HOT|COOL NO. 2/2020 - "Decarbonizing"

The future Peak Load Stations The future PLS must be CO 2 neutral, fast response, cheap in investment, and, as the full-load operation hours are low, the variable production cost is of minor interest.

Graphical presentations of the technologies are shown in the diagram - they are all possible CO 2 neutral solutions. The horizontal axis shows the estimated operations hours on full load and the vertical axis the estimated total expenses pr. installed capacity. As peak load stations in CTR’s system typically operate below 500 hours pr. year, electrical driven boilers and bio-gas boilers will be the cheapest solutions. More energy-efficient heat pumps need more operating hours to be economical

THE LIFECYCLE OF A PLS IS 30-50 YEARS AND CTR ARE CONVERTING STATIONS TO BE CO 2 NEUTRAL IN 2025 Since 2018 CTR has a 40 MJ/S electrical boiler in operation in Gentofte. By the end 2020 another electrical boiler station, containing

two 40 MJ/s heaters, will be in operation in Gladsaxe. INVESTMENT SHARE OF COST IN THE GLADSAXE PLS: • Electrical heaters: 25% • Electrical connections: 40% • District heating connections: 35%
