The EU supports the uptake of smart and low-temperature district heating and cooling (DHC) networks to speed up the process of decarbonisation and to achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2050 (European Green Deal). However, designing, planning, and building low-temperature DHC networks is not an easy task. The 5th generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) is a fundamentally new concept based on a decentralized network allowing direct energy flows among and within buildings, not requiring a central heat plant. To build 5GDHC network, it is important to know its specifications and technological components.
Have you already followed the Introduction course on 5th generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC)? And are you interested to continue and would like to find out what are the main components of the 5GDHC technology?
D2Grids project is providing such opportunity. Open Universiteit, together with other D2Grids partners (BRGM, VITO, Greenflex, Mijnwater), has developed a second course on 5GDHC with the focus on technology.
Inhoud
Content
The course offers theoretical video lectures spiced up with real examples from the project pilot sites. For enthusiastic and advanced learners, the course provides additional reading materials, developed within the project. The course participants can accomplish assignments to check their understanding of the materials. To share ideas and thoughts, a discussion group is available for the participants.
What will you learn in this training?
In this course you will learn about technological aspects of 5GDHC. This course will take you through the main 5GDHC components, including the sources, thermal storages, drilling aspects, heat pumps, pipes and smart controllers that can be used in 5GDHC.
