Geothermal energy is generated by extracting heat from the Earth using water as a medium, which can be in liquid or steam form. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, significant progress was made in harnessing geothermal resources for power production and residential heating. Geothermal ...
Recently, groundwater geothermal energy (GGE) is harnessed by deploying closed- and open-loop heat systems. In open-loop geothermal heat pump systems (OLGHPS), groundwater is reinjected into aquifer after harnessing GGE. Nevertheless, OLGHPS face noxious clogging issue because of elusive chemistry...
Geothermal Systems (EGS) that do not have enough permeability to be exploited with the conventional technology. Positive results have been obtained in the FORGE project, but their commercial utilization is still ahead (Jones et al.2024). Geothermal energy is a commercially proven and renewable energ...
Such condensing system causes a limited energy consumption but most importantly it is characterized by evaporation losses. As such the reservoir balance is negative—not all the fluid extracted from the system is then reinjected. Furthermore, the management of the cooling water cycle can be a ...
1a). Stations distant from geothermal harnessed areas exhibit a \(\triangle v/v\) trend near zero, where subsidence is practically absent. Both land subsidence and seismic velocity decay are byproducts resulting from the harnessing of geothermal energy in the Hengill region. Consequently, both ...
Geothermal energyNatural supercritical systemsTechnological innovationThe Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is a longterm research and development project aimed to improve the efficiency and economics of geothermal power generation by harnessing deep natural supercritical hydrous fluids obtained at drillable...
(Soltani et al.2019). The energy demand and the mitigation of environmental impacts are expected to be solved by using sustainable renewable energy sources (Adekoya et al.2021). In this context, geothermal energy is a clean and renewable energy source that can be sustainable exploited for ...
At the same time, the energy recovery rate after extraction of aquifer thermal energy storage temperature is obtained. However, the formation temperature within the geothermal system continues to expand over time even after thermal shock cessation. Most of the heat recovery research focuses on the ...
Supercritical geothermal systems are very high-temperature geothermal systems that are located at depths near or below the brittle–ductile transition zone in the crust where the reservoir fluid is assumed to be in the supercritical state, that is for pu
2013, Renewable Energy Citation Excerpt : Most commonly, it is used in electric power generation [1]. Dipippo [2–8] investigated several types of geothermal power plants and he pointed out that the binary-type energy conversion systems with thermal efficiencies in the range of 8%–12% were...
