Utilization of low temperature excess heat from hydro-power plant Fala, for space heating at the on-site technical museum.
Fala, Podravje, Slovenia
The Drava Hydropower company (DEM) have identified the opportunity to exploit the excess heat to improve the heating system in the 100-year-old hydro powerplant museum Fala, via recovery of low-temperature waste heat produced as part of the cooling process in the adjacent hydro powerplant.
Benefits
The project is a case of good practice both in terms of developing and testing decision support tools developed as part of CE HEAT project with the purpose to accelerate waste heat uptake on the one hand, and demonstrating innovative uses of low temperature on-site waste heat that can be further deployed and scaled in this sector.
