Relating groundwater heat-potential to city-scale heat-demand: A theoretical consideration for urban groundwater resource management

摘要: Abstract To sustainably plan the use of subsurface resources, a discussion about thermal management is needed, as well more coordinated and efficient resources. This contribution outlines theoretical consideration for how to effectively manage urban The made by means assessing heat-potential from groundwater resources against background heat-demand. We illustrate that, in principle, could be directly ‘mined’ exploit them store ‘waste energy’. show quantitative flow- heat-transport modeling approaches can offer scientific basis strategies. In combination with geographic information systems, evaluating heat-demand become concepts overall economic ecological planning resource usage. An index which relates introduced here. allows us quantify share that energy’ have satisfy On one hand, we demonstrate spatial distribution this derived area Basel, Switzerland. other exemplify temporal evolution selected areas discuss capacity space heating typical annual profile.
