📋 Tender Overview
With the real-life laboratory Integrated Heat Change Wilhelmsburg IW 3 Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg is showing new solutions for a safe and affordable heat supply based on renewable energies in urban areas. The coupling of the areas of heat electricity and mobility enables an energy-efficient and CO2- neutral supply of the rapidly growing district. With the official handover of the grant notification by the responsible State Secretary for Energy Policy in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy Andreas Feicht the official starting shot has now been given for the real laboratory of the energy transition.State Secretary Andreas Feicht After WESTKSTE 100 the first real hydrogen laboratory on the coast of Schleswig-Holstein went into operation last week Hamburg is demonstrating from today with IW 3 - Integrated WarmthWende Wilhelmsburg like a real laboratory in an urban environment works. With the concept of the integrated heating transition IW 3 becomes a beacon for the energy and heating transition in urban areas. The concepts tested here can be transferred across Germany. A geothermal system in Wilhelmsburg is used to extract geothermal energy from a thermal water deposit at a depth of around 3500 meters and feed it into the local district heating network. Seasonal excess heat is temporarily stored in a near-surface water-conducting rock in the warm summer months. A cross-system technology platform connects heat electricity and mobility via a virtual power plant for an intelligent efficient and regenerative energy supply in the city district. In addition the partners involved are developing an open marketplace for IW 3 through which energy from different sources and from different providers can be traded transparently highly automated and efficiently.Overall the BMWi supports the consortium partners of IW 3 - Hamburg Energie GmbH Geothermie Hamburg Wilhelmburg GmbH Hamburg University of Applied Sciences Christian-Albrecht-University of Kiel Hamburg Institute CONSOLAQUA Beratungsgesellschaft mbH - with around 22.84 million euros.Integrated heat transition Wilhelmsburg IW 3 is one of the 20 winners of the BMWi ideas competition for real laboratories for the energy transition which was announced on July 18 2019 by Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier in Berlin. With the real laboratories innovation projects are implemented on an industrial scale in order to accelerate the transfer of technologies and solutions for the energy transition to the market.The real laboratories of the energy transition are part of the 7th energy research program with which the federal government supports research and development in the field of future-oriented energy technologies. As part of the energy research program companies and science that develop new technologies and solutions for the energy transition are funded.
