How can we improve the efficiency of exploitation of geothermal energy?

Author(s) : TÓTHOVÁ V., TAKÁCS J.

Summary

Nowadays, no energy source should exist without regulation to ensure its efficient use. The regulation can be quantitative, qualitative or combined. This article compares the utilization of a geothermal well in two situations. The first situation is when no regulation is used on the geothermal well head. The second situation is when the exploitation of geothermal water is regulated on the geothermal well head, i.e. quantitative regulation is considered. The regulation on the geothermal well head grants savings on the geothermal well because only as much geothermal water is consumed as needed. Therefore, the lifetime of the geothermal well is elongated. In this case of regulation, the efficiency of geothermal water utilization is increased and it is nearly constant for all winter months.
