Heat is stored in a 10.000 m3 reservoir, providing a<br>thermal capacity of around 300 MWhth. The district heating network is 120 km<br>long and supplies approximately 440 GWhth per year at a supply temperature of<br>up to 115\u00b0C.<br>The newly installed heat pump uses the waste heat from the CHP charge-air<br>coolers. The LHP has a thermal nominal power of 1,2 MWth, employs a<br>reciprocating compressor and ammonia as a refrigerant. It converts hot water at<br>a temperature of about 50 \u00b0C to 85 \u00b0C hot water to increase the return flow of<br>the district heating network.<br>In the Real-World Laboratory the integration of the LHP in the district heating<br>network and the optimal application regarding grid friendliness and economic<br>efficiency is being investigated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><a href=\"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2024\/12\/two-pager-task-2-germany-district-heating-plant-berlin-neukolln.pdf\">Two page summary<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Berlin-Neuk\u00f6lln, Germany The Neuk\u00f6lln district heating plant provides heat and electricity using a range offuels: Natural gas, fuel oil, wood&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","filters":[92,85,95],"markets":[23],"applications":[42,39],"class_list":["post-751","case_studies","type-case_studies","status-publish","hentry","filters-central-hp-and-dh","filters-germany","filters-in-operation","markets-germany","applications-cities-communities","applications-system-integration-flexibility"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case_studies"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":752,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/751\/revisions\/752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"filters","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filters?post=751"},{"taxonomy":"markets","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets?post=751"},{"taxonomy":"applications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/applications?post=751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
