SHIP4D project: Solar heat for decarbonisation

The SHIP4D project of the PEPR SPLEEN (Solar Heat for Decarbonisation) is still looking for an industrial partner willing to carry out a techno-economic and environmental case study.

Application deadline: 10 October

This case study should enable the design of a hybrid energy system capable of meeting the heating and electricity demand of an industrial site, giving priority to medium-temperature industrial processes (100-400 °C).

The following input data is required to carry out the case study:

Geographical location (solar resource), preferably in France

• Brief description of industrial processes carried out on site

Availability of land near the industrial site (roof or ground)

• Surface area (m²), orientation, inclination, diagrams

Energy consumption profile for heat and electricity

• Hourly resolution, data for one calendar year

• For heat: heat transfer fluid, flow rate (kg/s) and temperature levels (°C)

• For electricity: voltage level, consumption in MWh

Detailed description of existing energy infrastructure on site

• Access to the electricity and natural gas networks

• Existing means of production, e.g. gas boilers

• Provision of energy bills (electricity, natural gas)

• Electricity purchase and resale prices (€/MWh)

Natural gas purchase price (€/MWh)

• Fixed costs related to the site’s power capacity

This input data will enable preliminary sizing of a hybrid energy infrastructure, optimised for its Net Present Value (NPV), taking into account the specific constraints of the industrial site.

Subject to the signing of a confidentiality agreement between the parties, the data shared in this case study and the results obtained may be published in a scientific journal.
