The project on energy supply modelling in cities aim to develop, model and evaluate scenarious of cities in order to increase efficiency and integration of systems while at the same time minimizing CO2 emissions and socioeconomic costs.
Denmark has established the target of becoming independent of fossil fuels in the electricity and heating sectors by 2035 and of becoming fully independent of fossil fuels on a net annual basis by 2050. Such targets can only be met with a strong policy making, not only on a national level but also on more local administration levels. Most municipalities in Denmark have established their own vision and targets for making their energy systems more sustainable. Among these is the municipality of Sønderborg
in Southern Denmark, which is used as a case in this solution project.
Further description and insights into the project is coming soon.
The project solution on smart control of houses involves cloud-based solutions, data analytics, energy systems integration and smart buildings research. Further description and insights into the project is coming soon. In the meantime please read more here
Electricity prices and wind power production have a large impact on the production of district heating in Denmark. Researchers at DTU have made a smart-decision making tool; helping district-heating suppliers to choose the right kind of heat production technology at the right time and buy or sell electricity at the right prices.
New CITIES demonstration project explores how much energy it saves by connecting an absorption chiller to district heating as a green alternative to traditional air conditioning, e.g. in server rooms. — There are not much ‘sales’ in district heating in the summer at the several hundred district heating companies in Denmark. A test with flexible …
