17 Hybrid eco energy system Basic heating energy system is heat pump (40 kw th, COP = 4.5) with 4 boreholes per 200 m each Also installed 15 kw solar PV, solar collectors and 20 kw wind power Electricity car loading should be possible Electricity trade Installed steel tank with a volume of 1000 l and capacity of 25 kwh ( T= 30 C) as a short time heat storage 12/06/

21 Sustainability assessment of the hybrid system Total GHG emissions in the different cases Monthly GHG emissions in the different cases (excluding production of heat pumps and solar panels. The sustainability assessment for greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions calculated over 20 years. Four different cases: Case 1, there are ground-source heat pumps with heat storage and 100 m 2 (15 kw) solar PV panels. Case 2, same as Case 1 but there is no heat storage Case 3, ground-source heat pumps with heat storage, but no solar panels. Ref. case, only electric heating 12/06/

22 Photos of hybrid eco center Saved money by using heat pump gives 6.5 years pay-back time with 5 % of interest compared to direct electricity cost of heating If Solar PV panels of 15 kw is included the pay-back time is 9 y Wind power 20 kw with heat pump gives also pay-back time of 9 y 12/06/

23 Heat pump and heat storage Heat source drilling Wind power unit Solar PV cells Distributed Energy System (DESY) Hybrid energy system Solar collectors 12/06/

24 Conclusions, buildings Extremely well insulated envelope and effective heat recovery from exhaust air it is possible to achieve the passive house level 15 kwh/m 2 Improvements in HVAC systems are more cost-effective than improving all the time the thermal insulation of the envelope from the Finnish reference values of the year 2012 ZnB level is difficult to reach because of heating of hot water, if you do not build also solar heating system for heating or/and warm waste water recovering system ZnB resulted in lower environmental impacts than the other cases (district heating Case, electricity Case) in all environmental impact categories except for eutrophication impacts Investments in heating and heat recovery devices are the most advantageous ones 12/06/

25 Conclusions, hybrid solutions Hybrid solar PV or wind power is used with heat pump and electricity purchase is included as well. Saved money by using heat pump gives 6.5 years pay-back time with 5 % compared to direct electricity cost of heating. If Solar PV panels of 15 kw is included the pay-back time is 9 years. Wind power 20 kw with heat pump gives also pay-back time of 9 years Three self-sufficient case farms (two grain farms and one dairy farm) with solar energy and wind energy were too expensive investment for reasonable pay-back time compared to bio fuel used in the boiler. While comparing return of investment time heat pump has faster payback time (8,2 years) compared to those of wood chips (10,2 years) and pellets (14,2 years) 12/06/

26 Conclusions, optimisation and GHG emissions Based on the developed sustainability optimization framework, it is possible to compare different local hybrid energy production options from the wide sustainability perspective. It is possible to weigh the different sustainability criteria with local priorities and to find the locally optimal solution for energy production system The environmental sustainability study of the Eco-CHP case showed that it is possible to reduce significantly the local GHG emissions by replacing even part of the natural gas heat production with biomass CHP plant and considerable in Eco-CHP concept Expert views there is much potential for small-scale production, but the future development can take very different paths, depending on how energy policy, citizen involvement, and business concepts evolve 12/06/
