Third-cycle subject: Energy Technology
Today there are about 4000 supermarkets in Sweden, and those account for about 3% of Swedish electricity use, where the refrigeration system typically accounts to about 50% of the supermarket’s total electric energy use. In modern supermarkets the refrigeration system can be designed to also provide space heating and air conditioning simultaneously to the supermarket’s own building, this is achieved at quite high efficiency.
There is a potential for the supermarket’s energy systems to export heating and air conditioning to neighboring residential buildings and shopping centers. However, it is in practice difficult to achieve a successful collaboration between the supermarket’s and the nearby building’s owners. This is mainly because heating is typically included in the property lease, lack of technical and economical knowledge, poor control and monitoring of the energy system, etc.
Therefore, there is a need to show that collaboration between the supermarket and nearby building owners can be technically possible and financially profitable for both parties. This project will provide the required technical solutions and business models.
The project is co-financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and 11 industrial partners who will facilitate its implementation.
