abstract = {With regard to climate change, the reduction of greenhouse
gas emissions, e.g. by introducing and extending the use of
renewable energy sources, plays a pivotal role. As a part of
the “Energiewende”, the share of renewable energy
sources in electricity generation increased rapidly so far,
however other sectors, such as the heating sector, are
lagging behind. In order to achieve the defined greenhouse
gas emission reduction targets, corresponding measures have
to be taken in all energy sectors. This especially holds
true in the heating sector, which accounts for a high share
in carbon dioxide emissions. In the heating sector, key
challenges include the integration of renewable energies and
waste heat in the heat supply as well as the increase of the
efficiency in the building sector. To reduce heating demands
while still ensuring thermal comfort for the occupants,
different measures can be taken, ranging from design to
refurbishment and automation. Due to the low rate of new
construction andrenovation in Germany and the European Union
in general, the building stock will dominate the overall
energy demand of buildings for the coming decades.
Therefore, solutions which can be easily retrofitted in
existing buildings are essential.Within the “Living Lab
Energy Campus” (LLEC) initiative at Forschungszentrum
Jülich (FZJ), these challenges are addressed by developing,
demonstrating and evaluating various measures ranging from
district level over building level to room level by using
the real infrastructure at the campus. On the supply side at
district level, the integration of waste heat of a
water-cooled high performancecomputer from the Jülich
Supercomputing Center (JSC) into a low temperature district
heating network (LTDH) for the supply of heat to surrounding
buildings is studied. Since the waste heat is provided at
moderate temperature, heat pumps are installed in the
connected buildings to raise the temperature of the supplied
heat to the required temperature level of the building's
heating system. Cloud-basedmodel predictive controllers have
been developed for an overall optimal operation of the LTDH,
heat pumps, heat storages and heating distribution systems
within the buildings. The developed control methods have
been tested and evaluated using a digital twin. After start
of operation of the LTDH, a scientific evaluation of
different control methods as well as of the ICT setup can be
conducted. Besides this, the automation system of a heating
substation with heat exchanger fed by a traditional district
heating network is connected to the ICTplatform and adapted
for scientific monitoring and operation. To raise energy
efficiency at building level, innovative cloud-based
controllers as well as monitoring methods to raise user
awareness with respect to energy demand are developed. For
the evaluation of these methods, several buildings including
those connected to the LTDH have been equipped on room level
with radio-based sensors, measuring indoor air quality and
energy demand relatedparameters, and actuators, allowing the
local and remote control of heating systems, lighting
systems and venetian blinds. Occupants can view sensor data
of their room via the web-based graphical user interface
“JuControl” and provide setpoints for e.g. temperature
control. The implemented setup allows the use as a testbed
for a variety of different automation algorithms. The
experiments havingalready been conducted show the
opportunity to increase the energy efficiency and reveal
interesting insights by data analysis. In addition to run
and evaluate single measures separately, the developed ICT
infrastructure also enables the combined operation of
several measures in parallel across different levels and
sectors, e.g. a grid-supporting heat pump operation.
Finally, a first evaluation of the wide range of measures
including the different characteristics regarding costs,
implementation efforts and efficiency gains is shown.The
general concept of each measure as well as the developed
tools, methods and model libraries for optimal design and
operation can be transferred to similar use cases. For wider
application, also a release of the developed software
elements is planned.},
