Development of an autonomous and tailor-made heating network to heat the Suchet district of the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
The biomass boiler installed in the basement of a building on Boulevard Suchet is in operation. 4 residential buildings and a nursery are now heated thanks to a tailor-made installation of the City's heating network: an independent hot water loop, supplied with 50% renewable energy produced locally.
The construction and operation of the boiler, consisting of 6 boilers of 135 KW, has been entrusted by CPCU to Agronergy, a specialist in renewable heat solutions for compact installations of small and medium power.
Wood pellets used as fuel are delivered once a week via a duct blowing from the Suchet boulevard into the old fuel room of the building. Once the combustion is complete, their ashes are reused as fertilizer by nearby Auteuil greenhouses.
The boiler furnishes half of the energy of the network, while a gas boiler of 2MW, also installed in the basement of a building of the boulevard, provides the complement. The two fully automated boilers are remotely controlled synchronously with a priority for biomass heat production.
Powered by these 2 boiler rooms totally invisible from the outside, a loop of underground hot water 300 meters long provides heat to the nursery of the neighborhood and 500 homes spread over 4 residential buildings including 2 private homes of the boulevard Suchet which host the boiler rooms. The other 2 buildings are a Paris Habitat rental property and a newly built private condominium near the former Auteuil train station.

Biomass boiler
The autonomous heat network solution is innovative in many ways.
On the one hand, because of the very limited space available to carry out this project, since it was to reuse the space previously occupied by a fuel boiler. The 810KW of biomass boilers were therefore installed in 40m2 and a substation dedicated to the building was also installed in 40m2. A storage silo of 50 m3 replaces the old fuel tank.
The boiler is also composed of 6 boilers DKWB, 135KW, more cascading management of these boilers ensures optimal performance regardless of the power requirements of the inhabitants (summer / winter).
The boilers are additionally equipped with WIT supervision systems, which allows access to all the parameters of the boiler, remotely and act accordingly on the main systems.
