During this phase, we will create a comprehensive project plan, which includes budgeting, a detailed Gantt chart, obtaining all necessary permissions and permits, conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), forecasting resource and demand requirements, conducting a site survey, performing a techno-economic analysis, developing a Health and Safety (H&S) strategy and plan. Additionally, we will continue to conduct environmental impact studies throughout the testing period.
This phase involves creating detailed designs, functional specifications, and technical specifications for innovative technologies. It also includes the procurement of the overarching control system and all project equipment, including components, as well as preparing the site for hydrogen (H2) production and storage.
During this phase, we will deliver all technologies and equipment that require innovation and construction. This includes the development of software for the Control System. We will also connect the renewable energy power cabling. The Test Team will provide the Test strategy and plans with comprehensive Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), covering Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and full demonstration trials. Before transporting to the H2HEAT location, each technology partner’s facility must successfully pass the FAT. We will prepare and equip the H2 facility, including the electrolyser and storage. All equipment will be delivered to the appropriate location, either the PLOCAN H2 site facility or the hospital consumer, and will be installed accordingly.
In this phase, we will fully commission, demonstrate, and test the entire supply chain, starting from converting renewable energy (RE) to producing hydrogen, and finally generating heating at the hospital. The demonstration will involve thorough monitoring and optimization cycles.
This work package (WP) runs concurrently with the phases mentioned above and collaborates closely with WP7 Dissemination & Communication. It will set up an Exploitation Working Group and deliver a comprehensive Exploitation Plan.
This work package will oversee all various activities and handle potential risks. It will form an Advisory Board and make the best use of the expertise these valuable individuals bring. Additionally, this work package will address intellectual property (IP) and knowledge management strategies as well as project contracting.
This work package will run concurrently with the project and will be responsible for both the initial and ongoing socio-economic analysis. To ensure that H2HEAT is embraced by society, this work package will involve engaging with Quadruple Helix (QH), and community stakeholders, including local authorities, industry, research institutions, and civil society. H2HEAT will identify local community champions to serve as representatives.
Work Package 1
WP1: Planning and preparation phase – this covers overall detailed project plan preparation including budget and detailed Gantt, all required consenting and permitting, EIA, resource and demand forecasting, site survey, techno-economic analysis, H&S strategy and plan. Ongoing environmental impact studies will be completed during test period.
Work Package 2
WP2: Definition and acquisition phase – this WP includes all detailed designs with functional and technical specifications for technologies requiring innovation the overarching control system procurement. This WP also covers the procurement of the project equipment including components and preparation of the H2 production/storage site.
Work Package 3
WP3: Build and installation phase – All technologies and equipment that require innovation and construction will be delivered in this WP. This includes software development relating to the Control System. The RE power cabling will be connected. The Test Team will deliver the Test strategy and plans with comprehensive KPIs, covering FAT, SAT and full demo trials. FAT must be passed at each technology partner facility prior to transport to the H2HEAT location. The H2 facility including electrolyser and storage will be prepared and kitted out. All equipment will be delivered to the PLOCAN H2 site facility or hospital consumer as appropriate and installed.
