6 FAQs about [Shallow geothermal energy storage system]
What is shallow geothermal energy?
1. Introduction Shallow geothermal energy is a promising low-carbon source to meet heating and cooling demands of buildings. The most commonly used type of shallow geothermal system in many European countries, including Switzerland, are vertical ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) [ 1 ].
Where is shallow geothermal energy stored?
Shallow geothermal energy is stored in the Earth's uppermost layers, up to a few hundred meters deep, and can be extracted using a geothermal heat exchanger or ground source heat pump (GSHP). The heat exchanger paced 1 to 2 m below the surface from the shallow geothermal energy.
Is a shallow geothermal system a seasonal energy storage system?
However, a shallow geothermal system is not designated for seasonal energy storage. The system uses the steady earth temperature closer to the surface for daily cooling and heating . Therefore, this system's collector area is relatively equivalent to the building's cooling or heating load.
Are shallow geothermal energy systems sustainable?
Analytical solutions have also been proposed (e.g. Zhang et al. 2013). Well-designed shallow geothermal energy systems represent a highly effective, sustainable, and economic technology for space heating and cooling, as well as for domestic hot water (but there are competitive alternatives to the latter).
Are geothermal systems a viable alternative to conventional space heating and cooling?
One alternative to conventional space heating and cooling based on fossil fuels and cooling machines, respectively, are geothermal applications using the shallow subsurface and groundwater as a renewable source of thermal energy, such as groundwater heat pump (GWHP) systems.
How do shallow geothermal systems heat buildings?
There are two primary techniques used for shallow geothermal systems to heat buildings, namely, the closed-loop and open-loop systems. In the first type, the heat carrier fluid is forcefully circulated through a buried or submerged ground heat exchanger. This type is the most prevalent shallow geothermal system in Europe.
