WSP Global Case Studies

Presentation Description: WSP has many district energy projects in countries outside the USA. This presentation will focus on lessons learned and major trends in foreign district energy systems. These lessons learned can be applied to US systems. Trends 1&2 - Consolidation and Heat Recovery - location Sweden. WSP will share a case study of combining multiple existing district energy systems together for economies of scale, avoided capital costs, and environmental sustainability. Heat recovery was used to add capacity in a sustainable way. Trend 3 - Water source heat pumps - location UK. WSP will share case studies of new water source heat pumps increasing electrification and sustainability of existing heat networks from the Olympic Village in London. Trend 4 - Electric Boilers - location Canada. WSP will share a case study of optimizing electric boiler selection and operation in an existing district energy system. Trend 5 - Heat Recovery from Data Centers - location UK. WSP will share lessons learned from confidential studies of heat recovery from data centers for district heating systems.

Case Study: Felix transmission pipeline - Sweden, sharing industrial heat Olympic Park heat network - London UK University of Western Ontario - Canada

Keywords: heat recovery, water source heat pump, electric boiler
