In the Flandernhöhe residential quarter in Esslingen, the energy supply for the 700 residential units to date and a further 1150 in the future will be controlled in the newly expanded energy center by a superimposed system from AVAT.
In order to ensure the heat supply in the quarter for about 3300 inhabitants, the existing energy center of Stadtwerke Esslingen in Ina-Rothschild-Weg was expanded. With an output of 1.3 MWth and just under 1 MWel, a new combined heat and power plant (CHP) generates heat and electricity there with immediate effect. Two buffer storage tanks with a total volume of 220 m3 enable the surplus heat generated to be stored. In times of increased utilization, two peak-load boilers with a total output of 3.8 MWth provide additional heat.
