Implementing the FED project in Gothenburg: Get an update on the activities carried out in the second UIA Expert journal

FED Journal 2
UIA Expert Zeno Winkels has been collecting the knowledge stemming from the implementation of the innovative solution proposed by the City of Gothenburg for this 2nd project journal.
The project aims to develop, demonstrate and replicate a novel district level energy system, integrating electric power, as well as heating and cooling.
This 2nd Journal outlines the project’s progress during the last semester and reflects upon the main challenges faced and analyse how they have been dealt with.
This Journal focuses on how project partners plan to operate the energy systems 100% fossil free by using various system solutions in storage, generation, and distribution.
