The study proposed waste heat recovery as a promising solution, comparing it to domestic heat pumps through analysis. Experimental results indicate that waste heat recovery can reduce fossil fuel use and show that local grid limitations are a bottleneck for the feasibility of domestic heat pumps.
The planning of energy infrastructures in new districts often follows the practice adopted for the rest of the city. In Stockholm, district heating is a common solution for multi-apartment neighborhoods. Recently, because of an average clean electricity mix, heat pumps have gained interest. However, European studies suggest to limit the reliance on electrification to avoid an extreme demand increase. Thus, an effort is required to improve the environmental impact of alternative options. This study proposes waste heat recovery in low temperature networks as a promising solution. By means of a technoeconomic and environmental analysis, this option is compared to domestic heat pumps. A new approach is proposed to combine a district level perspective with simulation tools able to capture sector coupling interactions. Scenarios, for a real neighborhood, assess waste heat recovery potential and electricity grid loading status. Results show that a waste heat recovery capacity equal to 10% of the peak load can reduce fossil fuel use of 40%. Local grid limitations are shown to be a bottleneck for the feasibility of domestic heat pumps. Their heat generation cost is 28% higher than for district heating. The carbon footprint is strongly dependent on the emission factor of the electricity mix (+11%/-24%). (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
