1 Dronninglund Fjernvarme World (3.) largest solar powerplant for district heating Manager Johan Frey

2 Dronninglund Fjernvarme Started ,350 houses, population people. Approximately 50 kilometer of pipes. Annual production of 40,000 MWh. Turnover approx. 4 mill.. According to Danish law, you cannot make a profit from selling heat. Owned and operated by the customers.

3 Production plants Combined heat & power: Four gas Engines 3.6 MW power, 6.4 MW heat. Two gas boiler. One with associated absorption heat pump. One bio-oil boiler. 37,573 m 2 solar panels, approx. Many different forms of produktion. Then we can select the cheapest for the day.

4 Why the solar powerplant? In 2006 we had to find replacement for two oilboilers, so the customers instructed the Board that: The new powerplant should not result in increasing the price of heating. 50% phase-out of fossil fuels in the first phase. In the long run up to 100% phase-out of fossil fuels National goals: Heat produktion fosil free in 2035 All energy fosil free in 2050)

5 The incentives in year 2006 was: High taxes on natural gas. App. same level as the gas price itself. No tax on solarenergy. Not allowed to use biomass at naturalgas fired plants. The municipality dicedes which area can use which fuel. Saved CO 2 quotes could be sold.

26 4th Generation District Heating (4GDH) So far we have focused on how we produced the heat in a central way. Not so much on how we distributed it. And hardly no focus on the houseinstallations. The fourth generation district heating system creates synergies between the district heating network, the network components, house installation, district heating production and system integration. 4GDH systems and technologies will play a big part in future cost-effective sustainable energy systems and are likely to replace the import of fossil fuels and create jobs and economic growth in Denmark and in Europe.

27 Heat Roadmap Europe 4 Heat Roadmap Europe 4 is a Horizon 2020 funded research project, with a consortium of 23 partners and will be running from 2016 until Its main goal is to study the heating and cooling sector in Europe by quantifying the effects of increased energy efficiency on both the demand and supply side, in terms of energy consumption, environmental impacts and costs. "The overall aim in HRE4 is to develop low-carbon heating and cooling strategies, which are called Heat Roadmaps, and subsequently to quantify the impact of implementing them at a national level for 14 EU Member States
