A 3 Capacity building: workshop on shallow geothermal activities, optimisation and best use of resources Bergen June 6

The hybrid workshop was arranged in Bergen June 6, 2024. 51 online and 14 in person participanted at the workshop.

Agenda:

a) Analytic and numerical tools for ground source energy assessments

  • Shallow geothermal potential mapping at PGI-NRI. Tools and workflows for effective thermal conductivity estimation (NumPY, ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing - Model Builder) – Grzegorz Ryżyński and Mateusz Żeruń, PGI-NRI
  • Simulations tools – Karoline Kvalsvik, NORCE, NTNU.

b) Integrated mapping of energy requirements and geologic knowledge into optimal tailored system design.

c) Best practices of distributed temperature sensing for monitoring.

  • Experience with DTS for monitoring of geothermal wells and BHEs” – Teppo Arola, GTK Geological Survey of Finland.
  • Distributed temperature sensing in monitoring of borehole thermal energy storage at Aalto University Metrocomplex site” – Sami Vallin, GTK Geological Survey of Finland.
  • DTS examples” – Karoline Kvalsvik
