Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

As part of the IEA ECB Annex 64, Low Exergy Communities, we investigate distributed heating and cooling systems using large campus infrastructures as baselines. The Princeton University system serves as a baseline with a 15 MW combined heat and power facility that supplies heating in winter and cooling in summer. This paper as- sesses a low temperature hot water combined heat and power system and a geothermal system as two alternatives to the current system. The heating period of 2013/2014 is investigated. To assess the primary energy and exergy input required to meet the campus heating demand of 132.8 GWh, the existing system and a theoretical geothermal system are modelled using the MATLAB/Simulink based toolbox CARNOT. The combined heat and power system needs 338.1 GWh of exergy to meet the heat demand and to produce 63.1 GWh of electricity. The geothermal system only needs 219.6 GWh of exergy to meet the heating demand and to provide the same amount of electricity using the electricity grid. The energy efficiency of both investigated systems is equal, but one third of the geothermal system’s energy input is renewable geothermal heat. Also, the exergy efficiency of the geothermal system is 30.7 %, whereas the combined heat and power system has an exergy efficiency of only 19.9 %.
