The Challenge


All district heating systems require an ‘anchor load’ that provides enough consistent demand to justify the installation. Once an anchor load has been established, the energy centre can be networked to accommodate neighbouring customers.

 

The Results

  • 3.5 MW Low Carbon District Heating Energy Centre
  • 25% reduction in CO2 emissions / 500 tonnes per year
  • 2019 Winner of the Low Carbon Award at the Scottish Green Energy
  • Reduced pressure of fuel poverty
  • Dundee positioned as a UK leader in sustainable innovation


The Solutions


After establishing the anchor load at the City’s new Regional Performance Centre for Sport (RPCS) in Caird Park, a Ground Source Heat Pump with Combined Heat & Power (CHP) engine and rooftop solar array were installed. This complementary system offers maximum effi ciency by using available renewable energy sources, and redirecting waste thermal energy as needed. Comprised of 120 bore holes drilled 200 metres below the RPCS Velodrome, the GSHP is currently Scotland’s largest geothermal array.


The Competitive Advantages

  • Energy security and supply resilience
  • Reduced operating costs
  • Decarbonisation in line with the National Grid
  • Enhanced capacity to connect with new installations and emergent technologies
