According to the Energy Strategy 2050+, the share of district heating (DH) in Switzerland’s heat supply is set to rise sharply to around 30 %. An increasingly popular type of district heating (DH) network is the anergy network, which distributes energy from a low-temperature source to decentralized heat pumps installed in buildings. Many low-temperature energy sources available in Switzerland have limitations, either in their power output (e.g., waste heat from sewage treatment plants) or in their availability during cold winter days, if at all (e.g., solar thermal energy). Due to the high amount of energy released (or absorbed) during the liquid/solid phase transition of water, ice storage are suitable for storing large amounts of energy at temperatures near 0°C. For this reason, ice storages are being used in buildings as an energy source for heat pumps in Switzerland, in so-called solar-ice systems. However, until now, there has been a lack of analysis on integrating large-scale ice storage into district heating networks. In IceGrids, we explored the energetic feasibility and economic viability of integrating ice storages into low-temperature district heating networks, also known as 5th generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC). As a case study, our investigation focused on the Jona energy network, which utilizes waste heat from a waste water treatment plant (WWTP) to supply decentralized heat pumps, making the heat usable. Ice storage tanks can be easily integrated into 5GDHC networks that employ an antifreeze heat transfer fluid, as the Jona network. However, freezing of the heat exchanger on the sewage treatment plant side must be prevented by a partial recirculation from the flow pipe. Based on the results in this study, the following findings emmerge: In combination with power limited waste heat sources, even small ice storage volumes are sufficient to bridge power peaks in winter. As a lot of surplus waste heat is readily available for regenerating ice storage systems during the transition period, ice storage systems can more than double the capacity of such sources. When combining ice storage tanks with scalable seasonal heat sources (e.g.outdoor air or solarthermal energy), ice storage sizes of approx. 0.6m3/MWh are required to enable year-round operation of the network at 0 °C.
