Geophysical Methods for Monitoring Temperature Changes in Shallow Low Enthalpy Geothermal Systems
Low enthalpy geothermal systems exploited with ground source heat pumps or groundwater heat pumps present many advantages within the context of sustainable energy use. Designing, monitoring and controlling such systems requires the measurement of spatially distributed temperature fields and the knowledge of the parameters governing groundwater flow (permeability and specific storage) and heat t...
متن کاملElectricity Production by Geothermal Hybrid – Plants in Low-enthalpy Areas
In Central Europe, the utilization of low enthalpy reservoirs for electricity production has not yet fully developed. Reliable technological experience will only be obtained from future projects. Currently, the utilization is still at an experimental stage and the failure of only a single project could easily have dramatic consequences for the continuation of other projects due to limited publi...
متن کاملStreet-heat: Controlling road temperature via low enthalpy geothermal energy
In this paper, the authors present an idea to exploit low enthalpy geothermal energy in order to reduce street temperature fluctuations throughout the year and avoid ice formation during the winter season. The key aspect of the proposed system is that it is based on the exploitation of geothermal temperature gradients through materials with high thermal conductivity inserted into the ground, su...
متن کاملDown-Hole Heat Exchangers: Modelling of a Low-Enthalpy Geothermal System for District Heating
In order to face the growing energy demands, renewable energy sources can provide an alternative to fossil fuels. Thus, low-enthalpy geothermal plants may play a fundamental role in those areas— such as the Province of Viterbo—where shallow groundwater basins occur and conventional geothermal plants cannot be developed. Thismay lead to being fuelled by locally available sources. The aim of the ...
متن کاملDoped bentonitic grouts for implementing performances of low-enthalpy geothermal systems
Background Energy is a fundamental condition for the social growth of the community, being an essential ingredient for almost all human activities and services. During the past decade, the energy policy has been working towards more environmental-friendly renewable power plants in order to achieve maximum advantages and/or fewer impacts from the exploitation of fossil-fuel resources (Kalaiselva...
