National development subsidies to CSHP in Dronninglund, Denmark

Through a research and development support of 11.9 mio. DDK, the Danish government pushes for CSHP with seasonal storage. In charge for the project is Planenergi, the most active consulting company in the business together with the plant owner, Dronningelund District Heating. The overall concept will be to use solar heating in combination with a large scale thermal storage and a heat pump. The collector area is planned to be approx. 35,000 square metres, a storage volume of 60,000 m³ and a heat pump with 3 MW effect.

The seasonal storage is planned as a pit water storage with floating lid, a well-known solution applied in the past.

The overall budget for the project is 80 mio. DDK or approx. 10.1 mio. Euros.

We keep an eye on this project at this blog.80

Online real time production data from Large Scale Solar Heating Plants

You are able to follow actual production data from large scale solar heating plants through at homepage. This gives you an idea of the performance for different plants at the same time, in real time . The texts are in Danish – however, the first value shows the actual production in kW, the second value shows the production per area and the third shows the actual solar irradiation.

Braendstrup large scale solar heating – co generation

The CSHP in Brandstrup is one of the very large plants at this time. The solar heating plant is connected to a co-generation plant, whereas other plants are connected to district heating plants with no production of electricity. Therefore the results of this plant is rather interesting to see.

The plant is presented at http://www.braedstrup-fjernvarme.dk/side1298.html (in Danish). The plant was taken into operation in 2007. It consists of 8,000 m² of solar panels. Guests are invited to visit the plant where a rest area is prepared to them.

3000 square meter solar plant in Hillerød

A new plant is placed north from Copenhagen in Hilleroed, more precise in Ulleroedbyen, a low energy building area. The plant is placed at the boundary of a motorway, not wasting too much agricultural land and acting as noise cover at the same time. The plant was raised in October 2007-2008.

The plant supplies a local district heating based on wood pallets for heating. The 240 panels of 12.58 m² are expected to produce a production of 37,500 MWh over the expected lifetime period of 25 years, saving the impact of 7,725 ton. CO

reduction through an investment of 6 mio. DDK, approx. 0.8 mio Euro.

Behind the Danish homepage http://www.solvarmecenter.dk, the consultant company PlanEnergi does present a large number of solar heating systems, large as small. The site is very beautiful and ought to get attention by the readers of this blog. Thanks to Jan Erik Nielsen from PlanEnergi Sealand. PS: Why do you not show actively, who’s behind this nice site?
