What does the Demonstratorium consist of?
5
The Demonstratorium comprises a number
of individual facilities placed in different
locations on the DTU Risø Campus. Each
is anchored in the research environment
with the relevant competencies. The facilities
are wide-ranging within cleantech,
but focus on energy technologies and
power, as well as their interaction. The areas
covered include:
• Energy production, e.g. wind energy
and bioenergy
• Storage and energy conversion
• Intelligent energy consumption, e.g.
LED lighting
• Energy systems
The structure of the facilities is modular
and flexible to allow simple and versatile
adaption as well as the replacement of
test and demonstration projects as needed.
Keeping Demonstratorium operating
costs low is a priority and will involve focusing
on flexible facilities that exist only
when in use and which support other basis
activities at DTU.
The activities in the cleantech Demonstratorium
should be visible in the Science
Park, for example, by locating the main
management and control of experiments,
as well as visualisation of online data, in
one Demonstratorium building in the Science
Park.
The facilities need to be linked together
in an interconnected supply, data and
measurement system to enable coherent
monitoring and measurement of the various
technologies and solutions in the
system – from laboratory scale through
demonstration scale to implementation in
a smaller, demarcated energy system. In
addition, the facilities need to be physically
and virtually linked using a flexible and
intelligent network that manages and distributes
production and energy consumption
in the form of e.g. electricity, natural
gas, hydrogen, heat and biomass. Energy
storage over longer periods, i.e. months,
is one of the major challenges for the energy
supply of the future. DTU has solid
research competencies in this area, which
is why storage will be a key component in
the cleantech Demonstratorium network.
The integration of the test and demonstration
facilities can be scaled from covering
single cleantech units to covering
everything in one coherent energy system,
to involvement of supply to the entire
DTU Risø Campus and Science Park.
In this way, experiments and testing can
be carried out in controlled conditions, e.g.
in real time. Satellite links can also be established
to other test and demonstration
facilities in Denmark, such as DTU Lyngby
Campus and Bornholm, so experiments
can be carried out using other green technologies.
