Objective
To improve the energy supply situation of the island of Helgoland by a primary energy saving integrated energy supply system, making use of wind power and environmental heat.
The island of Helgoland is at present supplied with electricity, heat and drinking water by a steam turbine power plant consuming about 9000 t/year of heavy oil.
It is expected that the planned integrated energy supply system will only need 5220 t/year of heavy oil, especially by using wind power and heat from the environment.
The system comprises:
ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION : A 1.2 MWel wind power plant and 2 heavy oil diesel-generators cover the basic need for electricity. In case of low winds, the existing 5 diesel-generators are used to cover peak loads. They are also used in case of a breakdown of a heavy oil diesel-generator.
HEAT PRODUCTION : The island's basic need for heat is covered by the heat recovered from the cooling water of the heavy oil diesel-generators and all exhaust gases. In winter, 2 heat pumps of in total 2.2 MWth are operated for heating purposes, using sea-water as heat source. The remaining need for heat is covered by 2 heavy oil fired boilers.
DRINKING WATER PRODUCTION : This is done by a sea-water desalination plant applying the reverse osmosis process and using mainly the excess electric energy from the wind power plant. The total annual output of the system is 19.6 GWh of electricity, 40.5 GWh of heat and 180 000 m3 of drinking water. The wind power plant supplies up to 20% of annual electricity output.
