Solör Bioenergi Fjärrvärme AB in Vilhelmina, Sweden (250 kW)
Background
Since 2014, Solör Bioenergi Fjärrvärme AB has owned the district heating plant in Vilhelmina, where a wood chip-fired hot water boiler produces district heating for the municipality, private homes, rental properties, and industries. To become more self-sufficient in electricity while reducing electricity and peak power demand in the local grid, Solör Bioenergi Fjärrvärme AB decided to invest in an ORC turbine.
Our solution
Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum electrical capacity of 250 kW. The ORC system enables electricity production from the hot water of the heating boiler. In total, the system is expected to produce 830 MWh annually, corresponding to emission reductions of 700 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents when replacing European marginal electricity. Solör Bioenergi Fjärrvärme AB has signed a service agreement with Againity to ensure long lifetime and minimal maintenance.
