Descripción del proyecto
Sistema de suministro de energía innovador para edificios multifamiliares energéticamente autosuficientes
Los edificios multifamiliares pueden mejorar su potencial de reducción de emisiones mediante la adopción de sistemas eficientes de suministro de energía. Teniendo esto en cuenta, en el proyecto Micro-Bio-CHP, financiado con fondos europeos, se desarrollará un sistema innovador basado en fuentes de energía renovable para el suministro de calor y electricidad en pos de lograr edificios multifamiliares casi energéticamente autosuficientes. Su equipo combinará una tecnología innovadora y muy eficiente de microgeneración termoeléctrica (CHP, por sus siglas en inglés) de biomasa basada en un gasificador de flujo ascendente, un nuevo sistema de depuración de gas, una pila de combustible de óxido sólido y un sistema fotovoltaico, así como tecnologías innovadoras de almacenamiento de energía. Este sistema será económicamente atractivo para los usuarios futuros y dará lugar a unas emisiones casi nulas de CO, carbono orgánico gaseoso y polvo, así como a una reducción de las emisiones de NOx del 55 % al 65 % en comparación con otras tecnologías de CHP de biomasa.
Objetivo
The project aims at the development of an innovative RES-based system for heat and electricity supply in order to achieve an almost energy autonomous multi-family building with regard to heating and electricity consumption as well as electro-mobility. This shall be achieved by integrating a novel highly efficient biomass micro-CHP technology based on an updraft gasifier, a new gas cleaning system and a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), a state-of-the-art PV system and appropriate innovative energy storage solutions. This system shall be economically highly attractive for future users and it shall also distinguish itself by virtually zero emissions of CO, OGC and dust as well as 55% to 65% reduced NOx emissions compared to other biomass CHP technologies. Consequently, it shall increase the penetration of RES on the multi-family house level and has the potential to significantly contribute to reaching the EU climate and clean air goals.
The key innovations of the project are related to the novel micro-scale biomass CHP system. They comprise a flexible partitioning of product gas supplied to the SOFC and to a gas burner in order to cover the overall heat demand and to maximise SOFC operation at the same time, a novel combined thermal and catalytic tar reformer, new highly efficient and durable stack units and a novel compact SOFC system with integrated HCl and H2S removal reactor. Based on a 2.5 kWel SOFC with an electric efficiency of 44%, which is flexibly coupled with a 14 kW gasifier, overall efficiencies of more than 90% shall be gained. A TRL of 5 shall be achieved at the end of the project.
The methodology applied to reach these goals relies on technology development tasks (based on process simulations, CFD aided design of the single units, test plant construction, performance and evaluation of test runs), a technology assessment part covering risk, techno-economic, environmental and overall impact assessments as well as targeted dissemination activities.
