Geothermal heat is an energy source that is local, reliable, resilient, environmentally-
friendly, and sustainable. This natural energy is produced from the heat within the earth, and …

Shallow geothermal systems such as open and closed geothermal heat pump (GHP)
systems are considered to be an efficient and renewable energy technology for cooling and …

This work presents an optimisation based approach for the integrated plan and evaluation of
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) systems. The mathematical model takes into account …

The integration of distributed generation units and microgrids in the current grid
infrastructure requires an efficient and cost effective local energy system design. A mixed …

The heating degree-day method was used to determine the natural gas consumption by
residential heating in Turkey. Cities located nearby the existing, under construction, and …

Global energy demand is increasing, driven by population rise, technological development,
and a desire for a better lifestyle. However, because environmental issues such as fossil-fuel …

Ground source heat pump technology (GSHP) is an alternative solution for conventional
heating and cooling systems. Due to its wide range of applications, the installed capacity of …

Actual operation energy consumption of the high energy efficiency buildings built and
operated in China and US has been quite different than expected. This paper compares …

The fact, that some areas need district heating through heat pumps and at the same time
recover residual heat from geothermal water, presents a new working condition: feed water …

The subject of the paper is how to solve the problem of heating in some areas and making
the best of geothermal waste water through heat pump. Now the biggest barrier is to find …
