Identification of Waste Heat Potentials and Their Integration Into a District Heating Subgrid
Abstract
The University Campus of Kassel is supplied by a district heating subgrid using district heating (DH) and a gas combined heat and power (CHP) unit. To make the transition to a climate neutral heat supply possible, the network temperatures need to be lowered and local renewable energy sources need to be integrated into the DH network. Waste heat potentials can play an important role here. Therefore, waste heat potentials from a data center, chillers and compressor units were investigated. The data center and chillers show high potential for an integration into the DH network.
