| Abstract |
At the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Climate change Conference, representatives of the 195 member countries reached an agreement requiring all participating countries, including Korea, to establish proactive measures to fight climate change. Under this vision, energy network technologies are deemed as a key site of research towards meeting this goal. Herein, the headquarters of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) is a worthy site for carrying out energy network technology research insofar as it contains various heat sources. To prepare for this research, a study was conducted analyzing the heat sources at KIER based on measured data. The study also consisted of developeding simulation models to predict the amount of energy savings that could be derived by replacing an absorption chiller/heater with an absorption heat pump during winter seasons. In our simulation results, we observed a primary energy saving ratio of 65~72% based on the water temperature from the heat source of a coal power plant. |
