Abstract:
In this report, the simulation results for the energy system of a districtcontaining 1300 houses is presented. The starting points for these calculations
are the electricity and heating demand patterns based on the 'city of
the sun', a planned residential area in Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands.
The main focus is concentrated on the possibility of using hydrogen
as an alternative energy carrier in future districts. The results are
compared to a number of other reference concepts. These concepts use
natural gas or electricity as the main energy carrier.
The influence of the primary or secondary energy carrier (natural gas,
electricity and hydrogen) on the CO2-emissions, the cost
and the primary energy consumption is considered. Components in the
corresponding design of the energy system included buffers, fuel cells,
burners and heat pumps.
