System integration of geothermal heat plant in high-temperature district heating system - technical and economic issues
The SET_HEAT_CHP project concerns the deployment of an integrated hybrid heat‑recovery and heat‑pump system. The intervention targets low‑temperature (LT) and medium‑temperature (MT) waste‑heat streams originating from gas‑engine cogeneration units and couples them with high‑efficiency industrial heat pumps to increase the usable share of renewable and waste‑heat sources in district heat supply.
The document presents the technical pre-feasibility study for integrating air source heat pumps (ASHPs) and a 3,000 m³ thermal storage tank into the Naujoji Vilnia district heating (DH) system in Vilnius, Lithuania. The project supports the LIFE22-CET-SET_HEAT initiative aimed at accelerating energy transition and decarbonisation of district heating systems.
The SET_HEAT_LAKE project aims to demonstrate a viable pathway toward decarbonisation of Bucharest’s centralised district heating system by replacing fossil‑fuel-based heat generation with renewable heat derived from Lake Morii through a large-scale lake-water-source heat pump system.
The study explores the integration of a wastewater-source heat recovery system into the district heating network (DHN) of Opole, Poland. It demonstrates how municipal wastewater infrastructure can be coupled with district heating to create a circular, low-emission, and energy-efficient urban energy system.
