Svalin co-housing complex
Overview
Project Summary
Svalin is a community with 20 households in Trekroner, Roskilde (Denmark). Houses and shared infrastructure were designed to accommodate solar panels, geothermic heat pump and electric vehicles. The community, as a whole, is energy positive, meaning that it produces more renewable energy than it consumes, on a yearly basis. As of now, each household consumes its electricity generation while transferring the electricity surplus to the electric grid under current Danish regulatory framework. However, they intend to collectively consume 100% renewable and local by sharing their renewable energy generation, thus avoiding the traditional intermediary parties. This project is based on the concept of the consumer-centric electricity markets in various forms (e.g. community-based, peer-to-peer) with the aim to demonstrate the flexibility of a community sharing electric energy. The project is serving as a living laboratory for the Technical University of Denmark's (DTU) research project Energy Collective.
