Numerical study on a multifracture enhanced geothermal system considering matrix permeability enhancement induced by thermal unloading

Renewable Energy, 2022
We explore an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) reservoir with horizontal wells connecting multiple hydraulic fractures. In particular we follow the implications of complex thermal – hydraulic – mechanical on the thermal unloading of rock matrix on the ...

Comparative investigation on the heat extraction performance of an enhanced geothermal system with N2O, CO2 and H2O as working fluids

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2021
The properties of geothermal working fluids have great influence on the heat extraction performance of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS). In addition to H2O, N2O and CO2 have also been proposed as geothermal working fluids.

Performance evaluation of the Habanero enhanced geothermal system, Australia: Optimization based on tracer and induced micro-seismicity data

Renewable Energy, 2022
The understanding of hydraulic heterogeneity of the reservoir is the basis for Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) optimization. This, however, is challenging, as there are limited well tests available for reservoir characterization.

Challenges for Numerical Modeling of Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Groundwater, 2010
A recent guest editorial by Wood (2009) pointed out the potential of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) as a future source of “green” energy and suggested that EGS offers research opportunities for hydrogeologists seeking to become involved in the world’s energy future.

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS): A review

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016
Abstract Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source that can be found in abundance on our planet. Only a small fraction of it is currently converted to electrical power, though in recent years installed geothermal capacity has increased considerably all over the world.
