Editor's Notes
- This presentation is about the smart grid opportunities for a combined heating and refrigeration cycle applied in food retail applications. The potential of adding the flexibility of supermarkets to a smart grid network is outlined as well as the potential of utilisation of unused compressor capacity. In connection with external thermal networks a functional storage opportunity for renewable energy sources like wind is shown viable and backed up by a new case study. The business implications of connecting the supermarket to the district heating are briefly outlined.
- In a larger scale perspective, connecting supermarkets to external thermal networks and utilizing the fluctuating renewable electricity can provide a large heat contribution. Germany has a food retail outlet area of 30 mill m2. Assuming this area to represent an equivalent opportunity to export heat to the DH grid would mean that around 6 TWh of heat could be delivered – just based on the waste heat itself. If 50% of the excess and today unused compressor capacity could be used an additional 8 TWh heat would be the result or more than 7 % of today’s heat provided by the German CHP plants [4] .
