GIS-based potential assessment and scenario analysis for integrating geothermal heat pumps technologies in urban energy systems

Kurzfassung

Objective: - Develop a model of heat supply with shallow geothermal heat pumps, using a GIS and open source data to analyse different integration scenarios and identify their benefits for cities Research Questions: - What type of shallow geothermal energy system is most suitable for city implementation? -Using open source data, how to evaluate the potential of geothermal energy energy in urban areas? -To what extent can geothermal heat pumps contribute to high self-sufficiency in districts and cities? -Can integrating geothermal heat pump technologies in UES reduce the pressure on the distribution grids compared to aerothermal heat pumps? -What restrictions could we find in deploying different geothermal technologies?
