Descrizione del progetto
Energia più intelligente sull’isola di Borkum
Anni fa, un progetto per un impianto idroelettrico a carbone sull’isola di Borkum, in Germania, ha sollevato preoccupazioni sulla qualità dell’aria, conducendo alla decisione di rendere l’isola completamente decarbonizzata entro il 2030. Il progetto ISLANDER, finanziato dall’UE, progetterà un processo per rendere Borkum un sistema di isola energetica completamente autonomo e decarbonizzato. Il progetto si concentrerà sull’introduzione di energia rinnovabile distribuita + sistemi di stoccaggio su piccola scala (RESS) e stoccaggio di elettricità su larga scala complementare da breve a stagionale, nonché riscaldamento urbano delle acque marine. Tutto questo sarà associato a stoccaggio del calore per sfruttare il calore dell’acqua del Mare del Nord come fonte di riscaldamento e raffreddamento. ISLANDER dimostrerà inoltre lo sviluppo di una rete di ricarica di veicoli elettrici, una piattaforma intelligente IT e uno strumento di ottimizzazione per progettare in modo ottimale sistemi di isole energetiche a zero emissioni di carbonio.
Obiettivo
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.
