Description du projet
Une énergie plus intelligente sur l’île de Borkum
Il y a des années, le projet d’une nouvelle centrale au charbon sur l’île de Borkum, en Allemagne, a suscité des préoccupations au sujet de la qualité de l’air, ce qui a abouti à la décision de décarboner complètement l’île à l’horizon 2030. Le projet ISLANDER, financé par l’UE, concevra un processus qui fera de Borkum un système insulaire énergétique totalement autonome et décarboné. Le projet s’attachera à mettre en place des systèmes distribués RESS (énergie renouvelable + stockage à petite échelle) et des systèmes complémentaires de stockage d’électricité et de thalassothermie urbaine, à grande échelle, de courte durée ou saisonnier. Il sera associé au stockage de la chaleur afin de tirer parti de la chaleur de l’eau de la mer du Nord en tant que source de chauffage et de refroidissement. ISLANDER fera également la démonstration du déploiement d’un réseau de recharge pour véhicules électriques, d’une plateforme informatique intelligente et d’un outil d’optimisation qui permettront de concevoir, de manière optimale, des systèmes énergétiques insulaires décarbonés.
Objectif
Borkum is an island of about 30 km2 and 5,500 residents, located 20 miles from the north-western coast of Germany. Following concerns of the population regarding air quality due to a new coal fired power plant, Borkum started on a path towards renewable energy many years ago. Following several initiatives in that direction including a citizen dialogue, the island decided to become emission-free and fully decarbonized by 2030.
Within this framework, the ISLANDER project will showcase the process of making Borkum a fully autonomous and decarbonised island energy system. Specifically, the project will focus on delivering:
a) Distributed RESS systems (Renewable Energy + Small-scale Storage).
b) Complementary short-to-seasonal, large-scale electricity storage.
c) Seawater district heating coupled with heat storage and sized for 100 residential units, to make use of the heat of the North Sea water as a source of heating and cooling.
d) Deployment of an EV charging network.
e) A smart IT platform conceived to holistically perform the optimal aggregation of all these components while also implementing Demand Response (DR).
f) An optimisation tool to optimally design zero-carbon island energy systems.
To achieve such 2030 objectives of financing and maintaining the further roll-out of renewables and storage technologies across the island, the ISLANDER partners will facilitate the kick-start of a Renewable Energy Community in Borkum right during the project following a concrete roadmap.
Additionally, and as part of an ambitious plan to replicate the project results, the partners have developed a 3-wave replication strategy including:
Wave 1) Replication in the Follower islands,
Wave 2) Replication in the related archipelagos.
Wave 3) Further replication to the rest of EU islands.
