A global review of enhanced geothermal system (EGS)

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018
Abstract The goal of this study is to review 18 significant enhanced geothermal system (EGS) sites and technologies that have been applied in the European Union, Japan, South Korea, Australia and the USA. The results of earlier cases indicate that the site characteristics, such as a transtensional type setting, are a key factor of successful EGS ...

Characterisation of the Basel 1 enhanced geothermal system

Geothermics, 2008
Abstract This paper describes the steps that have been undertaken to create an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) at the Deep Heat Mining Project in Basel, Switzerland. Preliminary results from drilling, logging, hydraulic testing and stimulating the Basel 1 well are summarized.

Enhanced Geothermal Systems

2013
DOE, through the Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, requested this study, identifying a focus on: i) assessment of technologies and approaches for subsurface imaging and characterization so as to be able to validate EGS opportunities, and ii) assessment of approaches toward creating sites ...

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.

Adaptive Hierarchical Fracture Model for Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Multiscale Modeling & Simulation, 2016
Summary: In enhanced geothermal systems, cold working fluid (usually water) is injected into a fractured reservoir to enhance the efficiency of the power plant by increasing the conductivity of existing fractures and by creating new ones. For the modeling of single phase flow and transport in such dynamically changing fractured reservoirs, a new ...

Beyond Hydrocarbon Extraction: Enhanced Geothermal Systems

2016
There are many forms of energy that exist subsurface. Mining typically extracts minerals that are energy rich and processes them to produce electricity. The oil and gas industry extracts hydrocarbons with high energy content that are suitable for energy production.
