Smart Integration of Waste and Renewable Energy for Sustainable Heat Upgrade in the Industry

SUSHEAT开发和验证了高达TRL 5的3项新的使能技术：高温热泵(HT-HP)、相变材料(PCM)生物灵感热能储存(TES)系统和控制与集成Twin(CIT)系统；用于顶级实验室的热升级。它将实现高达150-250°C的高效热升级，这要归功于创新的基于斯特林的HT-HP，它与氦一起工作，并扩大了热升级系统的工业可开发性，在温度比为1.2的情况下，COP高达2.8。创新的TES集成将确保可靠、灵活和可定制的供热，并与任何余热回收和可再生能源供应完全分离。此外，其CIT将为控制系统提供用户友好的工具和数字孪生兄弟，并基于智能决策算法为行业利益相关者提供建议。SUSHEAT将对最适合的热升级系统集成进行有效的自我评估，不仅包括其关键的使能部件，而且还利用非自带RE的装置，特别是太阳能集热器，甚至扩大了集中式太阳能发电系统的可行性，可以延长其在低温下运行的时间。在TRL5上重复了两个案例研究以进行验证，并对另外四个案例进行了深入分析，以涵盖纸浆和造纸、饮料、石化、纺织和皮革以及基本金属等其他行业。通过开发以行业为重点的自我评估工具，并直接接触不同的行业利益相关者，SUSHEAT将有助于确定将从这一概念中受益的目标工业流程和地点，提高行业对各种热升级好处的认识，并提供解决方案，以最大限度地提高工业效率，同时为该行业的脱碳做出贡献，将温室气体排放量减少至145gCO2/kWh(不包括太阳能贡献，并基于欧盟2020年的强度和天然气的使用)。欧盟2020强度和使用NG)。

SUSHEAT develops and validates, up to TRL 5, 3 novel enabling technologies: high-temperature heat pump (HT-HP), Phase Change Material (PCM) bio-inspired Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system, and Control & Integration Twin (CIT) system; for heat upgrade in top-level labs. It will attain an efficient heat upgrade up to 150-250 °C thanks to the use the innovative Stirling-based HT-HP, working with hellium and enlarging the industrial exploitability of heat upgrade systems, reaching a COP up to 2.8 for temperature ratios of 1.2. The integration of innovative TES will ensure a reliable, flexible, and customizable heat delivery with full decoupling from any waste heat recovery and renewables availability. Moreover, its CIT will provide user-friendly tools and a digital twin for the control system and advising industrial stakeholders, based on smart decision-making algorithms. SUSHEAT will bring an effective self-assessment of the most suited heat upgrade system integration including not only its key enabling components but, beyond, also leveraging on off the-self RES-based units, particularly solar thermal collectors even enlarging the feasibility of Concentrating Solar Power systems that can extend its operation working at low temperature. Two case-studies are replicated for validation at TRL5, and 4 additional cases are analysed in-depth to cover other sectors as Pulp & Paper, Beverages, Petrochemical, Textile & leather and basic metals. By developing industry-focused self-assessment tools, and directly engaging different industrial stakeholders, SUSHEAT will contribute to identify the target industrial processes and sites which would benefit from the concept, rising awareness of various heat upgrade benefits within the industry and providing solutions to maximize the industrial efficiency while contributing to the sector’s decarbonization, reducing the GHG emissions up to 145 gCO2/kWh (excluding solar contribution and based on EU 2020 intensity and the use NG).
