An interdisciplinary approach to improve heat decarbonization assessments at ...IEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes research presented at an ETSAP meeting on improving heat decarbonization assessments at the urban scale using an interdisciplinary approach. It describes a framework using optimization models, GIS data, and co-simulation of electricity and gas networks to develop energy scenarios and assess technology options for decarbonizing heat in urban areas. Case studies are presented on integrating solar PV and power-to-gas technologies into existing energy networks to increase renewable penetration while avoiding grid issues from overproduction or reverse power flows. The results indicate power-to-gas can help balance electricity networks but is limited by seasonal mismatches with gas networks and current technology penetration levels.
Residential heat pumps in the future Danish energy systemIEA-ETSAP
This document discusses the potential role of residential heat pumps in future Danish energy systems based on energy system modeling. Residential heat pumps are found to supply 66-70% of individual heating demands after 2035, representing 24-28% of total heat demand. While Denmark's energy system can function without heat pumps, total system costs would increase by 16% and biomass use by 70%. Sensitivity analysis shows that parameters like heat pump performance and potential heat savings warrant further exploration to fully understand the impacts of residential heat pumps. The modeling highlights their potential to contribute flexibility and reduce excess renewable electricity production.

A CHP plant is a power plant, which exploits the excess heat to produce district heat. So this power plant exploits the energy better than a normal power plant. Therefore a power plant delivers the needed energy to the society, by burning fuel, the CHP plant is converting thermal energy to electricity and district heat. This project contains an analysis of Fynsværkets block 7, which is located on Fyn, Denmark. Through the report there has been made calculations to give a possible buyer of block 7 an insight into how the block functions.
CHP plants are more spread in Denmark than the rest of the world. This is due to the need of district heat to the Danish houses, political decisions and because of the technology development and efficiency of the power plants. This however, will, not continue since the plan is to reduce the use of fossil fuels and that is why the use of power plants is slowly being phased out.
