analyses and calculations. The scope of work described above is mostly in the area of machine construction and operation research, heat exchange, structural strength, technical condition monitoring of construction and metrology, which position these works in the engineering discipline.
The project covers the following topics:
- the mechanics of the construction and basics of the machinery – in view of the need to calculate the strength elements for placing the heat pump on the supporting structure located on the roof structure, the analysis of the vibrations of the system, the construction of pipelines and collectors,
- fluid mechanics – due to the need for flow calculations in pump systems, heat exchangers and fluid flow in designed collectors/buffers,
- thermodynamics and heat exchange – due to the need to calculate the volume of buffers, the area of coils built in the tank and the heat exchange area in the heat pump and node installation,
- metrology – due to the need to design measurement and acquisition systems and statistical processing of data.
