SMART Energy Supply

• Know and describe Smart City and visions for heating supply in the future over all energy systems
• Make calculations for assessment of a smaller town’s energy consumption for heating as well as assessment of power
• Plan and design elements in district heating and district cooling networks and know the relation between the temperature set and capacity of the supply system
• Know the differences and similarities as well as consequences for low temperature district heating compared to traditional high temperature district heating
• Describe relevant renewable energy systems such as solar collectar and solar heat reservoir in district heating systems and calculate the heat load and energy contribution of the district heating system
• Know and describe different types of heat pump’s and their operation and contribution to the district heating system / cooling system
• Calculate the steam compression heat pump power and energy consumption
• Have knowledge in planning and completion of the construction of the network and supply pipes extension
• Have knowledge on construction and insulation capacity of preinsulated pipes and assessment of energyprice compared to LCC for district heating pipes / district cooling pipes
• In collaboration with the group to make a conceptual design for a common energy supply to a smaller town and to present the solution.

Denmark’s supply systems for heating and electricity are being developed. Following the cut downs on fossil fuels, new supply strategies and technology applications in complex contexts are needed, and closely related to The 17 SDG’s Sustainable development Goals.
