Greenwich Peninsular Energy Centre
Computational Fluid Dynamic Study
Greenwich Peninsula ESCO Ltd, in partnership with Hemiko, has worked with the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) over to decarbonise the Greenwich Peninsula heat network.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to mitigate negative impacts such as visible cold plumage, pedestrian cold comfort, and sheltering of local buildings, ensuring proper dispersion into the atmosphere.
The ASHPs will offset the current gas-fired boilers and the combined heat and power (CHP) engine, significantly reducing gas combustion. Full adoption by existing connections is projected to offset over 90,000 tonnes of CO2 over 15 years, with potential for further reductions.
The Greenwich Peninsular development plan was included with the study providing a solution to the many multi-storey buildings that will shelter the energy centre in the future.
This project will provide multiple benefits to the local community, including low-carbon heat, improved air quality, and accelerated decarbonisation. It offers a cost-effective decarbonisation option for nearby buildings, encourages further investment, contributes to the proposed borough-wide heat network, enhancing local social value as committed in the GHNF application.
