Investigating a Multivalent Plant System for Laurichhof
By dynamically simulating the planned energy concept for Laurichhof, EA Systems supported building services planners in sizing and operating the multivalent plant system. In particular, considering storage units (ice storage, thermal storage) in combination with solar collectors proved to improve efficiency.
Our Services
- Review and modeling of the planned plant concept
- Comparison of sizing alternatives for solar collectors and ice storage
- Control strategy design based on coupled simulation of plant equipment and loads (heating, cooling, electricity)
Our Solutions
- Sizing decision for ice storage and solar collectors
- Baseline data for economic assessment (average annual consumption and yields for energy carriers)
- Control specifications for storage (domestic hot water, ice storage, thermal storage) and plant controls
