Super Supermarkets

The main purpose of the Super Supermarkets project is to evaluate, demonstrate and implement the full potential of district heating production and electricity grid system services already available, but unexploited in supermarkets. The goal is, that 3-5 year after project 500-1000 Danish supermarket will be retrofitted. Furthermore a Danish roll out will open up for export of the technology solutions.

Project description

The main focus of the Super Supermarkets project is to evaluate, demonstrate and implement the full potential of district heating production and electricity grid system services already available, but unexploited in supermarkets.

The Super Supermarkets project will optimize and standardize recycling of heat from cooling systems, and expand it with two extra levels of energy system integration. First level is to utilize the auxiliary compressor capacity in the supermarkets (400 MW) as additional heat pump capacity in the district heating networks. Second level is to aggregate supermarket cooling and heat production systems and activate them as an electricity grid service to help level out the fluctuations of wind power.

The project group has world-class knowledge of cooling and district heating systems, and the main business actors on supermarkets, cooling system equipment and district heating companies are represented in the project group.

The activities in the Super Supermarkets project are based on three main stages:

  1. Pre-studies and “state of the art” definitions

  2. Demonstration in three existing supermarkets and evaluation of demonstration results

  3. Book of guidelines and intensive targeted communication to all interest groups to secure a nationwide roll out and long term follow up on results.

This strategy secures, that important findings disseminate to key interest groups.
