Germany defined an ambitious social and economic plan in order to cut 80 % of CO2 emissions by 2050. In this context, geothermal energy can play a key-role, since the high capacity factor and the possible heat and power configuration. Several power plants and district heating systems are currently running in Germany on geothermal sources.
In this work, an extended techno-economic analysis of...
In Germany, heating accounts for approximately two thirds of the end energy consumption in private households. It is estimated that by about 2060 the amount of energy used worldwide in cooling will overtake that used in heating. Therefore, there is a need to design efficient energy systems to supply heating and cooling loads simultaneously.
A cooling cycle cools a heat source by dissipating...
Geothermal power is one of the renewable energies which is extensively used in Italy, especially in Tuscan region, and which is becoming very discussed all around Europe. Geothermal energy exploits the geological heat sources, which are naturally present and it is considered as a renewable energy when the short time period is taken into account. However, the continuous exploitation of the...
