THE VOICE FOR THE UK’S DISTRICT ENERGY SCHEMES As we move into the Summer months, I would like to wish you all a safe and pleasant vacation wherever that may take you. When writing this our AGM/Conference was recently staged in London and I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who attended with around 130 registered to attend. Chris and I were delighted to see so many of you and thanks for all your feedback. We felt the new venue worked well and we expect to stay there for next year’s AGM/Conference. If you have any particular topics that you feel we should be discussing at the conference next year or any further feedback please let us have this as it is always welcome. In terms of the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to the announcements which are expected in mid July on the awards from the first round of the HNIP main scheme. This will really show what types of schemes are coming forward over the coming years and will need to be analysed to show what this is telling us. I have had a number of members meetings over the past couple of months, which I know members find useful so please do let us know if you would like one. I have also met a number of interesting prospective new members so hopefully will be announcing a few of these over the coming months, In terms of major changes for the sector, although I cannot provide an update on what is specifically discussed at the Heat Networks Market Framework Stakeholder Group meetings with BEIS, I can advise that in the meetings we are discussing some very important issues. These generally encompass issues of how the sector may be regulated in the future and what support mechanisms BEIS can/should put in place to support growth of the sector. It is expected that a consultation will come out from this piece of work later this year, so that will be an important document to look out for. Our approach at these meetings is to always try and provide a pragmatic way forward which will support the growth of the sector. ! 3

New Members We are pleased to welcome the following Associate Members to the association: Birdsall Services Ltd Principal Contact: Paul Birdsall, Managing Director All enquiries to: [email protected] An Introduction Statement from Birdsall Services Ltd: ‘We are delighted to be joining the ukDEA community. Birdsall are a family owned business, established back in 1975. Today we employ 60 engineers and staff and help operate and maintain 20 energy centres within district energy networks, predominantly in London. In the 1990’s we were heavily involved in the CHP market, our biggest project during that period being the BBC Television Centre. Today we’re back in the market, only as recently as three years ago, when we formed our Energy Services division. We work and partner with ESCo’s delivering mechanical, electrical HVAC and control services. Ironically we’re back at Television Centre operating the new energy centre. Last year we established an additional team specialising in the maintenance of HIU’s and other residential services. Birdsall are a regular participant at EMEX (Energy Management Exhibition) which is a superb community of like-minded, innovative organisations, pushing the development of energy management. We attend the show as much to participate and network with that community as much as to promote our company. We like to think of ourselves as innovative and we back that up with an R&D programme with a reasonable annual budget. We hope to actively participate with and contribute to the ukDEA community in the years ahead. We already work with or partner with a number of members. May we invite ukDEA members to attend EMEX in November at ExCel, attend some high-quality talks and meet with our Energy Services team on the Birdsall stand. Thank you for accepting us into your community.’ www.birdsall.co.uk 5

Members’ Spotlight At E.ON we’re leading the energy transition; keeping things smart, sustainable and personalised by offering every customer an energy solution that’s right for them. That means building future energy homes, businesses and smart cities. We make sure everything we do is focused on our customers, whether they’re individuals or families, big and small businesses, entire towns and cities. Around four million customers in the UK choose us to meet their energy needs, including more than 30,000 customers in our ever growing district heating business, making us one of the leading energy providers in the UK. As part of the E.ON Group, we’re also one of the foremost energy companies in the world. Across Europe – particularly in the Swedish, German and Danish markets – and with experience going back decades, E.ON is one of the leaders in decentralised, community based energy and heating networks. In the UK we already operate more than 60 individual district heating schemes and we’ve developed a significant portfolio and experience in the running of ESCo contracts for schemes we have designed and built, as well as those we have adopted. Blackburn Meadows Localised, decentralised energy is the future, and we had the chance to work with Sheffield City Council to breathe life back into the redundant former coal station site at Blackburn Meadows. In doing so we were able to provide a sustainable generation solution in the Yorkshire and Humber regions. We enabled the production of flexible, resilient and local renewable energy by designing and installing a 30MWe renewable biomass-fired combined heat and power plant at Blackburn Meadows with an associated district heating network serving locations such as the English Institute of Sport, IKEA & Sheffield Arena. As part of the development of the plant we constructed, commissioned and now operate a 10MW battery storage system, one of the first of its kind in the UK, which can help maintain the correct frequency on the grid, and promote greater integration of new renewable energy technologies. In addition to this we worked with Sheffield City Council to enhance the area’s appearance and biodiversity, through landscaping and constructing a bespoke onsite energy visitor centre to demonstrate energy production and pay tribute to the site’s industrial heritage. Our solution produces enough electricity to power the equivalent of around 40,000 homes and enough heat for 18,000 homes, while at the same time recycling 250,000 tonnes of locally sourced waste wood that would otherwise have gone to landfill. 24

Citigen London Citigen is a combined heating, cooling and power plant based in a Grade 2 listed building in Farringdon, in the City of London. Housed in a structure originally built in 1893, the plant was used first as a cold store for Smithfield Meat Market, before becoming an electrical generating facility for the market which lasted until 1995 when it became a combined heat and power plant. The Citigen low carbon network has a production capacity of 8.6MWe, 17.6MWth and a chill capacity of 6MW. The heat network runs for 6km across the city, whilst the chilled water network is currently 4km long, with additional connections being regularly added to both. ! ! Elephant & Castle, London Elephant Park is a £2.3bn urban regeneration project in the London borough,. E.ON has been selected by developers Lendlease to design, build and operate a gas fired CHP energy centre to serve 4,500 homes, 50 new shops, restaurants, cafés and a new park. Elephant Park is the only project in London to be part of the C40 Cities Climate Positive Development Programme, putting sustainability and energy efficiency at its core. The main energy centre, due to be completed this year, will comprise of two 800kWe gas fired CHPs, 16 modular gas boilers and two 65m! thermal stores. This will provide sufficient capacity for the development, plus additional wider connections. Working with Lendlease we are committing to deliver a zero-carbon standard through the delivery of bio-methane, achieved through certification of offsite injected bio-methane. 25

The strategy within our business, which complements the aims of the London Plan, is to extend the network outside the current site boundary. We’re actively engaged in identifying and connecting neighbouring developments to the Elephant and Castle district heating scheme. Collectively, E.ON and Lendlease have successfully worked with Southwark Council and the Greater London Authority, plus many varied local stakeholders, to provide a District Heating Network (DHN) that has been delivered within a complex urban area, addressing and overcoming the challenges associated with navigating existing infrastructure along with stringent air quality and noise restraints. The development is one of only 19 projects globally to be accepted onto the C40 Cities Programme. An initiative of global importance to Southwark and the Mayor of London, it recognises the low carbon approach in terms of sharing our information and best practice , the high performance of our buildings, provision of a centralised energy centre and DHN, together with our innovative approach to green measures including the use of bio-methane.

Members’ Spotlight Pre-insulated piping systems for district heating with minimal heat losses. Powerpipe Systems AB was founded in 1986 and manufactures products for the distribution of district heating and cooling and steam with high operational reliability and small temperature losses. Powerpipe is the market leader in the district heating markets in both Sweden and Norway. Other markets are Great Britain, France, Finland, Denmark and The Middle East. With our competence and experience of big and small projects, together with our flexible production facilities, we can adapt products and manufacturing to ensure that our deliveries are always at the right time and in the right place. We don’t just supply the pipes, our team is often called upon to help solve structural engineering problems. Our technicians are knowledgeable and creative and work hard to find solutions to problems that can arise during the course of a DH installation. At Powerpipe, we are happy to make a positive contribution to the climate and environment and to be able to offer district heating solutions to an increasing number of countries. We also have a wealth of technical knowledge that allows us to find solutions in very varied environments. In Iceland, we run underground heating through the cold and barren landscape. In Sweden and Norway the conditions vary greatly from those in the UK. Powerpipe works like a large company when it comes to deliveries and manufacturing capacity, but as a small company when it comes to customer contact and organisation. The decision routes are short. We avoid administrative inertia. We can therefore carry out adjustments more easily and adapt to your changing needs. All projects are subject to changing conditions, HARDWARE but with our flexibility, we can provide quick and reliable service. We are also good listeners. There are other differences too. Foresightedness when it comes to stock-keeping of pipes, joints, valves, etc is one and means as a supplier we are always prepared. Close relations with carriers and flexibility in planning and implementation of transport is another. That provides reliable and accurate deliveries. Our customer service contains many components that highlight the differences between us and others. Good service is based on many years’ experience of systems, knowledge of the technology and a willingness to exceed expectations.

Members’ Product Spotlight Frese DELTA T Control System The Frese DELTA T Control System is an easy-to-use solution for measuring, monitoring and optimizing the \"T between the inlet and outlet of a terminal unit, in order to increase the system efficiency and reduce pump energy. The DELTA T Control System measures and monitors the actual \"T of the coil. If the \"T is equal to or higher than the \"T set point, the Frese DELTA T Control System will not change the input signal to the actuator and the flow will be according to the BMS input signal. If the \"T is lower than the \"T set point, the Frese DELTA T Control System will lower the input signal to the actuator and thereby decrease the flow through the control valve until the set point \"T is reached. The Frese DELTA T Control System can be used in both heating and cooling systems to optimise the inlet and outlet temperature difference of a fan coil unit or air handling unit. Benefits • Energy saving through the control of \"T in the system. • Provides optimal efficiency for chillers and boilers. • By reducing the required flow to achieve the system \"T, additional flow capacity can be released. • Simple installation between the BMS and the 0-10VDC modulating actuator. • Quick and simple to set up. • Can be easily retrofitted to an existing system. Features • Easy to use buttons for setting the optimum \"T set point. • Automatically detects whether the Control System is installed in a heating or cooling system. • Temperature sensors can be mounted on a varity of pipe dimensions from DN15 to DN300. • To avoid starving the coil of flow the DELTA T Control System is programmed so it never sends a voltage signal to the actuator of less than 1.5 V.

S mart M-Bus is used to analyse heat networks, at both individual consumer level and system-wide. This data can be used for both billing and network performance. Smart M-Bus can incorporate M-Bus disconnect module which, can isolate the heat interface unit (HIU) to eliminate debt risk. When combined with the Boble app, this is transformed into a pay-as-you-go system that allows users to view their current supply status and available credit. Users can also make payments through the app. Network performance monitoring can be easily performed by using Kamstrup consumer and system energy meters. In addition to standard metering data, the meters can also measure volume weighted average flow temperatures (VWAFT) and volume weighted average return temperatures (VWART), as well as Coefficient of Performance (COP). Maximum power and flow readings are also recorded to help monitor peak loads.F urther information: www.sav-systems.com/smartmbus Principal contact: Silas Flytkjaer Email: [email protected] www.sav-systems.com 32
