Advanced thermal response tests: A review
Abstract In this study, the historical and technical development and the current status of distributed (DTRT) and enhanced (ETRT) thermal response tests (TRT) are reviewed. The different test setups of these advanced TRT are critically assessed and future research questions are outlined.

Influence of Different Heat Loads and Durations on the Field Thermal Response Test [PDF]
Geothermal energy exhibits considerable development potential in space heating. Shallow geothermal energy stored in the soil in the form of low-grade energy is mainly extracted via the ground source heat pump (GSHP) system.

Group thermal response testing for energy piles [PDF]
ABSTRACT Thermal response testing is an in situ technique for characterising the thermal conductivity of the ground around a borehole heat exchanger. The test has seen renewed interest in recent years as an increasing number of ground heat exchangers are being constructed to provide renewable heating and cooling energy as part of ...

Distributed Thermal Response Tests Using a Heating Cable and Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing [PDF]
Thermal response tests are used to assess the subsurface thermal conductivity to design ground-coupled heat pump systems. Conventional tests are cumbersome and require a source of high power to heat water circulating in a pilot ground heat exchanger.

A Novel Approach to the Analysis of Thermal Response Test (TRT) with Interrupted Power Input [PDF]
The quality of measuring datasets of the thermal response test (TRT) significantly influences the interpretation of borehole thermal parameters (BTP). A thermal response test with an unstable power input may induce an unacceptable error in the estimation
