Energy from surface water (EOW) | Cold — watercourses and urination (Dataset)

The thermal energy from surface water from watercourses and puddles (EOW) can be used in combination with Heat and Cold Storage Systems (WKO) for the sustainable cooling of buildings. For this purpose, a pump installation with a heat exchanger will be placed in the vicinity of the customer, so cold is extracted from the water in winter with a small temperature difference (+ 3 °C). This cold (5-9 °C) is stored in the groundwater of the WKO with which it becomes available in the summer and can be used for cooling. The dataset describes the economically recoverable potential of thermal energy from surface water compared to the current cold demand corrected for the soil storage capacity for WKO expressed in suitability classes (moderately suitable, suitable, very suitable, excellently suitable) of a location within a radius of 100 meters of watercourses and urination.
