Berlin-Köpenick, Germany
In Berlin-Köpenick heat and electricity are provided by two gas turbines,
three boilers, a CHP unit and a thermal solar system. Thus 48,5 MWth and
11,3 MWel is generated. The installation of the large heat pump with a
capacity of 1 MWth is planned for 2024. The LHP will be powered partly
by a PV plant. Heat sources will be solar heat, waste from oil cooler, gas
compressor and the CHP and additionally hot water from an air heat
pump. The energy of the different sources is collected and stored in two
7.500 Liter tanks to ensure a continuous supply of the LHP.
The heat is stored in another two 7.500 Liter tank to decouple the LHP from the
district heating network.
In the Real-World Laboratory the integration of the LHP in den district
heating network and the optimal application regarding grid friendliness
and economic efficiency is being investigated.
