Intelligent CHP at Glood: Combination with Heat Pump and Power-to-Heat in a District Heating System.

Over the past few decades, combined heat and power (CHP) generation has become an efficient decentralised energy supply due to its ability deliver a wide array of projects in a multitude of fuels. Large-scale systems producing multiple megawatts
to be fed into vast heating networks, reduce the energy costs of an industrial complex, or in the form of systems with an output of a few hun[1]dred kilowatts to supply properties – all can be delivered through the technology of cogeneration. Then there is the heat pump – a technology for the highly efficient transformation of electricity into heat that is currently experiencing a massive boost in popularity across its output categories. Many pin their hopes on the heat pump technology to drive the urgently needed decarbonisation of the heating markets forward, especially when it comes to policy changes. The discussion around the two technologies was traditionally dominated by the dilemma of choosing one over the other. However, a growing number of successful projects shows just how false the dilemma really is: The most efficient solution is a combination of cogeneration and heat pumps. In the video you can see how efficient linking can contribute to achieving climate protection and security of supply.
