Abstract:
Different options are described for the energy infrastructure in the area'Land over de Waal', near Nijmegen, Netherlands, in which 11,200 new houses
are to be built. The aim of ECN is to assist in the political decision making
process. Five options have been compared with a reference technology. The
reference technology is a high efficiency boiler. The options are
respectively a gas engine with heat distribution, an individual electrical
heat pump with a gas burner for peak supply, an individual electrical heat
pump with electricity for peak supply, an electrical heat pump with heat
distribution and a natural gas fired heat pump with heat distribution. The
options were compared by means of an ECN-developed, so-called technological
framework. In this framework different options can be compared on the aspects
of primary energy use, CO2 emissions and acidifying emissions. Furthermore
costs are calculated, both for the households as well as for the distribution
company. An important parameter in these calculations is the reference system
to be used for determining the characteristics of electricity. The
calculations show that all options save energy, but that the amount of
savings very much depends on the characteristics of the installations and how
the system is dimensioned. The results also show that the options described
all are more expensive then the reference system. It has become clear that at
this moment the community council should not make the choice for one option
for the total area, but that the choice is made at the right time based on
the right information. 2 figs., 9 tabs.
