Executive Summary The South Bank Employers Group (SBEG) and London South Bank University (LSBU) were supported by the London Development Agency (LDA) to assess the feasibility of installing Combined Heat & Power (CHP) across the SBEG area. Simple building data was collected on the major buildings in and near to the SBEG area that could play a part in determining the success of CHP across the SBEG area. This included floor area, building type and location. In addition more detailed building data has been obtained from a number of SBEG members. 120 buildings of different types were identified as potential loads for CHP, including around 15 proposed new developments. A master planning software tool was used to assess and place the indentified buildings into strategic clusters to allow further analysis of the overall energy demand patterns for each cluster. Potential locations for the CHP plant/energy centres were also considered and heating/cooling and private wire distribution networks were investigated for each cluster using GIS mapping to estimate the infrastructure costs. A rating system was used to identify the key existing buildings in each cluster based on heating demand, electricity demand and distance from CHP plant. This focused the analysis on 42 existing buildings and 11 new developments. A CHP model was then used to assess the economic viability and CO2 emissions of each of the clusters noted below: Blackfriars South Bank Waterloo London South Bank University Each cluster was modelled using key existing buildings, then, in addition, key existing buildings and new developments were modelled. The potential Waterloo Station redevelopment was assumed as a separate analysis due to its potential size.

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group Further analysis included the assessment of a strategic option linking Blackfriars, South Bank and Waterloo clusters to one single CHP Plant. Trigeneration (CCHP) was also considered. Biomass heating as a stand-by and top-up to CHP was considered providing supply chain issues can be resolved. Including biomass renewable content could make the scheme much more attractive to developers in meeting the 20% requirement of the London Mayor. This is worthy of further investigation.

1. Introduction There are a significant number of new high densities mixed use developments being planned in the South Bank area for delivery over the next five years. Such growth in building and energy density presents a rare opportunity to develop an integrated and area wide approach to energy supply and distribution, incorporating low carbon energy generation technologies with district heating and potentially cooling networks.

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group assessment and inclusion of existing buildings will help to catalyse the scheme initially, providing known & stable demand in the short term. Such a scheme will present a significantly greater energy efficient solution to the supply of energy to these buildings and hence reduce their carbon footprint. This approach is entirely consistent with Mayoral policies and supplementary planning guidance in respect of energy efficiency and carbon reductions targets for buildings in London. In addition, the recently published Waterloo Opportunity Area Development Framework, also recognises the potential of area wide low carbon energy networks as a means of facilitating sustainable development, and proposes that this approach is explored further. Opportunities for renewable forms of energy will also arise once the concept of a district heating network is introduced and there are likely to be other benefits, such as space saving within developments and lower operating costs for occupants As a result of these opportunities, the South Bank Employers Group (SBEG) and London South Bank University (LSBU) were commissioned by the London Development Agency (LDA) to assess the feasibility of installing Combined Heat & Power (CHP) across the SBEG area. This project aimed to quantify the building energy demands and analyse various energy supply options in order to estimate the likely costs, practicality, carbon savings and benefits that could delivered by adopting this approach, concluding with the identification of a recommended solution. This report sets out: the work carried out building data collected an analysis of the data obtained key findings, conclusions and recommendations a brief commentary on the possible way forward This report is based on the assumptions shown in section 4 and Appendix D that were current in mid 2008. The report summarises the work in phase 1 and 2 of the programme of work shown in Appendix F developed in early 2008. The scope of the project extended slightly outside the SBEG area, shown in Figure 1.2, in order to ensure that large buildings and developments on the outer edge of the area that could contribute to CHP project were taken into account. The study was not restricted to SBEG members buildings but remains focused on the larger buildings in the area and is therefore dominated by SBEG members properties. A list of SBEG

Key benefits for building owners, developers and property managers that could come from the introduction of CHP include: Lower energy running costs Reduced CO2 emissions Reduced maintenance costs Less plant space required in buildings Helps meet the Mayors energy planning policy
Whilst the LDA are focused on reducing emissions, building owners and property managers are motivated by increased efficiencies and reductions in operating costs. Developers are also focused on reduced CO2 emissions in order to meet the London Mayors energy planning policy.
2. Objectives This reports aims to answer the following objectives: To estimate the annual heat, electricity and cooling energy consumption and peak demands of existing buildings and known future developments in the South Bank area, taking into account any existing district heating networks in the area and the timing of future developments; To identify a number of options for low-carbon energy supply and distribution to these developments and systems. Report on the technical viability of the options, including a determination of appropriate plant capacity, potential plant locations and principal infrastructure routes; To estimate the likely capital, operating and 25 year whole life cost of the options, when compared with a do-minimum scenario; To estimate the primary energy and resulting carbon savings which could be delivered by the different supply options; To provide recommendations on the way forward and present these to a workshop involving SBEGs members and other stakeholders.

3. Approach The project began with an initial project meeting with SBEG, LDA to discuss the project plan, methodology and deliverables. This covered the practical issues involved in obtaining energy consumption & demand data for existing buildings, new developments and any existing district heating schemes. An introductory presentation was made to other key stakeholders at a SBEG Property Group meeting. Simple building data was collected on the major existing buildings in and near to the SBEG area that might play a part in determining the success of CHP across the SBEG area. The data collected consisted mainly of floor area, building type and location. Initially, this was gathered by walking the area and identifying large buildings, estimating floor area and identifying the type of usage. Floor areas were then firmed up using GIS mapping to measure floor plates more accurately, leading to better estimates of total floor area. Information about future developments was collected through SBEG which holds up to date outline information on all large schemes. Again, this consisted of mainly floor area, building type and location, alongside the likely date of construction. Attempts were then made to gather more detailed data on each of these buildings using a questionnaire, shown in Appendix E. Information was also sought regarding the type of energy supply systems currently operated within existing buildings and developments e.g. size and capacity of principle plant, availability of space for additional plant, the distribution medium used, operating temperatures & pressures etc. Actual metered energy consumption and demand data for existing buildings was sought, but only very limited data was returned. LSBU have also attempted to identify any existing district heating/cooling schemes and proposed district heating/cooling schemes being planned in the area. 120 buildings of different types were identified as potential loads for CHP including around 15 proposed new developments. A specially developed masterplanning software tool was used to help establish clusters of buildings to allow an analysis of the overall energy demand patterns for each cluster. LSBU then developed a rating system to identify the key existing buildings in each cluster based on heating demand, electricity demand and distance from CHP plant. Potential locations for the CHP plant were then considered and the rating system was again used to concentrate the analysis on key focus buildings within each cluster. Through an iterative process, the LSBU team focused the analysis around four clusters totalling forty two existing buildings and eleven new developments. infrastructure costs. Potential plant locations, heating/cooling and private wire distribution networks were then developed for each cluster. GIS mapping was then used to estimate the
8|Page

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group Simple floor area data was used to generate energy load profiles based on standard energy benchmarks. These hourly energy demand profiles for all buildings (existing & proposed) have been integrated into an energy model which takes into account the growth in demand over time as new developments are built. These energy supply options were then modelled against the building load patterns across a series of scenarios for each cluster. These scenarios were based on different plant configurations and operating regimes. A CHP model was then used to assess the economic viability and CO2 emissions of each cluster CHP plant. The project then identified possible energy supply options in terms of both technology, plant location and interconnections. Work focused on CHP supplying district heating and electricity but also considered trigeneration (CCHP) options, biomass and river water cooling. Electricity was modelled on the basis of using the distribution network as a supply route versus private wire electricity supply options. Each cluster was modelled across a combination of four different approaches, namely: Private wire Use of distribution network (DUOS) Heat Led control strategy Power Led control strategy
Each cluster was also modelled for key existing buildings only, then key existing buildings plus new developments. The potential Waterloo Station redevelopment was included in a separate analysis. Further analysis included an assessment of a strategic option linking Blackfriars, South Bank and Waterloo clusters to one single CHP Plant. Trigeneration (CCHP) was then added as a further option to some of the leading options. A brief analysis of the energy development/plant development/investment profile was then be carried out to provide an early view of phasing, levels of investment and investment timing. The CHP model was used in an iterative way to identify critical loads by running different scenarios and to develop different load scenarios for the piping network optimization. The modelling gradually became more detailed and the assumptions refined to identify the most deliverable, commercially viable and environmentally sustainable solution. The leading scenarios with the most economic overall approach and the greatest CO2 reductions were then identified. Work was then carried out to refine maps showing the distribution of the building clusters, proposed energy centre locations, the energy supply options, infrastructure routes, etc, and the system interconnections across the South Bank area. These maps show the proposed phasing of development over the next ten years.

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group An interim progress presentation has been made to the SBEG Property Group. A final presentation of the findings set out in this report is planned in the form of a workshop of key stakeholders, notably the SBEG property group, developers and their design consultants plus any organisations operating or planning district heating/cooling systems in the area. 4. Data collection 4.1 Building data collection process External site visits were carried in almost the whole of the SBEG area to identify large buildings that might represent a significant energy demand in relation to CHP. Rough estimates of the floor area of the buildings were made by walking around the buildings, pacing distances, identifying building shape and counting the number of storeys etc. Pictures of all existing large buildings have been taken in order to record the location, number of storeys, building style etc. As data was obtained it was entered into spreadsheets and represented on a map. This mapping exercise clearly indicated four potential clusters of buildings with large loads, each with a good mix of new versus existing buildings. A comprehensive building list was then developed in Microsoft Excel to log all known information about each building. This contained the following information of all the 120 large buildings identified in the SBEG area: Building name Building type Gross internal floor area of the building (m) Source of the information Corresponding cluster Post code Status of the building Cooling (i.e. portion of the building air-conditioned) SBEG member/Non member Address Website of the building Email address Phone number
Buildings known to have individual domestic boilers or room electric heating were discounted as being unsuitable for CHP. It was assumed that converting such buildings to a central system would be too expensive. In particular, this excluded a large student resident population at the universities in the area. Discussions were also held with Peabody Estates, the main social housing operator in the area, regarding 10 | P a g e

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group their buildings but these also proved to be serviced by individual domestic boilers. It was not always possible to identify the method of heating for every building but the majority have been confirmed. Further investigation is necessary to identify the exact heating system in a small number of buildings but this should not have a major effect on the final results of the study. In addition LSBU attempted to identify existing district heating/cooling schemes and proposed district heating/cooling schemes being planned. London Borough of Southwark provided data for seven community heating schemes they operate. London Borough ofLambeth also provided a list of community heating schemes they operate although none of these were directly relevant to the study. LSBU made every effort to identify other community energy and district heating schemes throughout the area but found none except large blocks of flats understood to have central boilers. Google Earth software and GIS mapping was then used to refine the crude data of the remaining buildings in the spreadsheet. This provided a reasonably accurate estimate of gross internal building floor area. Where more detailed data was obtained from SBEG members this was used in the estimates. A second, more detailed, four page questionnaire was then developed to gather further data from the SBEG member buildings, as shown in Appendix E. This questionnaire was sent by SBEG to members. This included requests for: Background building and contact information Annual energy consumption data Building occupancy levels and operational patterns Accommodation and equipment with significant influences on energy use Description of building services
Almost all SBEG members returned completed questionnaires. However, many of the returns were incomplete and lacked some of the detail required. Whilst these returns provided useful background material they did not provide a significant amount of detailed information and had no major influence on the studies findings. Sixteen questionnaires were returned (from twenty three sent) from: BFI Derwent London London Eye Beetham Delancey IBM ITV 11 | P a g e

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group Guys & St Thomas Kings College London National Theatre P&O Park Plaza South bank Centre Scottish Widows Shell White House
As part of the above, a separate version of this questionnaire was developed to gather data on proposed new development as clearly energy data are not available pre-construction. In some cases, significant assumptions have been made regarding the completion date of future developments. The new developments are at different stages and there are more unknowns in buildings at planning stage than those in design. A small number of new developments are currently under construction and these have now been incorporated into the analysis as existing buildings since they are likely to be completed before CHP might be installed as a result of this work. Later in the project a second supplementary questionnaire was sent to all the focus buildings via SBEG, see Appendix E. This aimed to identify: Electrical supply, voltage, incomers, transformers etc Heat supply, boiler output, boiler room location etc. Cooling supply, chiller output, chiller room location etc. Future plans to install CHP Any existing connections to district heating/cooling schemes Current gas and electricity prices
Only five questionnaires were returned (from forty two sent) from: Delancey IBM ITV Shell White House
Few of these supplementary questionnaires were returned. As a consequence, some assumptions have had to be made about some buildings. Site visits were conducted at St Thomas Hospital, three Kings College 12 | P a g e

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group buildings and to three buildings in the South bank Centre. Potential plant locations have been visited including the undercrofts under Waterloo Bridge. Potential pipework routes have also been walked to identify any major practical constraints.

Figure 4.3 Focused buildings in each cluster Following the ranking process and a number of iterations through the CHP model, fifty three focus buildings were identified as shown in Figure 4.3. These went forward into a full economic analysis of each cluster.
5. Modelling Analysis was based on an existing CHP model and a load profiling tool developed jointly by LSBU and Carbon Descent under a knowledge transfer programme. The load profiler was extended to include new types of buildings, cooling loads etc as part of this study. A building data spreadsheet holds the data from all buildings considered. Excluded buildings were removed and a cut down data set of floor area, building type etc was used as the basic input file. This input data file was fed to a specially developed master planning tool which allowed LSBU to switch individual buildings in and out to form clusters. This iterative cluster analysis gave rise to the final four clusters. The load profiler was then used to create heat, power and cooling demand energy load profiles for each cluster based on typical energy benchmarks. This iterative modelling process is shown in Figure 5.1.

Figure 5. 1 Iterative modelling process Using the load profiler masterplanning tools it was possible to develop load profiles for an entire area (cluster of buildings) to be supplied by a single CHP plant. Figure 5.2 shows an example of the CHP master planning software. These cluster energy profiles - a summation of the energy loads of between 15 to 30 buildings- were used as the input to the main CHP analysis model.

This main CHP model contains detailed information on costs and efficiencies for a wide range of CHP units from major UK manufacturers and suppliers. This model outputs technical information like hours run, engine inputs and outputs etc. It also provides an economic analysis showing simple payback period, net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). The model also provides an environmental assessment with outputs like CO2 emissions, CO2 per invested, CO2 per NPV etc. The model analyses a ranges of CHP sizes and the CHP plant with the best IRR was selected as the optimum. An example of the output for the CHP analyser is shown in Figure 5.3.

Using a combination of pin board maps and the master planning tool, four main clusters were identified comprising the bulk of the main buildings identified by the building data collection process. The four clusters are shown in Figure 6.2. There was a noticeable lack of clusters of large suitable buildings between LSBU and South Bank area.

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group Southbank Centre Waterloo Road Shell Centre Blackfriars Bridge
Further investigation from site visits resulted in four particular locations then being identified as most suitable and these are shown in Figure 6.3. These were selected because they were reasonably central within the clusters and within the spread of large buildings already identified. They also had the following benefits: Leake Street (Waterloo) railway arches in a little-used street that are likely to present relatively easy to obtain space with low commercial value and low rental/purchase costs to the project. Close to Waterloo Station it presents a range of supply opportunities including supplying electricity to Network Rail for the tracks (not analysed) and to the massive proposed new development of the station. Although the arches themselves are relatively small, each arch could probably hold a 3MWe CHP plant to form a modular arrangement. Waterloo undercroft (Southbank) a series of under crofts underneath the southern end of Waterloo Bridge facing on to the Imax concourse. Owned by the South bank Centre, these spaces are currently used as storage and are likely to present relatively easy to obtain space with low commercial value and low rental/purchase costs to the project. However, it is understood that there are proposals to convert them into retail space but this has not been confirmed. Close to a 66kV EDF substation it presents easy connection to the local electrical distribution network. Although the undercrofts are unusual shapes, they are relatively large and could probably hold a series 3MWe CHP plant to form a very large modular arrangement. Blackfriars Road (Blackfriars) railway arches under the southern end of the old Blackfriars Bridge. Currently used as a car park for Ludgate House they are likely to present relatively easy to obtain space with low commercial value and low rental/purchase costs to the project. Close to the proposed Beetham Tower development it presents a central location in this cluster. The arches themselves are relatively large. Each arch could probably hold a 3MWe CHP plant to form a modular arrangement. J Block LSBU (LSBU) redevelopment and extension to J Block plant room on the LSBU campus. Currently this holds boiler plant with a small district heating network between buildings. LSBU have been keen to get CHP on site for some time for teaching, research and showcasing purposes as well as carbon reduction. This space should not present a great problem to obtain if the existing boilers are replaced and would have relatively low commercial value and low rental/purchase costs to the project. This plant room is at the heart of the campus and could be linked to the new Centre for Efficient and Renewable Energy in Buildings (CEREB) a teaching, research and showcasing space to be opened in early 2010. Although the plant room is relatively small, it is anticipated that the main CHP plant would sit outside this in a glass plant room to allow easy viewing. This space could probably hold a 3MWe CHP plant. 20 | P a g e

A building rating system was developed to assess the potential each building had in relation to a cluster around a selected CHP location. Buildings with individual domestic boilers were excluded and the remaining rating was based on annual heat load, annual electrical load and distance

Table 6.1 Criteria for ranking buildings The rating was calculated out of 100 as follows: Rating = Community Boiler x (Peak Load + Building Ownership + Piping Distance) The final rating list is shown in Appendix A. This is based on existing buildings only, as these were believed to be the main driver for initialising and initiating a CHP project started. Nearby new developments were then added in to each cluster to reach the focus buildings shown in Table 6.2 This focused the analysis on forty two existing buildings and eleven new developments across four clusters: Waterloo, South Bank, Blackfriars and LSBU.

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group Alongside these buildings four other small outlying clusters of more distant, but high energy load, buildings were tested: Three large Bankside buildings (Blackfriars) Palestra and others (Blackfriars) Maclaren House and others (LSBU) Scovell Estate district heating and others (LSBU)
When run through the economic model, all four additional outlying clusters proved to be uneconomic due to the distance from the CHP plant and hence the additional pipework costs. These buildings were then discounted from the analysis leaving the focus buildings shown in Table 6.2

Once the clusters were established, the load profile and master planning tools were used to form demand patterns for each cluster of buildings as an input to the economic CHP model.

Figure 6.8 Power and cooling demand profiles for an example cluster Actual demand profiles for the clusters containing the focus buildings are shown in Appendix B. The peak demands in each cluster are shown in Table 6.3. The proposed Waterloo Station redevelopment is so large that this cluster was analysed with and without the station development. It became apparent from the cluster mapping and analysis that the three clusters along the river could be connected, providing a more strategic approach. Also, it was apparent that the LSBU cluster is too far away for it to be economic to connect to the other three. A strategic option was therefore developed to amalgamate the three riverside clusters, Blackfriars, South Bank and Waterloo with one large plant room at its centre. This is shown in more detail in Section 6.4 Scenario Blackfriars South Bank LSBU Waterloo (ex Station development) Waterloo (inc Station development) Strategic (3 clusters) Peak Heat Demand (MW) 32 29 11 27 39 100 Peak Power Demand (MW) 26 11 8 20 28 63

South Bank cluster - comprises the major theatres and arts centres on the South bank, such as the National Theatre and the Royal Festival Hall which accounts for the heat and power loads in the late evenings. It also includes Large Kings College university buildings, ITN, IBM and some residential buildings. LSBU cluster - comprises university offices, libraries, lecture halls although the university halls of residence are not included as they are too far away. Two other residential blocks and a large office are included. Waterloo cluster includes the Shell Centre and Ernst & Young offices, County Hall with a number of large residential blocks plus St. Thomas Hospital. However St Thomass hospital will have its own CHP by early 2009 and the demand profiles have been adjusted to account for this fact. The Waterloo cluster also includes a number of large new office and residential blocks. It is clear from the cluster heat and power profiles that there is very little demand at night. The economic model has therefore assumed that the CHP will not run at night i.e. between midnight and 6am (usually uneconomic due to lower cost of grid electricity during the night). 6.4 Pipework networks Having determined the building clusters, cluster energy demands and the most likely CHP plant locations, it was then possible to establish proposals for pipework routes and approximate sizing. By including approximate energy centre costs, private wire costs etc it was possible to estimate the overall capital costs of each scenario. The pipework runs were then optimised to minimise length and likely disruption during installation. This resulted in the pipework networks shown in Figure 6.9 to 6.14 below. These figures were developed using GIS mapping software and this allowed accurate measurement of pipe lengths for each cluster and scenario. The green box indicates the CHP Energy Centre. The blue lines are heat pipe connections to new developments and the red lines are heat pipes to existing buildings.

Figure 6.13 shows how all four clusters relate to each other, clearly indicating the proximity of the three riverside clusters but the considerable distance to the more outlying LSBU cluster. Investigations showed that there are very few suitable large buildings with significant energy loads in between these two groups. Figure 6.14 shows some early thoughts on a ring between the four clusters but this approach was quickly dropped for the same reason and the excessive capital cost associated with this option.

Figure 6.14 Early ideas for a pipework ring connecting all four clusters It became apparent from the cluster mapping and analysis that the three clusters along the riverside could be connected, providing a more strategic approach. Also, it was apparent that the LSBU cluster is too far away for it to be economic to connect to the other three. A strategic option was therefore developed to amalgamate the three riverside clusters, Blackfriars, South Bank and Waterloo with one large plant room at its centre. The main pipework has been designed/sized to provide a system that can take on additional loads and be extended at either end which is not the case with the individual cluster pipe work. This is shown in Figure 6.15.

Figure 6.15 Strategic pipework connecting three clusters (Estimated pipework cost - 8.9m) 7. Renewable options 7.1 Biomass An option for low carbon heating could comes from the use of biomass. The heat produced from biomass boilers could be used as a top-up to that provided by the CHP. The two typical fuels used in biomass processes are wood chip and wood pellet. Wood chip fuel is cheaper than pellets as chips are essentially unprocessed. However, wood pellets are much more dense, which results in reduced storage requirements and fewer fuel deliveries. For the strategic scenario developed above (excluding trigeneration), the wood pellet quantities shown in Table 8.1 would be needed to meet the total heating demand for the energy network. All biomass wood pellet information has been taken from CIBSE KS10. Fuel cost taken as 180/tonne.

Proportion of heating met Total mass, tonnes Deliveries per year Delivery tonnage Storage requirement, m3 Fuel cost, /year Total CO2 emissions saved, tCO2/year CO2 saving on heat

10% 3,800 12 317 465 680,000 4,800 9.1%
20% 7,600 52 146 215 1,360,000 9,600 18.3%
Table 8.1 Biomass fuel requirement for strategic scenario Fuel deliveries would be a major concern as the location of the development makes regular road transport undesirable. It can be seen in Table 8.1 that there is a large delivery and storage requirement to even meet 5% of the expected heat load of the strategic network. It is clear that there is a trade-off between frequency of delivery and possible storage volume available. As the network is to be situated in central London, fuel storage will be of greatest concern as costs will be high for space. Assuming that 125m3 (5m x 5m x 5m) of storage space can be allocated for wood pellets, if 10% of the heating is to be met, the deliveries would approximately occur every week. As the road transport of biomass is both financially and environmentally costly, other means of delivery should be investigated. As some of the proposed CHP sites are near to the River Thames, deliveries from barge/boat could be feasible. This would result in much lower CO2 emissions from transport and less disruption for the area when deliveries are being conducted. The proximity of the CHP sites in Waterloo means that another alternative delivery method could be by train. To avoid major disruption, it is likely that deliveries would be conducted at night. Recent discussions with the Elephant & Castle MUSCO provider Dalkia indicate they are establishing up a railway supply of biomass and this is worth further investigation. NOx emissions are of concern. A recent report by the AEA (Review of the Potential Impact on Air Quality from Increased Wood Fuelled Biomass Use in London, 2008) outlined the potential problems associated with increased biomass use within London. A biomass system creating 20% of the heat requirement for the energy network could produce as much as seven tonnes of NOx, annually.
33 | P a g e

Figure 8.2 Modelled oxides of nitrogen and nitrogen dioxide in 2003 (AEA, Review of the Potential Impact on Air Quality from Increased Wood Fuelled Biomass Use in London, 2008) Wood pellet supply is a significant issue. Due to environmental considerations, it is recommended that, if possible, wood pellets are sourced from a local supplier (within 50 miles). Another important consideration is the security of supply and, due to the size of the energy network, it may be beneficial to create a supply chain dedicated to the supply of wood chips for the development. 7.2 River water cooling A potential source of low carbon cooling situated adjacent to the SBEG area is the River Thames. Cold river water extracted from the Thames could be used to provide additional cooling for any developments that are linked to the decentralised energy system. Depending on the river extract temperature, the energy required to pump this water from the Thames would likely be much less than a vapour compression systems energy usage and would, therefore, provide a contribution to a proportion of the London Plans 20% renewable obligation for new developments.

It can be seen from figure 8.3 that the river temperature has a large seasonal variation from as low as 6C to over 20C during the summer. There is also a large year-on-year variation which may result in the need for alternative cooling systems during a hot period in the summer. In fact, the major limitation of this system is that during July and August, when cooling demand is at its greatest, the river water temperatures may be too great to provide beneficial cooling. However, there are many applications, such as data centres, that require a year round cooling supply that would receive the greatest benefit. There are two main applications of river water cooling for this project. The first concerns the dissipation of excess heat into the river from the absorption chiller, removing the need for cooling towers. This river water heat rejection system would incorporate an additional heat exchanger that would transfer the excess heat in the absorption chiller to piped river water for the disposal of heat. This could potentially save both money (cooling towers) and energy (fans). However, as there is a limit to the temperature that heat can be rejected into the Thames (~21C), this could not be applied during the peak cooling months when the Thames water temperature is greater than approximately 16C. This would mean that there would have to be an alternative heat rejection system during the majority of June to September, and therefore, a cooling tower would still be required, negating the benefits of reduced capital cost and size of equipment.
Figure 8.4 Schematic of proposed system
35 | P a g e

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group An alternative approach would be to utilise the river water to pre-cool the water in the cooling network as it enters the absorption chiller. After the cooling water has travelled around the cooling circuit, the temperature may have reached as high as 16C and; therefore, where the river water is cooler than this, it can provide additional cooling to the water before entering the chiller. Once again, it is unlikely that the river would be able to provide this surplus cooling during the summer months due to high river temperatures but it would reduce the cooling load on the chiller for the majority of the year. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are outlined in Table 8.1. Advantages Smaller cooling towers/absorption chillers Lower running costs and maintenance of cooling towers/absorption chillers Low CO2 cooling system enabling Filtration maintenance developments to achieve renewable targets more easily Table 8.1 Advantages/ Disadvantages of river water cooling Thermal discharges to the River Thames have the potential to disrupt the ecology of the estuary. Due to this, extensive 3-D modelling will be needed to assess the impact of any proposed system. The three main concerns for river water cooling systems are the deoxegenation due to temperature increases, the potential of entraining fish during abstraction and the possible affect a thermal barrier may have on migrating fish. Due to the migrating fish issue, the maximum temperature water can be discharged at is approximately 21C. It is likely that a river water cooling scheme would require the following licenses from the Environment Agency: Abstraction Discharge consent Land drainage consent Disadvantages Capital cost of additional river water cooling installation Running cost of additional pump
Further analysis would be required to investigate the full feasibility of this technology.

8. Conclusions The South Bank Employers Group (SBEG) and London South Bank University (LSBU) were commissioned by the London Development Agency (LDA) to assess the feasibility of installing Combined Heat & Power (CHP) across the SBEG area. Simple building data were collected on the major buildings in and near to the SBEG area that could play a part in determining the success of CHP across the SBEG area. This was mainly floor area, building type and location. More detailed data have been obtained for a small number of SBEG member buildings although this was limited. About 120 buildings of different types were identified as potential loads for CHP some including around 15 proposed new developments. A master planning software tool was used to form clusters of buildings to allow an analysis of the overall energy demand patterns for each cluster. Potential locations for the CHP plant were then identified and heating/cooling and private wire distribution networks have been developed for each cluster using GIS mapping to estimate the infrastructure costs. A rating system was used to identify the key existing buildings in each cluster based on heating demand, electricity demand and distance from CHP plant. This focussed the analysis on 42 existing buildings and 11 new developments. A CHP model was then used to assess the economic viability and CO2 emissions of each cluster CHP plant. These clusters were: Blackfriars South Bank Waterloo LSBU Each cluster was also modelled for key existing buildings only, then key existing buildings plus new developments. The proposed Waterloo Station redevelopment is so large that this was included in a separate analysis.
37 | P a g e

February 2009 South Bank Employers Group Further analysis included an assessment of a strategic option linking Blackfriars, South Bank and Waterloo clusters to one single CHP Plant. Trigeneration (CCHP) was then added as an option to some of the leading options. Southbank, Blackfriars and Waterloo all appear to be economically viable but LSBU appears to be somewhat marginal. All but two of the options involve both existing and new developments, although Waterloo also appears to be viable without any new building taking place. Three options include trigeneration with associated heat rejection plant and cooling pipework. Based on this first pass analysis, decentralised CHP across the SBEG area appears to merit further investigation. Biomass heating as a stand-by and top-up to the CHP may present an option provinding supply chain issues can be resolved. This is worthy of further investigation. Including this renewable content could make the scheme much more attractive to developers in meeting the 20% requiremnt of the London Mayor.
9. Key risks This study is based on a range of assumptions. There are therefore some key risks associated with the project, as follows: Energy prices could reduce significantly, in particular the spark gap reduces, making CHP less viable Energy pricing regimes could change, making CHP less viable (e.g. availability charges, maximum demand charges, sell back tariffs, DUOS charges etc). Regulation changes that disadvantage CHP (e.g. additional OFGEM certification and licensing, changes to the building regulations or changes to the planning regulations in London). Inadequate gas supply to the selected plant room Difficulty or cost in connecting to the local electricity grid or to electrical supplies in individual buildings Plant room space is either unavailable, expensive, faces planning problems, or has unexpected practical difficulties (e.g. additional building costs, exhaust or ventilations problems, access problems). Pipework costs rise significantly or there are difficulties in achieving reasonable pipework routes due to practicalities or objections from the statutory authorities SBEG members may not buy-in to the project, perhaps due to poor pricing structures, poor contractual arrangements or building owners simply fail to see the benefits of the scheme.

10. Recommendations & next steps As outlined in this report, the first phase of potential project evaluation -this Initial Feasibility Study- has looked at and indentified the following broad areas of information from key stakeholders across the South Bank area: Identification of potential consumers Estimated likely energy consumption Identified probable scale Suggested possible plant locations
Having undertaken this review the outline figures indentified based on a heat led network suggest that there is a good case for further work to move forward with the development of the project by undertaking a more detailed evaluation of the technical and economical considerations. In order to undertake this next phase we believe that there should be a phased approach adopted and that the South Bank and Waterloo clusters which are predominately based on existing buildings are considered the most appropriate clusters for this further detailed evaluation at this stage. Buildings to be considered in the next phase of work 1. South Bank Centre 2. National Theatre 3. Kings College 4. Shell 5. ITV 6. IBM 7. BFI 8. County Hall 9. CSCB Doon Street (Proposed development) 10. Park Plazas (on site) 11. P&O (Proposed development) 12. St Thomas' Hospital (existing CHP)
39 | P a g e

It is proposed to undertake the further evaluations of the technical and economical considerations in partnership with the above stakeholders in order to fully investigate and identify the following areas of project development: Phase 2 - Technical & Economic Development Work Identify and work with key parties to develop most viable cluster Use actual energy consumption and cost information Take account of existing building services and plant Determine most viable locations for plant and network routes and investigate any permissions/legal issues associated with the proposals. Following successful completion of the phase 2 evaluation further decisions will then need to be taken on how the project is to continue toward ultimate delivery. These decisions will be completely dependent on the outcomes of phase 2 but will broadly need to address the following areas in terms of: Phase 3 - Commercialisation Identify key parties & delivery options Option 1 Fully outsourced DBFO with several consumers & common agreement Option 2 Social enterprise with sub-contracts for DBFO (Design, Build, Fund and Operate) Develop heads of terms
Phase 4 - Procurement

Heat Pipe Diameter Calculation: The following relation has been used for the calculation of the heat pipe's diameters. Q = mCp T, Where, Q = Peak heat load (kW) m= mass flow rate = Area x Velocity = AV = (d / 4) x V Cp= Specific heat of water = 4.187 T = Temperature difference d = Heat pipe diameter Heat pipe's calculation has been carried out by considering the peak heat loads of individual buildings. The peak heat loads of each individual building was taken from the heat profiles developed in the model. In and Out temperatures were taken as 90/60 C. So, T = 90 60C = 30C Velocity = V = 3m/s (Reference CIBSE Guide C, Table 4.4) Pressure losses / meters have been considered by using CIBSE Guide tables. And diameters have been selected according to that.

Heat Pipe Cost The following linear equation has been used for the heat pipe cost calculation based on the LSBU CHP feasibility study by BP, 2006. An inflation rate 0f 20% has been considered additional to the BP's costs. This also includes the labour cost, trench cost etc. Pipe Cost () / m length = (5*pipe_diameter+500) Cooling Pipe Diameter Calculation Same equations have been used for the calculation of cooling pipe's diameter. T = 16 6C = 10C Velocity = V = 3m/s (Reference CIBSE Guide C, Table 4.4) Q = mCp T, m. = AV = Area x Velocity = d / 4 x V Pressure losses / meters have been considered by using CIBSE Guide C tables. And diameters have been selected according to that. Cooling Pipe Cost It has been assumed as the half of the heating pipe cost. Pipe Cost () / m length = Heat Pipe Cost /2

Energy Prices According to BERR Energy Trends March 2008 (URN 08/79a ISSN number: 0308-1222), the aforementioned building is classified as follows:
Fuel Electricity Gas
Size Moderately Large Medium
Price (incl. CCL) 6.57p/kWh 1.89p/kWh
Date 4th Qtr 2007 4th Qtr 2007
Therefore, to provide incentives for possible future consumers a 10% reduction in the electricity price is assumed. Electricity Community Sale Price = 5.91p/kWh To calculate the community heat price, the typical gas price of 1.89p/kWh is used with an assumed existing boiler efficiency of 80% giving an initial price of 2.36p/kWh. However, an additional cost for boiler maintenance of 0.14p/kWh is added assuming that there is a 12,500 annual maintenance charge for the 9GWh annual heat demand. Heat Community Sale Price = 2.50p/kWh
From Defras Analysis of UK Potential for CHP Oct 07, the predicted large-scale CHP export price will be approximately 2.56p/kWh in the near future (2010).
Electricity Export Price = 2.56p/kWh
CHP gas price is less than the gas price for a medium size consumer (1.89p/kWh) due to the larger supply and Climate Change Levy exemption.
CHP Gas Price = 1.512p/kWh
It has been assumed that any electricity over and above the output of the CHP unit will simply pass through the system with the bulk purchase price set the same as the sale price. i.e. no profit is made through the bulk purchase and re-sale of electricity. This ensures that the model identifies the savings from the CHP and that any possible bulk purchase and re-sale profits would simply enhance the economics of each scenario. Bulk purchase profits are very difficult to estimate and can often mask the viability of the CHP plant.

Administration costs have been calculated using the assumption that a typical annual electricity supply is 20,000MWh/year and that the annual running costs of the administration centre would be 50,000. Therefore:
Administration cost = 0.25p/kWh
An additional Duos charge would be payable on electricity that was to be distributed to customers through the existing local energy networks. This comprises of three parts: Metered tariffs Availability charge Power factor
Therefore, assuming that all of the buildings would be half-hourly metered and accepting a highvoltage supply (greater than 1kV).
Metered Tariff
Time Night Winter Evening Winter Day Summer Day/Evening TOTAL
Duos Charge (p/kWh) 0.021 1.2 0.36 0.235 0.3
Proportion 10% 10% 55% 25% 100%
Availability Charge An availability charge for each month for each kVA of available capacity: (1,300 kVA x 102.6p/kVA)/6,000,000 = 0.22p
Power Factor Assumed power factor minimum of 0.8, a conservative estimate would be a 1.08 power factor. This equates to 8% of the electricity charge of 0.59p/kWh. 5.91p/kWh x 0.08 = 0.48p/kWh
13 | P a g e
Therefore, Duos charge = 0.3p/kWh + 0.22p/kWh + 0.48p/kWh = 1.00p/kWh Project Information Comments Project Life Discount Rate Inflation 25 years 10% 3% New CHP engine at 13 years -
Environmental Financial Information Climate Change Levy - Electricity Climate Change Levy - Gas Carbon dioxide value 0.456p/kWh 0.159p/kWh 0/ton
Capital Costs The capital costs of some sections of the network were calculated as a % of the CHP unit cost. The costs were as follows:
% of CHP unit cost DH customer connections Project management & engineering Contingency and other soft costs 25% 36% 36%
Energy Centre Costs Every CHP unit has an associated energy centre cost. The cost consists of a fixed and variable element to model the economies of scale for the energy centre.
Energy centre cost = (70 x CHP unit size in kW) + 300,000
District heating, private wire and cooling network costs Each scenario had an individual piping network mapped. The sizes of the pipes were calculated and then the following cost calculation was used:
Hot water pipe cost = (5 x hot water pipe diameter in mm) + 500 14 | P a g e
Private wire costs are assumed to be 200/m which includes all building connection associated costs. The cost of installation of a cooling network was assumed to be 50% of the hot water pipe cost.
Absorption Chiller Costs It was assumed that the price for absorption cooling was 160/kW cooling output.
License Costs From: Comparative Costs of Operating On-Site/Private Wire Distributed Energy Systems on a Licensed rather than Licence Exempt Basis - A report for the London Climate Change Agency
Establishment cost of a Licensed supplier: 71,626 - 151,226 (p5)
Therefore, the mean will be taken at: 110,000 (rounded from 111,426)
