Case Study: How we Find Ground Temperature Can Lead to Excess Costs in Geo-Exchange

August 11, 2023August 11, 2023 umnyeng

We performed these four case studies to highlight the differences between methods to find ground temperature – in accuracy, ease of use, and costs. Then we use these methods in a typical design calculation for a direct-use geothermal (geo-exchange) system to calculate the economic impacts of ground temperature errors on our case studies. … Continue readingCase Study: How we Find Ground Temperature Can Lead to Excess Costs in Geo-Exchange

What Impact Does 1°C of Ground Temperature Change Have on a Geothermal (Geo-exchange) System?

June 21, 2022June 27, 2022 umnyeng

If the ground temperature around a geothermal system changes or is different in reality than what it was designed for, how much will be lost in performance and cost? Is a mere 1°C ground temperature change/error significant, or can it be ignored? … Continue readingWhat Impact Does 1°C of Ground Temperature Change Have on a Geothermal (Geo-exchange) System?
