Energy Supply Technology
Description
The current status of the so-called Clausthal Energy Park is as follows. From the beginnings of the project in 2000, the PV system on the building, the wood chip boiler including logistics and the heat pump can still be used. From other projects there is access to small CHP units and an absorption refrigeration plant. Meanwhile, the entire heat generation of the institute is provided from the energy park. A natural gas boiler, a natural gas CHP unit and a large thermal solar system are used for this purpose. The infrastructure has also been adapted accordingly. All systems are controlled via a control station. Current extensions include a redox flow battery and a fast charging station.
