The Chairmans column By Mr. Hans Bjrn, Managing Director, TVIS, and Chairman of DBDH
What just happened
at the end of 2009?
How could an unpre-
cedented number of
133 global leaders in one
place altogether pass
up the golden opportu-
nity to reach consensus
on global climate issues
with imminent devastating
environmental and human
consequences if no joint action is taken now!? What a
political legacy they could have secured. Our planet is overheat-
ing and Copenhagen in December 2009 was the venue under
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) for global leaders discussing a joint strategy combat-
ing the man-made climate changes.
The poor result titled the Copenhagen Accord is ambiguous and
has little clear guidance or consensus on the way forward. The
only tangible result is that the increase in global temperature
should (why not must?) be below 2 degrees Celsius. The issues
of financing and who must carry the biggest responsibility were
two destructible issues for consensus. But as Winston Churchill
said: Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage
to continue that counts. And we need to continue pushing for a
more ambitious climate agenda with or without global consensus.
Perhaps a global price on CO2 could solve this dead-lock?
At the DBDH Members Meeting on 4 February , Klaus Bondam
the former Mayor for Environment and Infrastructure in
Copenhagen, and host for the Climate Summit for Mayors
during the COP15, pointed to a great momentum among cities
around the world. It was clear from his presentation supported
by vibrant anecdotes from the Hopenhagen event that cities
organized under C40, ICLEI and Eurocities all have ambitious tar-
gets well knowing that around 80 % of all CO2 emissions stems
from cities. You can find the current 3,223 city commitments
from around 60 countries at www.climate-catalogue.org. Let me
also kindly with two short examples put things into perspective
emphasizing the growing importance of cities. Tokyos economy
equals the economy of Canada. And there are far more people
in So Paolo alone than in the Scandinavian countries.
No doubt that countries, actually 55 in total that account for
78 % of global emissions, also have an ambitious agenda coping
with the challenges of global warming and the daunting natural
derivatives like drought, floods, sea water level rising and just
more extreme weather in general. On 1st of February UNFCCC
released the list of national pledges to cut and limit green house
gas emissions by 2020. The major challenge is, however, that
these pledges are neither legally binding nor financed. Moreover,
you might add, these targets set out by nations do NOT keep
the global temperature below the irreversible tipping point of 2
degrees Celsius. In fact we are overshooting the required global
GHG emissions target by between 3-5 GT equaling an apparent
global increase in the temperature of 3.5 degrees. Added to this,
the set out required resources of USD 250 billion per annum
from 2020 for adaptation and mitigation dont seem realistic
to reach by the committed amount of only USD 100 billion. This
is simply offensive.
One would by now not only feel frustrated but almost paralyzed
even despaired. Fortunately this seemingly irresolvable situ-
ation is in fact solvable. Martin Lidegaard former Member of
the Danish Parliament and today Chairman of the green think-
tank CONCITO recommended at our Members Meeting to split
the approach in two phases. First phase from 2010-2020, an
outreach of proven technology like district heating and cool-
ing reduces the CO2 emissions by 40 %. In the second phase
from 2020-2050 innovation and new technology will achieve
the targeted 80 % reduction of GHGs by 2050. And the four
areas to prioritize are: i) energy efficiency (first-best solution),
ii) renewable energy, iii) sustainable agriculture, and iv) change
of behavior. The beauty of this list is that district heating and
cooling embraces all four topics.
There might be doubts on the ability or lack of will to reach
a legally binding agreement to cope with global warming. But
there is no doubt whatsoever that district heating and cooling
can contribute significantly to reducing the GHG emissions and
thereby securing a future for our grandchildren and their chil-
dren. The technology is mature and cost-effective. Apparently
we have failed in elaborating herein encompassed opportunities
to move our political leaders to meet the outlined global targets
saving our planet. This must be our commitment for 2010.

Looking ahead
By Ms. Sabine Froning, Managing Director, Euroheat & Power
European Union:
At the center of the EUs strategy for the next decade is the
revision of the Lisbon Strategy in order to build a Europe capa-
ble of mastering the crisis and promoting sustainable growth
and employment, innovation and competitiveness. The Europe-
an Commission has published a working document establish-
ing the economic development targets for the EU, the Europe
2020 Strategy, proposing to encourage low-carbon emitting
industries, to more invest in R&D, to develop the digital econ-
omy and to modernize education and training.
A competitive Europe highly depends on secure supplies of en-
ergy at affordable prices in order to maintain our standards
of living. At the same time, the negative effects of energy use,
particularly fossil fuels, on the environment must be drastically
reduced. That is why energy and climate policies have become
a top priority over the past couple of years. With a view to
limiting the temperature rise to 2C above preindustrial levels,
the EU focuses on developing renewable energy sources, on
reducing dependence on imported fuels, and on lowering en-
ergy consumption.
This is where district heating and cooling comes in: the eco-
nomic crisis, together with the imperative of climate action,
offers an opportunity to foster on solutions that reduce ex-
penditure for energy imports, create local employment and
bring welfare to the domestic industry. Solutions like dis-
trict heating and cooling which hold the prospect of a rapid
de-carbonization of the heating and cooling markets without
compromising on comfort demands and while maintaining cus-
tomer prices at acceptable levels.
On the agenda in 2010
On 1 January 2010 Spain has taken over the EU Presidency
from Sweden, as the first Presidency under the new rules of
the Lisbon Treaty. The Spanish Presidencys energy work pro-
gramme is dense and includes:
Energy Action Plan for 2010 2014
The Spanish Presidency will promote the adoption of the 2010-
2014 Energy Action Plan by the Spring European Council, a re-
view of the Unions energy strategy for the next five years,
which will incorporate the commitments set out in the Energy
and Climate Package, as well as in the agreement reached at
the Copenhagen Summit.
Energy Security: Infrastructures, transparency in the
markets, solidarity and crisis mechanisms
Work will continue on the Energy Security and Solidarity Action
Plan to limit Member States vulnerability through measures
such as the strengthening of Trans-European energy trans-
port networks and energy interconnections within the Union,
top market transparency and warning and solidarity mecha-
nisms in case of crisis. A key element in this respect will be the
new EU security and energy infrastructure instrument, which
the Commission will introduce.
Efficiency: revision of the 2006 Action Plan
Special attention will also be given to the objective of improv-
ing energy efficiency, as stated in the 2006 European Action
Plan for Energy Efficiency. This Plan will be reviewed over the
coming six months to draw conclusions on necessary adjust-
ments in the light of the Energy and Climate Package 20-20-
20 commitment.
Renewables: implementation of the Directive on the pro-
motion of renewable energies
Following the adoption of the Directive on renewable ener-
gies, the Spanish Presidency will support the Member States
drafting of their national plans, which should be submitted
before June 2010. According to recently submitted forecast
documents, most Member States seem to be optimist that
they will be reach their national targets.
E N E R G Y A N D E N V I R O N M E N T

New directorates for a greener future
In the driving seat will be a new Commission team led by Jos
Manuel Barroso, in charge of preparing and driving these is-
sues. On the forefront: Energy Commissioner Gnther Oet-
tinger (Germany) and Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard
(Denmark). In accordance with these portfolios two new Direc-
torates-General have been created: Energy (previously united
with Transport) and Climate Action (previously part of Environ-
ment).
When auditioned by the Members of the European Parliament
both had underlined the need for a paradigm shift in energy
policy, put emphasis on the need for concrete action on energy
efficiency and highlighted that complementary legislation may
need to be put in place.
Is district heating and cooling on the EUs radar?
Euroheat & Powers main challenge for 2010 will thus be to pro-
vide expert knowledge and opinions to a significant number of
relevant EU actions while anticipating new ones and keeping
pace with increasingly faster decision-making processes. But
is district heating and cooling at all on the EUs radar today?
Yes, it is. Acceptance of district heating and cooling as a key
sustainable technology has grown a lot over the past four or five
years. It is not an exception anymore that we have the pleasure

to read statements such as District-heating infrastructures
are of a strategic nature to reach 2020 goals higher effi-
ciency and increased use of renewable energy sources on the
heating and cooling markets in official EU documents. This
and many other examples show that the continued and joint
efforts, the many projects, papers, campaigns and events of
Euroheat & Power are bearing fruit.
Not least the above-mentioned Directive on renewable en-
ergies adopted in 2009 provides clear directions to Member
States as regards the need for the development of local heat-
ing and cooling grids. Experts estimate that capacities of so-
lar thermal / geothermal / grid-based biomass heat have to
increase by a factor of 10 / 8 / 3 until 2020 to reach targets
of the Directive. Therefore, district heating and cooling stake-
holders should use the current window of opportunity to con-
tact and assist national governments in the elaboration of the
required national action plans.
A draft version of a new Energy Efficiency Action Plan, leaked in
November 2009, also gave a prominent role to district heating
and cooling. Yet, in the last minute, its publication was post-
poned and the European Commission requested to carry out
a more thorough impact assessment first. A task which is not
easy in an area that has so many facets and where statistics

are hardly existing, so that a new action plan might not be pub-
lished before 2011. But it also provides our sector with extra
time to even better formulate our expectations, submit pro-
posals and prepare additional background information.
While being on the radar, systematic consideration and ac-
tion in favor of district heating and cooling can never be taken
for granted. Brussels is like a steam cooker: pressure from all
kinds of interest groups on institutions and policymakers is al-
ways high. Every initiative, every legislative process has its own
dynamics and ingredients. With a new Presidency, a new Parlia-
ment, a new Commission and new rules in place, well need to
be attentive and refresh the recipes. One thing is sure though:
district heating and cooling should be on the menu!
What will the European Union get from it?
Almost 40% of final energy demand in the EU is related to
heating purposes: space heating, warm water preparation and
low-temperature industrial processes. Today this demand is
mainly covered with imported fuels (gas and oil) or low-effi-
ciency electricity.
Paradoxically, more than half of the energy contained in pri-
mary fuels is lost as waste heat in conversion and transforma-
tion processes from extraction to end-use. Together with the
development of renewable energy, waste heat has to be seen
a benefit for the environment

as the greatest potential source of indigenous low-carbon en-
ergy. At current oil prices, the economic value of what today
is simply being wasted can be estimated at roughly 500 billion
Euro an opportunity that the EU should not miss.
So far the EU and national governments mainly contemplated
huge investments in networks for diversification of energy im-
ports and end-of pipe measures. Now is the time to put equal
emphasis to substituting imported energies by investments in
local heat infrastructure. Euroheat & Powers annual confer-
ence on 2 June 2010 in Brussels, jointly organized with Cogen
Europe, will provide district heating and cooling actors with
the opportunity to send exactly this message to the EU: Its
time to think district heating and cooling!

Case Study of
CHALLENGES and Solutions at the Utilities and Energy
Management of the University of Texas at Austin, USA
In September of 2007 a representative from 7-Technologies
(7T) came on site to the University of Texas at Austin, USA
(UTA) to install the initial 7T TERMIS software model of the UTA
district cooling/chilled water system. This article part 1 of 2
- describes the efforts of 7T and UTA over the next 30 months
to take what was a very successful district heating (DH)
operational energy management software and apply it suc-
cessfully to one of the largest and most complex chilled water
systems in the USA.
Introduction
We needed to develop real-time models of our systems
in order to design, operate and maintain them at their full
potential says Juan Ontiveros, and continues Those of us who
operate plants, distribution networks and buildings learned
long ago that digital controls and historical data gathering
are essential to successfully operate district energy (DE) sys-
tems to their full potential. I believe, however, that the ante
has been upped to the point where this is not enough: We also
need to develop real-time models of our systems that allow
us to manage plant performance and distribution systems on
a real-time basis. It is too costly to instrument everything to
populate the energy models, so we need to take advantage of
the state-of-the-art real-time modeling and operational tools
available industry. This will allow us to use limited instrumenta-
tion and let the real-time model predict the rest of the sys-
tem conditions. While this may sound futuristic, let me assure
you they have been doing it for years in Denmark, and we at
the University of Texas at Austin have also started to do this
with very good results. The matter of the fact is it is much less
costly to model information than measure it
Background
The University of Texas at Austin (UTA) was founded in 1883
and today it has grown to a 1.4 km2/350-acre main campus
with 21,000 faculty and staff, 16 colleges and schools and
50,000 students virtually like a super energy dense city of
75,000 people.
Today the UTA Utilities and Energy Management provide all the
utility services to the 200 buildings at the campus and provide
100 % of the power, steam, chilled water, deionized laboratory
water and compressed air for the campus.

Case Study of CHALLENGES and Solutions...
With some differences in equipment, systems, pressures, tem-
peratures and distribution methods, the chilled water system
at UTA is similar to hundreds of other utilities; found at univer-
sities, industries and elsewhere throughout the world. There-
fore the challenges and solutions to these can be applied at
many other utilities.
The System Optimization Challenge for UTA
In the year 2000 natural gas, UTAs primary fuel was about
$2.00/1.50 per mmbtu. In September of 2006 the University
paid over $14.00/10.40 per mmbtu for natural gas and since
that time has paid an average of about $8.00/6.00 per mmbtu. The
annual gas budget which 8 to 9 years ago was about $9/6.7
million has soared to approximately $36/26.7 million. Again,
this is not a problem faced only by the UTA, this is a problem
faced by everyone using natural gas or other fuels.
The operations in the central CHP plant are managed through
a highly developed Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system that integrates all of the systems and equip-
ment in the central plant. Through this integration UTA has
been able to optimize the systems and their operations to
achieve significant efficiency gains while not compromising the
safety or reliability of the plant.

UTA Campus Area Growth and Fuel Consumed by Utility Plants
Over the past 15 years the campus area served by the CHP DE
system has grown from approximately 1.2 million m2/13 million
square feet to nearly 1.8 million m2/20 million square feet. The
energy consumption on campus has grown even more drasti-
cally as the new buildings being added are significant users of
energy. While the CHP plants have reduced their fuel input from
about 4.4 million mmbtu to less than 4.2 million mmbtu in the
last fiscal year ending August 31st 2009. This has been made
possible through changes in equipment, operations and in the
ability to effectively use the information gathered during the day
to day operation of plants, systems and equipment. Software
applications such as TERMIS allow operators, engineers and
management to be presented with decision-ready information
in a way that can be used successfully to improve plant, distri-
bution and building efficiency. The sporadic up and down annual
gas use is due to the construction projects that have been
ongoing at the utility plant. Future use will be stable around the
4.0 million mmbtu mark as the University approaches gas use
quantities as low as plant consumption during the 1970s.
In the 4 central chilling plants both new and old technologies
exist to optimize the efficiency and operation of the individual
plants. The new challenge became how to, as with the central
CHP plant, integrate the operations of all four chilling stations
and op-timize their operation as a whole. Several driving fac-
tors were behind the new challenge to effectively manage the
entire chilled water distribution system as a whole rather than
only managing the operation of the individual plants and pro-
viding only minimal operational management of the distribution
system itself. These factors were:
With a peak electrical load for producing chilled water of
nearly 30,000 kW and an annual consumption of nearly
110,000,000 kWh there was a significant opportunity for
cost savings.
Attempts at trying to reduce chilled water pumping pres-
sures to save energy had inadvertently resulted in other
problems
Frequent hot-call from building occupants with the re-
sult that the chilled water operation was to blame.
25.000.000
Area Served in Square Feet
Lower pressures in the distribution system required the
building chilled water pumps to operate correctly for the
20.000.000
first time in years, many did not.
15.000.000
Confusion from chiller plant operators as to how to ope-
rate the new chilled water system with 4 plants now that
10.000.000 the old rules of thumb did not apply.
In older areas of the campus existing buildings were being
5.000.000 torn down and replaced with new or renovated buildings with
resulting increases in cooling demand.
Concern how to serve future buildings as the infrastructure
became loaded to 100 % or beyond.
Aging building mechanical systems were returning chilled
water well below design leading to the low delta T syndrome
that affects nearly every aging chilled water system.
How would the newest chilling station and new Thermal
Energy Storage (TES) be integrated into the system and
their operation optimized?
Typical hydraulic analysis tools could provide only limited an-
swers and then typically only at peak conditions giving no in-
sight on how to operate the remaining 98 % of the time.
Many of the research facilities on campus required 100 %
availability of chilled water. But aging distribution systems
need maintenance. Finding the best combination of valve
positions, chillers and pumps had become a necessity, but no
solution existed for this.
E N E R G Y A N D E N V I R O N M E N T

Market research to find the best system
optimization solution
UTA questioned other campuses throughout the US and in-
dustrial campuses all around Texas says Kevin M. Kuretich and
continues No one else had found any solutions that covered
the entire DC system, only certain parts. The closest solution
was at a Toyota plant that had just been constructed. In that
facility the plant SCADA system included data all the way down
to the position of every air handler control valve in the entire
facility. Using the position of the most open valves, they were
able to control the pressure and temperatures output from
their chiller plant.

Unfortunately, however elegant this solution, the cost to
measure pressures, temperatures, flows and valve positions
throughout 17 million square feet and bring all of that informa-
tion in real time back to an operating system was not feasible
at all. Although no actual cost estimate was done, the total
cost of such a monitoring system, when only 15 % of the Uni-
versity had digital controls in the buildings would have been
well into the millions of dollars and would have taken years to
implement.

Case Study of CHALLENGES and Solutions...

In June of 2007 the members of the
universitys plant operations saw a
presentation by the University of New
Mexico on an Energy Management
System based on Real Time Thermal
Energy Modeling and Simulation
their chilled water and steam distri-
bution systems. The System had been
developed in Europe and had been in
use for over 20 years providing opera-
tions management for DH systems. The
product, TERMIS, had been developed
by 7-Technologies (7T) in 1985.
To the operator in the control room
TERMIS looked just like the other
SCADA screens that they were used
to seeing. Unlike some potential ap-
plications TERMIS did not require an
for engineer to be on hand at all times to
translate results.

AN INVALUABLE CHP PLANT FOR GREECE

By Mr. Martin F. Autzen, Project Manager, BWSC

The Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal on Revithoussa Island, 45
km west of Athens, Greece, is one of the three supply sources
for the Greek Natural Gas Transmission System. Since 2009,
the Terminals energy needs are fully covered by a gas engine-
based Combined Heat and Power plant built by Burmeister &
Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC) to lower emissions
and ensure a constant high level of reliability, efficiency and
flexibility.
The BWSC Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant on the is-
land Revithoussa, also known as The Power Integration Station,
plays a crucial role for Greece in the safeguard of uninterrupt-
ed supply of natural gas.
Thanks to the CHP plant, the LNG Terminal can operate in au-
tonomous mode without being electrically fed by the main grid;
i.e. in cases of mainland electricity grid failures.
Natural gas in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is
received at the Terminal, stored and vaporised in the Terminals
special facilities before being distributed to the mainland. The
heat produced by the CHP plant is used for the LNG vaporisa-
tion at the terminal, ensuring the best possible overall utiliza-
tion of the fuel gas with an efficiency of the CHP plant up to
87.2 % (electrical = 42.2 % and thermal = 45.0 %).
Low emissions and high reliability through
state-of-the-art design
The CHP plant comprises a powerhouse with pressurized ven-
tilation system and a separate gas metering and regulation
station. It is powered by two Caterpillar G16CM34 medium
speed gas engines of 6.5 MWe each, creating an output of 13
MWe and 13.9 MWth. The selected engines offer low emissions,
high reliability and high flexibility.

AN INVALUABLE CHP PLANT FOR GREECE

In periods without heat demand, the CHP plant can still pro-
duce electricity using the back-up radiator cooling facility and
hence, providing high operational flexibility to the LNG Terminal.
The generated power is supplied to the existing 6 kV grid. The
control system contains both local control panels for the plant
and integration with the existing LNG Terminal control center
situated approximately 200 meters from the CHP plant. The
LNG Terminal control center is the master control center. In
practice this means that the operators monitor the gas pro-
duction as well as the various power outputs from the entire
Terminal at the same time.
Naturally delivered within time and budget
Severe safety measures surrounded the construction phase
of the project due to the considerable amounts of gas stored
on the island being located in a seismic zone. Since, it was re-
quired to maintain gas production and distribution throughout
the entire construction phase, strict rules applied for security
and safety, e.g. the handling of electrical, welding and cutting
equipment on the island.
Nevertheless, BWSC implemented this complex project in
record time of 18 months and ahead of schedule in April 2009
- for which the company received much accolade and a com-
memorative plaque from the client. Afterwards, a successful
3-month plant operation period followed with effective take-
over in July 2009.

Part of strong political energy incentives

The CHP plant represents two pillars of the Greek energy
policy the promotion of gas as an integral part of the diver-
sification of energy sources towards lower emissions and the
promotion of energy-efficient CHP plants.

Besides the societal benefits of saved primary energy, avoid-

ed network losses and reduced greenhouse gases, the BWSC
plant is part of the Greek implementation of the European Di-
rective on Cogeneration 2004/08/EC.

The plant is partly financed as part of the National Strate-

gic Reference Framework, which programmes European Union
funds for environmental purposes for specifically Greece.

Facing substantial challenges

BWSC CHP plant
Greece only produces a small amount of natural gas. At
present, it relies mainly on imported oil to satisfy its energy
needs. Greece thereby faces substantial challenges in this field
along with most other European countries.

Currently, the Greek natural gas market is growing. One third

of the natural gas consumed in Greece is imported as LNG. The
remaining part is imported from Russia by pipeline.

Natural gas is becoming more attractive as a fuel for electri-
city production especially due to lower environmental pollution.
Gas fired power plants produce twice the electricity per ton
of emitted CO2 compared to coal fired plants. The CO2-quota
scheme imposes substantial costs on generating electricity
from coal instead of gas. Moreover, gas fired plants are more
flexible with regard to adjusting production to electricity prices
and can thus charge a higher average price than inflexible pro-
duction like nuclear and coal. Increasingly, gas is used for direct
household consumption.
Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S
(BWSC) is a leading turnkey contractor and operator
for large and medium scale power plants. Furthermore,
BWSC is involved with selected CHP and renewable en-
ergy plants. Within three decades, BWSC has supplied
more than 160 power plants to 50 countries, with a to-
tal generating capacity in excess of 2,900 MW.

European indigenous gas production is declining. Few

new discoveries are made, with a consequent decline
in reserves, and EU25 now holds only a fraction of ap-
proximately 1.4% of total known gas resources. With the
current production level, EU25 will have consumed its
reserves in approximately 15 years, without new discover-
ies. The large gas reservoirs are to be found in the Middle
East, Russia and Africa. These facts all make a strong case
for increased import dependency in Europe over the com-
ing years, an import dependency which is already high.

The high, and growing, import dependence is a great con-

cern for several European countries. Today, Western Eu- For further information please contact:

Given the anticipated substantial increase in gas demand,

Heating Company (JHC), a company owned by the municipality,
was already supplying 29% of the total heating surface (5.5
million m2). JHCs demand peaked at 410 MWth, 70% of which
was supplied by 2 local CHPs and the rest by JHCs own heat-
only boilers.

The 25-year concession in Jiamusi signed in 2007 was the first
District Heating contract awarded in China under the new
concession framework issued by the authorities in Beijing.
Independent small coal-fired boilers represent the main heat-
ing source in many cities in China. Their low efficiency and lack
of effective air-pollution control system caused significant air
pollution problems which led to regulations encouraging lo-
cal authorities to close down small coal-fired boilers in favor
of large District Heating Systems (DHS). This presents sub-
stantial growth opportunities for efficient operators such as
Dalkia, but it also means significant investment over the initial
years of operation.
JHC has been in chronic deficit for over a decade, and there-
fore lacked the financial strength to raise the funds to meet
the city development objectives. JHCs assets also suffered
from reduced maintenance which resulted in large energy and
water losses. This in turn led to increased dissatisfaction from
the users as interruption of service and low in-door tempera-
ture was the norm.
In May 2007, Dalkia signed a 25-year concession to manage the
former JHCs network. A new JV, Dalkia (Jiamusi) Urban Heating
Co, Ltd (Dalkia Jiamusi), was set up with minority participa-
tion from a municipal utility company, Jiamusi New Times Urban
Infrastructure Construction and Investment (Group).

The difficulty in securing financing for District Energy in China The project took two years to materialize as it was the first
was overcome by Dalkia through collaboration with the Asian concession agreement in the heating sector in China.

After 2 years of operation, Dalkia Jiamusi increased the net-

work coverage by 56% to 8.6 million m2. Dalkias aim is to supply
14.5 million m2 by 2020 (75% of the current heating surface).

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS

Modifications on JHCs Network
Dalkia Jiamusi formulated a development strategy for the Cen-
tral Zone and the 2 largest development zones in the West and
in the East of Jiamusi as illustrated in the figure below:

Automation of Management Tools

A SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system
was installed, enabling real-time management of the substa-
tions and the network, and resulting in improved optimization
of energy efficiency and users comfort.

This strategy translated into 3 main investment programs:

Modification of the East network from 85 C heat supply to
95C heat supply;
Construction of a new North feeder with 120 C heat supply;
Construction of a new South feeder with 120 C heat supply.

The capacity for growth of the urban heating at Jiamusi was

limited by its network configuration, even though two existing
CHPs were capable of delivering more heat from their existing
capacities.

The major part of the existing network had been designed to

supply hot water from the CHP directly to numerous radiators
in the end-users premises. This limited the heat supply tem-
perature to 85C and the pressure to a maximum of 6 bars,
and subject the network to large heat losses as it was losing
water at a rate of 1,200 m3/h.
Dalkia also implemented its proprietary ERP system, with
specialized modules on Maintenance Management, Energy
Management, Fuel Supply and Customer Service.

To overcome these technical constraints, Dalkia Jiamusi built

about 90 new substations on the eastern network upon ta-
king over the management of the network in the summer of
2007. This enabled the primary water supply temperature to be
raised to 95C and enabling the existing network to be con-
nected to additional areas which were previously supplied by
independent boiler houses.

With the construction of the North feeder in 2009, and the

South feeder in 2012, Dalkia Jiamusi will be able to increase
the supply temperature to 120C, buy more energy from the
larger East Cogeneration plant, and increase the supplied area
to 14.5 million m2.
Renewable Energy
Dalkia is studying the possibility to develop heating by using
geothermal resources in the municipality of Jiamusi. Some
studies have shown potential for geothermal harness in the
North of the city.

DALKIA MANAGEMENT OF JIAMUSI URBAN HEATING NETWORK...
Dalkia intends to develop a 10~15 MW capacity installation for
the initial phase. Two-Wells-Geothermal-Installation will be
used, which reinjects the water to the ground and therefore
preserve water resources.
Biomass is also an obvious source of fuel as Jiamusi is locat-
ed in the middle of large cornfields,. Biomass is a renewable
energy that is in full expansion, supported by public authorities
as part of green growth and renewable energy development
policies. It is a major development axis for Dalkia which has 190
biomass plants in operation worldwide.
Enhancement of Employees Competencies
Dalkia recognises that the experience and knowledge of the
existing management and staff is a very significant part of the
asset being acquired. Moreover, mutual cooperation between
the management and the labor force is crucial to the success-
ful operation of the project.
Dalkia Group has a strong history of successful integration of
human resources in its acquisition of companies and of con-
tracts where transfers of employees are considered. Jiamusi
is able to benefit from the experience and knowledge from
100,000 sites managed by Dalkia worldwide, as Dalkia pursues
an active policy of upgrading employees skills and experience
through training courses organized by related companies or by
third parties. For key employees, this policy extends to expo-
sures to overseas operations for a period of time.
IMPACT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Dalkia Jiamusi monitors key energy and environmental para-
meters, and the current results show:
Reduction of more than 65,000 tons of CO2;
Reduction of 6.6% on ratio of energy consumption per
square meter;
Savings of 26,000 tons of standard coal (standard coal is
defined in China as 7,000 kcal/ton);
Reduction of water loss by 23%;
Decrease in heat supplied by polluted coal-fired boiler
houses from 17% in 2006 to 10% presently.
These improvements were mainly due to:
Development of the network to buy cleaner energy from
the 2 CHPs:
Removal of 64 independent coal-fired boiler houses and 9
JHC coal-fired boiler houses in 2008.
Modernization and modification of JHCs former network
design to significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce
water loss:
179 substations were renovated and/or installed between
2007 and 2008;
21 new substations are planned to be built in 2009/2010;
Average age of network is decreased with the refurbish-
ment and renewal;
More than 5,500 valves on the primary and secondary net-
works were replaced.
Future reduction of CO2 emissions is estimated as follows:
70,000 tons/year of CO2 by reducing network loss (around
1.7 million tons of CO2 over 25 years)
200,000 tons/year of CO2 by connecting buildings that
will switch from low-efficiency heat-only-boilers to Dalkia
Jiamusis network (around 5.2 million tons of CO2 over 25
years)
20,000 t/year of CO2 if feasibility studies show viability to
develop the 1st phase of a geothermal project
CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Dalkia Jiamusi has successfully improved the quality of ser-
vices and earns trust from the customers. As an indicator,
bad debts decreased from 7% to 2% after Dalkia Jiamusis
takeover of the urban heating facilities. Newspapers are a
common medium for Dalkia Jiamusi to share public infor-
mation with the customers.
Local radio
Dalkia regularly participates in local radio program to respond
to specific queries from the public. Before each heating
season, a stand is operated by Dalkia Jiamusi on the city
main square to provide information to the public on the
new heating season.
Internet
Furthermore, Dalkia China developed a corporate internet web-
site (http://www.dalkia.cn/), available in Chinese and English.
Dalkia also designed a website specifically for Dalkia Jiamusi
(http://jms.dalkia.cn). It differs from the Chinese corporate
website in the inclusion of some features specific to the local
environment.

saving suppliers. The goal set up by then was to eliminate the Fredericia

dependency on oil for DH in the cities. This goal was reached Kolding

early, and in addition the share of DH has increased. Present supply area of TVIS

Now attention to our climate has come into focus, and TVIS
would like to eliminate the emission of climate gasses. There-
fore, in February 2008 the owners decided to initiate a study to
investigate how this new goal could be achieved.
The starting point was that the Skrbk Plant - the regional
combined heat and power (CHP) plant - supplying about half the
total of DH to TVIS is operated solely with natural gas. DONG
Energy is the owner of this plant and also owns the Ensted Plant
located in Aabenraa 80 km to the south and the Horsens CHP
plant 45 km to the north and therefore suggested to study
this entire area and all the DH systems involved. In this way the
total area could end up as an even larger heat supply area as
the TVIS area presently known.
TVIS today
Totally 55,000 homes in the area are heated with DH, and the
customers enjoys prices of heat which are relatively low com-
pared to other plants throughout Denmark.
As mentioned, the other large supplier of DH is the Skrbk
Plant, which was founded in 1951 as a traditional power plant.
Today unit 3 build as a CHP plant in 1997 with a capacity of
392 MWe / 444 MWheat supplies some 55 % of the yearly heat
demand.
TAS (Trekantomrdets Affaldsselskab) is the waste-to-energy
plant taking care of the combustible share of municipal waste
in the four municipality area. TAS is located in Kolding and is the
third substantial supplier of DH covering some 17 % of the de-
mand. This plant is also a CHP plant and contributes relatively
small emissions of CO2.
Only 2 % of the heat is produced by direct combustion of na-
tural gas in heat only boilers located in the cities and at the
Carlsberg Brewery in Fredericia. All in all, only very little fossil
fuels directly used are involved in the generation of DH in the
TVIS-area. That is why the environmental impact is very low.

E N E R G Y A N D E N V I R O N M E N T

Future visions
The basic idea of TVIS now as before is to exploit potential
possibilities for supply of surplus heat from local industries
and power producing units.
In order to plan for the future, a steering group managed by
politicians from the four municipalities owning TVIS and the
main contributors including DONG Energy was established two
years ago. It was decided to analyze the possibilities for an
enlarged supply area including heat supplies from the Ensted
Plant. In fact, the entire area from Aabenraa to Horsens was
put on the drawing table. In order to enable this comprehen-
sive study all of the independent DH companies within the TVIS
area became involved and all other DH companies in the total
study area were invited to the table. They all accepted the in-
vitation.
Work was commissioned by
analyses of the interests
of all participants in rela-
tion to the plans. Based on
that, a number of visions
for the future were drawn
up. Also collection of re-
levant data from all par-
ticipating DH companies
and about their plants and
future plans took place at
the beginning. The out-
come of the analyses was,
that security of supply,
economy, environment in-
cluding climate protection,
The entire area studied
robustness and company
influence were important issues for the participants and were
put on the agenda.
By December 2008 the steering group announced three
models for the future:
A centralized model including a new transmission line
between the Ensted Plant and the TVIS system.
A model involving a conversion of the Skrbk Plant to en-
able operation on biomass with an output of 400 MWheat.
A decentralized model excluding the Skrbk Plant as a
base load unit. Instead a new base load heat only station
with an output of 100 MWheat and a number of smaller de-
centralized biomass plants are taken into account.
In addition, it was decided to study alternatives of the two first
models. These would encounter new transmission lines to Vejen
(west of Kolding) and to Horsens. A further assumption for all
models was to take all existing DH networks within reach from
J O U R N A L N 0 . 1 / 2 0 1 0

the extended transmission into consideration. Based on these
conditions, comprehensive pressure and temperature analy-
ses of the network models were carried out.
The outcome of the work was that a future conversion of the
Skrbk Plant to use biomass from an economical point of
view (attractive heat price) would be desirable for the DH com-
panies presently involved in TVIS. As a consequence, the steer-
ing committee decided in March 2009 not to take the model
encompassing the Ensted Plant any further.
A promising model for the future
Subsequently, a number of new scenarios for the development
were set up. Now the focus area was the present TVIS-area
and a variant including the north string towards Horsens.
Basically two models with each two alternatives were defined:
1. Development of the present TVIS-scheme including exten-
sion of TAS
- Conversion of the Skrbk Plant to operation on wood
pellets
- Construction of new decentralized biomass plants
2. Development of the present TVIS-scheme and construction
of a transmission line to Horsens.
- Conversion of the Skrbk Plant (wood pellets) and ex-
tension of TAS
- Conversion of the Skrbk Plant (wood pellets) and ex-
tension of Horsens Heat and Power Plant
The reference scenario for these models is continued use of
natural gas at the Skrbk Plant and extension of TAS.
The outcome of the analyses shows that the reduction of CO2
emission by conversion to wood pellets at the Skrbk Plant
is in the order of 60 %.
Also the economical results with focus on the effects for the
DH-companies indicate considerable savings. As an example,
conversion from natural gas to wood pellets at the Skrbk
Plant entails savings of some 2,000 mio. DKK (270 mio. ) du-
ring the 20 year period studied. If the DH-companies along the
northern line to Horsens are considered, the total saving is
some 3,200 mil. DKK (432 mil. ).
At the present time, it has not been decided how investment
and savings should be split among the parties, but all in all it
is clear that all participants are able to achieve considerable
savings. In all scenarios investigated a noticeable reduction of
the so-called balanced heat price for the DH-companies in-
volved in TVIS today is achieved. This was a positive starting
point for the negotiations to take place afterwards.

Sketch of the present TVIS-area and

the north string

The steering group found that adding

the north string to Horsens will create
a supply system, which will be robust in
respect of supply security and will pre-
vent bottle neck effects in the trans-
mission line.

A number of sensitivity analyses were

carried out also. They focused on fuel
prices and fuel tax, prices for CO2 quo-
tas and investment as well as market
development. The results of these anal-
yses did not change the overall picture
that TVIS is encountering a very posi-
tive future - be that within the present
supply area or with the northwards ex-
tension.

Now it is time for action

The basis for decisions has been creat-
ed. The target is clear: Within a period
of four years, it is possible and econom-
ically feasible to cut the CO2 emission
by 100,000 tons pr. year in the present
supply area. This will make it possible to
serve the customers with almost CO2-
free DH. By doing so, the four munici-
palities will be far beyond the national
targets.

and Mors were invited to join the COP 15, to share their con-
cepts for a sustainable future - A decentralized energy supply
belonging to and placed virtually in the back yards of the con-
sumers. A way of doing things that has led the famed econo-
mist Jeremy Rifkin to state that Thisted is leading the way for
The Third Industrial Revolution. This revolution will provide us
all with sustainable energy. For Thisted the epicenter for this
energy revolution is district energy (DE) from decentralized
plants.

The numbers speak for themselves. The 46,000 inhabitants of

Thisted are consuming 339 GWh electricity pr. year which is all
produced by renewables. 219 GWh of the space heating comes
from renewable energy in the shape of district heating (DH)
and this covers more than 85 % of actual consumption.

District Energy as Corner Stone for Sustainability
Besides wind power DE has been the most important factor of
Thisteds sustainable energy supply. The DE supply of Thisted,
have provided the citizens of Thisted with DE for 50 years. Key
words in the work of Thisteds DE have been cost efficiency,
proactive planning and sustainability. Today DH in the city of
Thisted ranks as one of the absolutely cheapest in the country
providing a standard house of 130 m2 with heat for less than
a 1000 pr. year.
Thisted DH company is receiving heat from a waste to energy
CHP plant, owned 50 % by the DH company and 50 % by a group
of municipalities including Thisted. The CHP plant has an annual
production of 26,000 MWh electricity and 115,000 MWh heat
(70 % of the DH demand) giving an actual efficiency of 98 %.
Further more DH from a geothermal plant and a straw fired
unit is covering 15 % each of the DH demand.
The illustration next page shows that the improved efficiency
on the plants is yielding a positive result. Three main issues
have been addressed:
the effect of the boilers
the efficiency of the heat grid

Clean energy should be for all citizens in the municipality of
Thisted. This is why Thisted DH Company is working on ambi-
tious plans to unite the entire 1000 km2 of the municipality to
an interconnected DH network. The plan is known as Heating
Plan Thy, and will bring DH to almost every town and village of
the municipality of Thisted.
By gathering all production units in the municipality on a com-
mon transmission grid a large degree of supply reliability is
achieved. The foundation of this will be economically and envi-
ronmentally viable and secure minimum usage of fossil fuels.
The cost of implementation is an estimated 40 45 million Euro
and the result of Heating Plan Thy will be a community with
no use of fossil fuels, a very sustainable community, very low
prices on heating, development of rural areas and preserva-
tion of local decision making.
Developing the Energy for the Future
Thisted is fortunate to be host for the development of exit-
ing new energy technologies. First and foremost wave power.
Thisted is home of two test facilities for wave power. In the
Limfjord we find Nissum Bredning. This test centre provides a
controllable environment where several prototypes have un-
dergone development. Among these is Wave Star Energy which
now operates in Hanstholm where a scale model of 500 KW is
being tested in the rough seas of the North Sea.
Danish Wind power, which had its cradle in Thisted municipality
and the north western part of Denmark, will most likely also
see the development of future wind turbines in Thisted. With
the Climate Ministrys advanced plans of creating a large na-
tional test center in the municipality Thisted will become the
epicenter of wind turbine development in Denmark. Hopefully
creating jobs in Thisted and help further secure that the many
jobs in the wind turbine industry stays in Denmark.

Its not the Technology but the Concept
During the COP15 a tour for interested delegates was arranged.
It was simply not enough to receive the film about Thisted and
read the many brochures. Because of time restrictions and
the many different technologies on display in Thisted and Mors
the delegates had to choose between two main energy direc-
tions: Wind and Biomass. From there the delegates would ex-
perience Thisted DH company as described, water treatment
to biogas, farm biogas, wind power, wind power planning, local
government and energy planning and the wind power.
The words of South African delegate Vincent Kobuwe sums up
the experience perfectly: Its not about the specific techno-
logy its about the concept that is applied. This is what I will
take home to see how we can apply that.

EUs first Climate Action Commissioner
Connie Hedegaard
The former COP15 hostess and Minister for Climate and
Energy, Connie Hedegaard, have commenced her new job as
EUs first Climate Action Commissioner.
Being the EUs first Climate Action Commissioner, she sees
herself as having a two-fold mission: First and foremost, she
wants to implement the Climate and Energy package that was
adopted last year, and which now requires follow-up. Connie
Hedegaard has an ambition to see Europe as the most climate
friendly region in the world and her task is to ensure the right
solutions to be taken. Solutions - that will both benefit cli-
mate, energy security and job creation, and as a spinoff she
is convinced that quality of life will be improved. She wants to
demonstrate that if we invest in climate friendly and energy
efficient technologies, everybody will gain economically.
Second, she will continue her efforts to reach an ambitious
international climate agreement. The EU has played a tremen-
dously important role in paving the way for changes in the way
we view climate change and Ms. Hedegaard will continue to
raise awareness and to deliver solutions. She wants to pursue
the negotiations with the aim of reaching the 30% emissions
reduction target as soon as possible and, she will intensify ef-
forts on several fronts; the EU Emissions Trading System, CO2
reduction from cars and vans, a future Climate and Transport
Package. She will mainstream climate into relevant policies and
programs: Research and Innovation, Agriculture, Rural Devel-
opment, Structural Funds, Energy, Transport, Industry, Trade,
Development and Environment.
Connie Hedegaard is looking forward to working with her fel-
low Commissioners to ensure that the Europe of tomorrow is
more sustainable than the Europe of today.
DBDH is new member of the Confederation
of Danish Industry (DI)
Since 2008, the Board of Directors of DBDH has intensively
worked on the right structure for the organisation to accom-
modate the constant development around DBDH and demands
within. At the members meeting 1 October, members were
faced with the choice between an unchanged DBDH or becom-
ing part of the DI family, and a strong majority decided that
from 1 January 2010 DBDH is a member of DI.
The cardinal point has been how the industry best allocated
its resources to meet future demands while creating highest
possible value for all individually and jointly. Uniting the best
from both organisations will increase the industrys empow-
erment to achieve the goal of greater acknowledgement, and
at the same time show the opportunities that this industry
offers to society. It was agreed that the synergies that will
arise in a close cooperation between the DIs political skills and
DBDHs market approach, and years of industry knowledge, will
both prepare and strengthen the organization to embrace fu-
ture challenges.
The first joint mission is in relation to the European Parliament
and Council Directive 2009/28/EF from 23 April 2009, and the
EU Commission Decision of 30 June 2009, which states that
the Member States by 30 June 2010 must submit a national
action plan for the national renewable energy policy and the
set up targets.
A stronger DBDH under the umbrella of the DI, where the in-
teraction between policy and export reaches new dimensions
will play a pivotal role for the possibilities of Danish district
heating and cooling solutions internationally.

ment. Its a contract-driven and po-
litical organization that works for a
clean, safe and beautiful town. 90 per cent of the municipalitys
300,000 residents are being supplied with district heating and
3100 million kWh of heat comes from waste, coal and straw.
In addition, supplies are transmitted to the four neighboring
municipalities and to the Heating Association for Market Gar-
deners in Aarhus.
Everyday responsibility for the Heat Plan Aarhus and the
transmission system rests with AffaldVarme Aarhus; more
specifically in the Heat Plan Aarhus Department. The depart-
ment comprises a manager, function managers, engineers,
mechanical engineers, craftsmen and others. This department
takes care of the plants and handles the operation and main-
tenance of the overall transmission system with its associated
boiler plants, heat exchanger plants, pump stations, etc. A con-
trol room staffed 24/7 deals with the everyday operation of

ABB
This time my visit goes to the turn-
key supplier and the global engineering
company ABB. I meet the Sales Director
Mr. Per T. Christensen and the Commu-
nication and PR Coordinator Ms. Bir-
gitte Torntoft in Skovlunde 30 minutes
by car from the centre of Copenhagen.
The purpose is to make an interview
about ABBs plans for future markets,
their strength, and what countries they
are operating in.
Introduction
The history of ABB is long and ama-
zing covering 120 years of technologi-
cal leadership. Its a history which has
given ABB a lot of world expertise and
solid knowledge not least about district
heating and cooling (DHC) - although
it all began with producing electricity.
In 1883 Ludvig Fredholm established
Elektriska Aktiebolaget in Stockholm
as manufacturers of electrical power
components and generators - a know-
ledge which later became useful for the
production of district heating. Today,
ABBs core business is power and auto-
mation technologies for the utility and
industry sector.
All over the world, countries have, with
the support of ABB, developed, main-
tained and conducted their business
successfully. Technology and sustain-
ability are two very important keywords
for ABB and because of operations
throughout the world, it has been im-
portant to develop unique technolo-
gies in order to make their clients more
competitive technologies that are
developed with the objective to save
energy and minimize the impact on the
environment.
The strength of ABB
The strength of ABB is a wide range of
products, an ability to take turnkey con-
tracts, a strong local representation
as well as an extensive process know-
how. In Denmark, ABB is the centralised
support centre for DHC within the ABB
organisation and holds the PRU (Prod-
uct Responsible Unit). The PRU exists
in order to avoid the same products to
be produced in other countries. ABB
has many years of world expertise and
knowledge of district heating - a know-
ledge they sell to foreign countries with
great success.
Mr. Per T. Christensen, Sales Director, ABB
To form a general view, I ask Mr. Per
Christensen how ABB is divided: ABB
is divided into five divisions: 1) Low Volt-
age Products, 2) Process Automation,
3) Power Products, 4) Power Systems,
5) Discrete Automation and Motion.
We are selling systems, components
and solutions to our customers and we
are producing products and systems
e.g. SCADA, PLC, frequency converters,
motors, instrumentation, substations,
transformers, switchgear and switch-
board equipment, as well as protection
equipment.
How is the cooperation with the DBDH
members? We have a very satisfying co-
E N E R G Y
operation with many of the DBDH mem-
bers. For instance we buy pumps from
Grundfos, and Iron Pump, and we buy
heat exchangers from APV and Danfoss,
ball valves from Broen A/S and Danfoss,
and Energy Meters from Kamstrup. The
purchased components are integrated
into the final typical Turn Key or semi
Turn Key solution for our customers,
Mr. Per Christensen explains, and he
continues, ABB has an extensive expe-
rience with the Danish suppliers to the
DHC industry and share their knowledge
with the colleagues abroad for the ben-
efit of their customers.
ABB in Denmark
As already mentioned, ABB produces a
system called SCADA (Supervisory Con-
trol And Data Acquisition). The SCADA
is one of the systems that ABB sells in
Denmark and world wide.
The SCADA system in District Heating
and Cooling (DHC) application is used
to centralize the control and supervi-
sion of the plant, thereby enabling the
substations to be operated unmanned.
A SCADA system is the nerve system
of the DHC plant, taking care of redi-
recting control parameters between
production units and substations. Also
abnormal situations will be announced
to the Operator, enabling him to take
the right action.
The key words of a successful SCADA
system are: flexibility, modularity, cross-
platform function and the ability to
integrate smoothly into both new and
existing plants. With a modern SCADA
system you do not only invest in a con-
trol system to meet your current needs,
but in a system that with upgrades will
function and adapt perfectly to the
changing needs for the next 20 to 30
years to come.
A N D E N V I R O N M E N T

ABB in Asia
ABB exports expert knowledge of DHC
to both China, Mongolia and other Cen-
tral Asia countries that need new and
environmentally friendly solutions for
production and distribution of water,
gas and electricity.
Since 1994, we have had DHC activities
in China and the market is growing. In
China, ABB has 15.000 local employees.
Local representation is advantageous
to our customers, of obvious reasons
but also because we avoid cultural mis-
understandings that sometimes may
occur, Mr. Christensen explains.
Recently, ABB together with DBDH went
on a road show to China to examine the
possibilities of getting more District
Cooling customers. The cities Sanya,
Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong
were visited; and the trip turned out to
be very interesting with a lot of new op-
portunities.

What goes in is what comes out
District cooling is currently one of the most effective ways
of cutting back on CO2 emissions and combating global
warming, by replacing old-fashioned, energy-greedy air
conditioning with a transmission infrastructure that virtually
ensures no energy loss. What goes in is what comes out.
Everyone benefits, because conserving thermal energy is
one of the most effective ways to minimise environmental
impacts.
Over and under
LOGSTOR district cooling solutions feature a 30-year service
life. This adds up to install and forget ideal in urban
environments. LOGSTOR pre-insulated pipes can be run over
rooftops, on the surface or underground, ideal for energy-
efficient comfort cooling in buildings of all types.
