Description du projet
Rendre les systèmes ORC plus efficaces et plus adaptables
Seize partenaires issus de dix pays collaboreront afin de démontrer le potentiel de la technologie du cycle organique de Rankine (ORC) aux fins de la récupération de la chaleur perdue dans tous les pans de l’industrie européenne. Le projet DECAGONE, financé par l’UE, mettra au point une technologie innovante permettant d’exploiter la chaleur résiduelle industrielle. Il rendra les systèmes ORC plus efficaces et plus rentables en plus d’accroître leur compatibilité avec un plus large éventail de secteurs. Cette étape est particulièrement importante compte tenu du fait qu’un tiers de l’énergie destinée aux processus thermiques industriels est perdue sous forme de chaleur résiduelle. Selon le projet, la production potentielle d’électricité à partir de cette ressource grâce à la pleine utilisation de la technologie ORC permettrait d’économiser environ 7,6 millions de tonnes d’équivalent CO2 par an au niveau européen.
Objectif
Energy efficiency of intensive industrial processes and particularly waste heat recovery technologies have been identified by international and regional organization like IEA, EU or ADEME in France as a major game changer for CO2 emissions reduction. The DECAGONE consortium led by ENERTIME proposes a project demonstrating the potential of ORC technology in waste heat-to-power conversion for self-consumption of industrial plants at a large industrial scale.
Targeting the waste heat potential of the company TŘINECKÉ ŽELEZÁRNY (mother company of partner Energetika Trinec), located in Czech Republic and historical manufacturer of iron & steel, the DECAGONE project will develop a an innovative ORC-based WHR system using enhanced capture designs and disruptive turbomachinery. The proposed hermetic turbogenerator design will run on innovative active magnetic bearings for increased compacity, higher availability and safety and cost reduction with near-zero maintenance. Dedicated studies improve organic fluids or mixtures for higher stability and improved transposability to other industries. The project will also provide advanced monitoring using innovative probes, IOT and machine learning algorithms for real-time efficiency improvement.
Within the scope of the project at 6 others significant industrial sectors will be evaluated in terms of potential market and transposability at the European scale (aluminum, gas-energy, oil&gas, glass, LNG and cogeneration). New financing and business models will also be investigated, supporting long term operations of the erected assets, coping with long-lasting and resilient industrial processes. The use of the ESCO model to contract, finance and operate energy efficiency facilities will be part of the Project preparing for the future operation of the facility by a specialized company. Lastly diffusion of good practices all over Europe will use European partners in the consortium in coordination with Regional energy agencies.
