Solutions for generating energy in industry, commerce and local authorities

Applications that are highly energy intensive need innovative heating solutions. Viability studies show that there is considerable potential for energy savings to be made in new installations and modernisation projects alike, in terms of heating energy and process heat potential which has hitherto been scarcely realised. Viessmann's highly efficient heating systems achieve even greater savings the higher the energy requirement, in other words, in commercial operations and industrial buildings, as well as in office blocks, hotels, clinics and schools. Even in the short term, the signicant efficiency differentials between the new system and its predecessor have resulted in remarkable savings in terms of energy consumption and costs. Payback periods are similarly short. Viessmann offers industry, commerce and local authorities perfectly matching system solutions. The focus here is on renewables that cover base load and which are combined with peak load boilers that operate with fossil fuels. So as to ensure everything works together perfectly to achieve maximum efficiency, all system components are assembled according to individual requirements.

Four double ame tube boilers for power, steam and hot water that supply an industrial estate

International energy concern, Sembcorp Utilities, provides a steam output of up to 60t/h for several chemical companies on an industrial/commercial estate. HKB, one of the Viessmann Group companies, was the general contractor responsible for the construction of the steam boiler plant in 2009 in the British town of Wilton. Due to industrial requirements, four Vitomax D HS double ame tube boilers were installed, each with a steam output of 30t/h. Two of these are kept for redundant backup. Subject to design, these boilers deliver saturated or hot steam at a rate of 12 to 58t/h as well as warm or hot water from 10 to 38MW. For even greater efficiency, an economiser can be installed downstream of the boiler, as an option. It utilises the waste heat to heat the feed or return water, thereby reducing energy bills.

Expansion of green energy Sembcorp customers are mainly to be found in the chemical and petro-chemical sectors; some are also active in the biofuel and recycling industries. Sembcorp takes account of this development and is continuously expanding its range of green energy generated from sustainable fuel. Plant overview Boiler type Fuel type Steam output Fresh steam temp.

"The plant was completed within deadline. The location of the site near a harbour made shipping by sea viable. Numerous boiler components were already factory-tted, and their perfect function had been tested by HKB at the works. Our customers now have a powerful energy system that can cope with additional load peaks that may occur without straining. For this purpose, a reserve capacity of 60t/h was provided that acts as redundant capacity for service periods. This guarantees 100percent of the energy provision of the associated enterprises at all times."

CHP units for power supply and air conditioning in office complexes

The energy centre at the Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (DGUV) in St.Augustin near Bonn was hopelessly outdated: The six hot water boilers for generating heat dated back to the early 1980s. The refrigeration plants that provided air conditioning and cooling of the IT centre consumed way more energy than the current average. Combined heat and power pays for itself Following initial plans for a replacement of the energy equipment for the 160m2 large computer centre, it soon became apparent that the deployment of a CHP unit would, in may ways, pay for itself. Firstly, by combining heat and power generation (CHP) and secondly, because the CHP unit can cover the power supply, primarily that of the computer centre, in the case of a mains failure. From a small to a big solution These factors made a persuasive case for extending the original plans to the extent that cover was provided for the entire DGVU, which has a oor space of 80,000m2. The CHP unit is at its most economical and offers the most rapid amortisation rate because it is in use for more than 7000 hours annually; this brings benets in reduced fossil fuel and electricity costs.

The nal decision lead to the building of a new office and technology suite. The energy centre, including ve Vitobloc 200 CHP units, was accommodated in the basement. The generated power is used in the building itself. The mains substitution management system this requires is provided by the Viessmann multi module management system300. The heat generated from the CHP unit is mainly used for operating absorption refrigeration machines and heating the building. If required, the Vitoplex300 low temperature boiler supplies additional heat. Plant overview Combined heat and power station Low temperature boiler Fuel type

Positive result for the operators thanks to the combined heat and power installation
"Our viability study made the key difference for the clients to decide in favour of replacing the old heating centre with six boilers and a cooling centre with three refrigeration units with a new energy centre with trigeneration. Positive for the environment, as CO2 reductions of almost 5000 tonnes were achieved. The operator benets from a full maintenance contract and a rapid payback time of only ten years, since the power generated by the CHP units signicantly reduced operating costs, i.e. compared to conventional technology by more than 100,000 per annum."

The total of 8500kW are generated by a Pyroex wood combustion system with 3300kW and a Vitobloc 200 combined heat and power unit with 200kW. The power generated by the CHP unit amounts to 140kW. This is partially used to cover demand

on site in the heating station. Waste heat from the engine is fed into the local heating network. The use of an economiser (exhaust gas heat exchanger) with 260kW output helps to achieve a boiler efficiency in excess of 90percent. A local business supplies woodchips for the wood combustion system from the region. Over 80percent of the energy demand is covered by wood fuel.

Installation of the ORC turbine in the district heating plant in Olang, South Tirol, Italy

Clean and largely maintenance-free technology was required for the construction of the district heating station in Olang, South Tirol. The overriding goal was a secure heat provision with minimum personnel costs. For this, Mawera supplied two woodchip boilers with a total of 8MW output. A third boiler also generates power by heating thermal oil in an ORC system (Organic Ranking Cycle). The

steam generated as part of this process drives a turbine that generates power. Waste heat is "recycled" via a heat exchanger with 3.9MW output, which is also delivered into the district heating network. By now, 620 consumers have been connected to the network including many households as well as a school, swimming pool, church and other public facilities.

Bio-Wrme Grfelng Multi mode heating centre for local heating supply

The heating centre at Bio-Wrme Grfelng GmbH meets all the demands for quality, efficiency and optimum interaction between all of the modules. A long service life and ease of maintenance were particular areas of consideration. Both of these factors make a signicant contribution to the continuous, yet economical, operation of the plant, which stands at more than 8000 hours per year. The Pyroex boiler used here is notable for the minimal demands it makes of its fuel Material with a water content of up to w60 can be combusted reliably and cleanly. The boiler's modulating operating mode matches the system output to the actual heat demand. If required, a Vitomax200 peak load boiler is started as well.

The aim is to generate energy exclusively with sustainable fuel. The business was founded in 2009 in order to build a combined heat and power station in Grfelng, Bavaria, red exclusively with woodchips. Partners in this venture are a local business and an energy supply utility. The total investment outlay to date is around 4million. With its capacity of just about 400m3, the woodchip store has been sized so that it needs to be topped up just once every week, under normal operating conditions. The push rod discharge pushes the fuel automatically via a conveyor into the Pyroex boiler, where the woodchips are burned at around 950C almost without leaving any residue.

"An important prerequisite for the project was the use of a fully automatic plant that could be operated with the minimum number of man-hours possible. Combining the woodchip and peak load boilers meets that requirement. Only once a week, an employee checks the heating station, to empty the ash container for example. All vital information concerning consumption, boiler temperature and the water, in both 30m3 larger storage cylinders as well as the return temperature, can be checked via the internet, which also enables the plant to be controlled."

Lotte World Tower Seoul: Natural heat for modern architectural concepts

A skyscraper of truly superlative dimensions is currently under construction in the South Korean capital Seoul the 555 m high Lotte World Tower. On completion, this tower will accommodate various residential and commercial areas as well as a hotel with 123 oors above and six below ground. This structure is one of the most ambitious projects when it comes to the environmentally responsible generation of energy in high-rise buildings. Twelve large KWT heat pumps will provide the renewable part of the building's heating and air conditioning supply. Six brine/ water heat pumps, each with 1.7MW heating output and 1.9MW cooling capacity, will be supplied by 720geothermal probes sunk 200m into the ground. Ground probes have already been inserted as part of the ground works. River water for air conditioning In addition, six water/water heat pumps will be installed, each with 2MW heating output and 1.7MW cooling capacity. The latter will use water from the river Han that runs past the tower.

The river water is initially ltered and then channelled through a heat exchanger outside of and separate from the heat pumps. This transfers the heat to a brine mixture and transports it to the heat pump. This intermediate step ensures that only clean water ows through the evaporator, thereby ensuring the high operational reliability of the heat pumps. The total installed heating output amounts to 22.2MW and the cooling capacity to 20.4MW. The heating centre of this installation covers an area of around 8000square metres. Control centre All heat pumps will be operated in a cascade, which is controlled by a higher ranking control centre. Completion of the Lotte World Tower is scheduled for 2015.

Reliability and experience count

"The Lotte Group started planning this extraordinary building project for the Korean capital Seoul some years ago. Since 2008, statutes demand that in new buildings, 5% of building costs must be invested in renewables. The high-rise design meant that solar thermal systems could only be utilised to a limited extent, as the required surface areas were simply not available. As a result, the decision makers for this building favoured the deployment of heat pumps. In KWT, they found a reliable and experienced partner. For a project of this magnitude, close contacts and personal relationships are essential. Building the Lotte Tower helped to revitalise the Korean construction sector."

A special feature of this refrigeration machine operated with solar thermal energy is, that the collectors provide most heat in high summer, when lots of energy is required for cooling. The Fraunhofer Institute for solar energy systems discovered that the refrigeration machine can operate under full load on the 100 days each year that experience most insolation. Per year, the solar thermal system should deliver a heat yield of 400kW/m2. Excess heat during spring and autumn that is not required for cooling, can be fed into the heating system.

Wettesingen bioenergy village: Power and heat for 200 households

Following successful preliminary feasibility and feasibility studies and an economic viability check, Viessmann has developed a bioenergy village for the community of Wettesingen in Breuna, near Kassel. In late 2012, construction of the local heating network began, which was to supply around 200households with heat from renewables. 100percent renewable As 100percent of its heat supply comes from renewables, Wettesingen is currently the only bioenergy village in Germany (as of March 2013). The local heating network pipeline is ten kilometres long in total. All the technology used comes from Viessmann's comprehensive product range. The existing biogas plant was extended to include a further CHP unit, three wood combustion systems and a biogas boiler. The overall thermal output is approximately 2600kW, while the electrical output is 900kW.

30percent lower heating costs The price for heating in the Wettesingen bioenergy village is based on all investment and running costs. Compared to the costs for individual heating systems that use fuel oil, the community's heat supply is now around 30percent cheaper. Since the prices of oil and gas can be expected to continue to rise, the price benet will become even greater in future. Project partner Viessmann Right from the start, Viessmann was part of the project team. The Viessmann team accompanied the village community as it took its rst steps towards becoming a bioenergy village. This includes studies that check, at various levels of detail, the feasibility of the concepts and their economic viability. In this area, Viessmann's project development department can provide valuable support. Moreover, local design engineers are drawn into the discussions too. As a professional partner, Viessmann has all the knowledge needed for project coordination, system technology and system construction.

Biogas plant Stoke Bardolph, Great Britain

The British water utility Severn Trent Water supplies its eight million customers with two billion litres of drinking water every year. For this, some 900 GWh of power are drawn from the public grid, which costs the utility around 58 million. To reduce its costs and dependence on the power supply utilities, Severn Trent Water built Britain's rst industrial biogas plant in Stoke Bardolph. The required biomass is harvested from elds that are not able to be used for the cultivation of plants for consumption on account of their natural

mineral concentration. The biogas is consumed by two Vitobloc CHP units, each with an output of 1MW. The resulting electrical and thermal energy is used by the adjacent sewerage plant for treating water. Excess electrical energy is exported to the public grid. As a result of this power generated on site, drawings from the power supply utility were able to be reduced by 20percent in the rst year.
