Renewable energy heating at salon tysul

Tender description

Background – Calon Tysul Community Pool is heated using a diesel powered boiler, the ancillary pumps and air handling units also consume electrical power, the energy costs for the pool are a burden that is impacting the facilities up time and sustainability moving forward. There is a project (phase I) in place to fit a Solar PV and battery storage system to the Community sports centre to provide renewable electricity, we are looking to add a phase II Project for the site. Phase II Renewable Energy Project Calon Tysul There is a need to replace fossil fuel pool heating at Calon Tysul with renewable energy, to reduce running costs (target 25% + of Diesel cost) and reduce carbon emissions, this is the goal for The Phase II Calon renewable energy project. We are open to any methodology / renewable energy technologies to achieve these goals. But suspect that mixing renewable technologies might give positive results. An example of how this might work is detailed below, but it is just an example rather than a requirement and we reiterate that we are looking for proposals to meet the goals of this project rather than dictating how it should be achieved. The budget for the project is £130k Example Combining 3 renewable energy technologies with a control system to support the existing fossil fuel boiler. The control system will need to ensure the lowest cost energy source is used to heat the pool. Achieving this by continuously monitoring of the COP of the heat pump used in the system (electrical energy in - by measuring current and voltage drawn – water flow output and delta temp in and out of the system to give overall energy out. The ratio of out over in giving the COP) The 4 elements of this example system will be: 1. A solar PV array 2. Battery storage 3. A thermodynamic heat pump – Quoted COP of 4.0 to 5.2 over a temp range of -5 to 30 degrees Celsius 4. A Control System - Capable of monitoring where the energy powering the heat pump has originated – Solar PV, Renewable energy stored in the battery or from the grid and calculating the heat pump operating cost per Kw, switching off the heat pump if it is more expensive than fossil fuel boiler until sufficient stored renewable energy is available to start using the heat pump with this low cost - The target is to save approximately one third of the fossil fuel boiler running cost. (Required data - The current price of diesel per Kw, the price of grid electricity per Kw).
