Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS): A review

open access: yesRenewable 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.

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 ...

Efficient workflow for simulation of multifractured enhanced geothermal systems (EGS)

Renewable Energy, 2019
Abstract The increasing demand for clean energy with minimum environmental impact motivates development of geothermal energy. Simulating a geothermal reservoir is complex and time consuming, mainly because of the systems spatial and temporal non-isothermal nature and the enormous size of the domain/reservoir. Simulations become even more complex when

Evaluation of geothermal energy extraction in Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) with multiple fracturing horizontal wells (MFHW)

Renewable Energy, 2020
Abstract The deep geothermal energy produced from Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) has a great development prospect because of enormous potential and environmental friendliness. EGS process involves a complex thermal-hydraulic process, and fractures in EGS are main channels for fluid flow and heat transfer, the understanding of which is crucial to ...

Deep Learning Assisted Optimization Workflow for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)

open access: yes, 2023
The energy retrieval process in an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) depends on fracture networks to facilitate fluid movement, thereby enabling the extraction of heat from adjacent rocks matrix. Nonetheless, due to the inherent heterogeneity and intricate multi-physics characteristics of these systems, high-fidelity physics-based forward simulations ...

Characterization of a Fracture-Controlled Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) in the Trans-Mexican-Volcanic-Belt (TMVB): Predictive Mechanical Model for Fracture Stimulation in an Enhanced Geothermal System Context (EGS)

open access: yes, 2020
In 2020, as the world Energy demand keeps on rising (International Energy Agency (IEA), 2019), and with the global climate warming a reality (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2020), reducing our societal impact on Earth is of utmost importance. Energy and Climate have always been intrinsically related.

Experimental Evaluation of Flow Heterogeneity in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)

57th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium, 2023
ABSTRACT Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are unconventional reservoirs with significant stored thermal energy and low hydraulic connectivity e.g., Hot Dry Rocks. To take advantage of these resources as a sustainable option, it is necessary to create and/or enhance existing fractures to achieve economic production ...
