K-water (Korea Water Resources Corporation, hereinafter “K-water”) is a public corporation, under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transporation, the Government agency in the Republic of Korea, that takes care of all water sector issues related to the development and management of multipurpose dam, hydro-power plants, water supply systems and other related facilities, both within Korea and overseas. In terms of the development of renewable energy, direct investments by K-water has been expanded, in recent years, to include solar, wind, and temperature difference technologies. Among them, temperature difference systems with a total capacity of 535RT (1882kW) at ten sites around the country are being operated by K-water, and a large system with a capacity of 3000RT (10.55MW) is under construction at the Lotte World Complex in Seoul, Korea. As well, K-water is planning to develop more temperature difference systems, totalling approximately 560MW, by 2021. The correlation between the temperature and type of the heat source (air or water) of a geothermal heat pump and the COP in winter was investigated. The economic feasibility of a cooling and heating system with an air heat source was the highest for units of 30RT and 50RT. Whereas units with a water heat source had good economic feasibility for capacities over 100RT. A study of heating and cooling energy savings for systems which utilize the temperature difference between water in a pipeline and air was carried out. In winter, the effect of ground heat exchange is approximately a 1.1°C temperature rise from 1.93°C to 3.04°C throughout 26km of the pipeline. Using an electric heater and heat storage tank can prevent equipment from freezing. |
