SEGC - Smart Energy Green Cities

The project will realize a "Smart Energy" initiative in Avedøre called Green City Avedøre, as well as a number of other Smart Energy initiatives, such as in Køge Nord at the new station on Ringstedbanen, Bærebo in Vinge, Kyndby Huse in area 4 and an energy supply solution for a new residential area with heat pumps in Værløse.

A central point for the proposed efforts is the ATES technology (groundwater heating and cooling technology in interaction with heat pumps). This will interact with the use of very innovative heating and cooling technologies, new ways of implementing district heating solutions that can also use surplus heat and solar heat simultaneously, and local building-integrated solar cell systems that can provide green power to meet parts of the total electricity demand. Finally, it's noteworthy that other types of heat storage as well as batteries will be used as well.

Practical measurement results will be collected and disseminated where possible, also in comparison with performance documentation from the use of more common heat pump solutions, such as air source heat pumps.
