CHP LOW TEMPERATURE HEATING, INTELLIGENT CONTROL AND ENERGY SAVINGS FOR STONE STREET, NEWCASTLE

Obiettivo

The heating and DHW demand for the Stone Street scheme with 351 flats and 24,600 m2 floor area will be lowered by 44%, and Danish heating technology with individual heat metering and DHW production will be introduced instead of an ineffective electrical heating system. Besides a combined heat and power system (CHP) with a 290 kWe gas engine generator is introduced as something completely new for this purpose in Britain. And a new type of intelligent energy management system is introduced to establish a continuous survey of the tenants heat meters as basis of producing bills for heat and to obtain an optimal operation of the CHP-plant in co-operation with the local electricity utility.
The total effect of energy savings and the CHP-plant is a 76% reduction of energy use, where coal-based heating is transferred into gas-based heating.

North British Housing Association, NBHA will co-operate with the KAB Building Society and CENERGIA Energy Consultants from Denmark which have more than 10 years experience from several, often EEC supported, low energy housing projects in Denmark, of which two utilise local combined heat and power generation.
The aim is to demonstrate that susbtantial savings of fuel and heating and DHW demands are possible when the investments to obtain these are optimised all the way to the used fuel and local combined heat and power production is introduced.
To demonstrate the maximum effect of such a total energy design, an existing housing scheme in Newcastle with a poor heating standard and a poor heating system has been chosen.
The heating and DHW demand for the Stone Street scheme with 351 flats and 24,600 m2 floor area will be lowered by the most economical measures by 44%, and Danish developed low temperature district heating technology with individual heat metering and DHW production will be introduced instead of an ineffective electrical heating system. Besides a combined heat and power system (CHP) with a 290 kWe gas engine generator and a 40 m3 buffer storage tank is introduced as something completely new for this purpose in Britain. And a new type of intelligent energy management system is introduced to establish a continuous survey of the tenants heat meters as basis of producing bills for heat and to obtain an optimal operation of the CHP-plant in co-operation with the local electricity utility.
The total effect of energy savings and the CHP-plant is a 70% reduction of energy use, where coal-based heating is transferred into gas-based heating.
(4070 MWh gas is used instead of 13,500 MWh coal for electricity, assuming 33% efficiency of normal power plant).
Calculations show that it is possible to achieve a 8.5 years payback time including grants from the EEC. With a 20% and a 50% increase in energy costs in5-15 years to take into account possible future CO2taxes from the EEC, and with a future 10 and 20% construction cost reduction, the future payback time will be 10 and 7.3 years respectively without EEC-funding.
