This study demonstrates the high efficiency of the so-called stack-ordering technique for optimizing a groundwater management problem under uncertain conditions. The uncertainty is expressed by multiple equally probable model representations, such as realizations of hydraulic conductivity. During optimization of a well-layout problem for contaminant control, a ranking mechanism is applied that extracts those realizations that appear most critical for the optimization problem. It is shown that this procedure works well for evolutionary optimization algorithms, which are to some extent robust against noisy objective functions. More precisely, differential evolution (DE) and the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) are applied. Stack ordering is comprehensively investigated for a plume management problem at a hypothetical template site based on parameter values measured at and on a geostatistical model developed for the Lauswiesen study site near Tubingen, Germany. The straightforward procedure yields computational savings above 90% in comparison to always evaluating the full set of realizations. This is confirmed by cross testing with four additional validation cases. The results show that both evolutionary algorithms obtain highly reliable near-optimal solutions. DE appears to be the better choice for cases with significant noise caused by small stack sizes. On the other hand, there seems to be a problem-specific threshold for the evaluation stack size above which the CMA-ES achieves solutions with both better fitness and higher reliability.

Efficiency of single-well geothermal systems with multi-lateral drills

Selcuk Erol, Virginie Harcouet-Menou, Ben Laenen, Peter Bayer

Summary: The major challenges of deep geothermal systems include drilling costs, induced seismicity, scaling and corrosion, emissions, and assessment of the inherent uncertainty associated with the reservoir properties. This study focuses on investigating the concept of using a single drill hole for thermal energy provision in detail, particularly in reservoirs with low natural permeability.

Advanced workflow for multi-well tracer test analysis in a geothermal reservoir

Selcuk Erol, Peter Bayer, Taylan Akin, Serhat Akin

Summary: The interpretation of tracer tests in geothermal reservoirs is often carried out using simplified analytical solutions or complex numerical models. This study presents an advanced workflow that combines a 3D analytical model with Monte-Carlo simulations and a 3D numerical model to evaluate tracer test data in large-scale reservoirs. The results demonstrate the robustness of the workflow in estimating effective parameters in complex reservoir systems with anisotropic flow paths.

Sources, intensities, and implications of subsurface warming in times of climate change

Maximilian Noethen, Hannes Hemmerle, Peter Bayer

Summary: Anthropogenic warming of the atmosphere is a pressing challenge in the 21st century, but knowledge on subsurface warming is lacking. This review proposes a classification based on heat source geometry, scale, process, and intention of heat release. It explores the intensities of subsurface warming, heat flux density, and implications for processes and ecosystems, as well as the potential of recycling waste heat with geothermal installations.

Pumping Optimization Under Uncertainty in an Island Freshwater Lens Using a Sharp-Interface Seawater Intrusion Model

Cecile Coulon, Jean-Michel Lemieux, Alexandre Pryet, Peter Bayer, Nathan L. Young, John Molson

Summary: This study presents a methodology for pumping optimization under uncertainty for island freshwater lenses using a sharp-interface model and demonstrates its application in a real case. Pumping optimization was conducted considering parameter and observation uncertainty, with a focus on avoiding well salinization due to upconing.

Shallow subsurface heat recycling is a sustainable global space heating alternative

Susanne A. Benz, Kathrin Menberg, Peter Bayer, Barret L. Kurylyk

Summary: Despite the global interest in green energy alternatives, little attention has been paid to the feasibility of recycling the ground heat accumulated due to urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. This study shows the theoretical potential of this heat on a multi-continental scale and highlights the importance of considering subsurface heat recycling in the move to a low-carbon economy in a warmer world.

Component-based modeling of ground-coupled seasonal thermal energy storages

Christoph Bott, Mathias Ehrenwirth, Christoph Trinkl, Peter Bayer

Summary: This study employs a flexible, component-based model called STORE to investigate design scenarios and evaluate the performance and impacts of seasonal thermal energy storage. The results show that different designs have different performances, and the optimal design should focus on external cover and top insulation. The capability of STORE to rapidly analyze various scenarios proves its high applicability in optimizing the planning processes of seasonal thermal energy storage projects.

City-wide monitoring and contributing factors to shallow subsurface temperature variability in Nanjing, China

Tiansheng Zhang, Chun Liu, Peter Bayer, Liwei Zhang, Xulong Gong, Kai Gu, Bin Shi

Summary: This study measured the shallow temperatures down to a depth of 100 m in 19 closed boreholes in Nanjing, China, for one year, aiming to understand the subsurface thermal regime and its influencing factors. The results showed that surface temperatures were most dynamic and influenced by air temperature, while temperatures remained stable at depths of 10-20 m. Geological and hydrological conditions played a primary role in affecting subsurface heat flux and loss, with urban land cover change and enhanced heat release from urbanization contributing to a subsurface urban heat island. The monitoring concept used in this study can provide continuous profiles of subsurface temperature and serve as a reference for city-wide geothermal monitoring in other urban areas.

Bo Zhang, Kai Gu, Peter Bayer, Fulin Xiang, Zhuang Wei, Baojun Wang, Bin Shi

Summary: This study aims to develop a convenient method to investigate vertical water flow in slopes on the sub-meter scale. The method is successfully validated in a laboratory tank with a series of experiments and has the ability to estimate flow rates greater than 1.0 x 10(-6) m.s(-1) and identify the influence of moving water on thermal profiles even at a flow rate of 1.0 x 10(-7) m.s(-1).

Estimation of Groundwater Flow Rate by an Actively Heated Fiber Optics Based Thermal Response Test in a Grouted Borehole

Bo Zhang, Kai Gu, Peter Bayer, Haibo Qi, Bin Shi, Baojun Wang, Yuehua Jiang, Quanping Zhou

Summary: The thermal response test (TRT) establishes a relationship between groundwater flow rate and temperature response curve. To minimize the borehole effects in the test, practical solutions for in situ heating and temperature sensing are needed. Numerical models were used to study the effect of grout and jacket on the simulated thermal response, and these findings were applied to develop groundwater flow rate estimation procedures. The developed approach was successfully applied in a case study, validating its applicability in the field.

Hydronic Road-Heating Systems: Environmental Performance and the Case of Ingolstadt Ramps

Arslan Ahmed, Fosca Conti, Peter Bayer, Markus Goldbrunner

Summary: Snowfall and ice formation on road surface can be a safety hazard for driving, and the traditional methods of using salt and de-icing chemicals have environmental and economic disadvantages. Hydronic road heating systems, which circulate a mixture of ethanol and water under the asphalt, provide a valid alternative. This study compares the environmental impact of using salts versus using a road heating system, and the results show that the heating system emits less CO2 over its lifetime.
