Résumé

Shallow and deep geothermal resources can be used to produce different energy services, such as district heating, electricity and cooling. Some of these services vary throughout the year. To provide them, different conversion technologies can be used. In order to identify the most efficient and economical possibilities for geothermal system exploitation, all the different system components have to be modeled and their interactions considered.

Geothermal heating

Geothermal heating is the direct use of geothermal energy for some heating applications. Humans have taken advantage of geothermal heat this way since the Paleolithic era. Approximately seventy countries made direct use of a total of 270 PJ of geothermal heating in 2004. As of 2007, 28 GW of geothermal heating capacity is installed around the world, satisfying 0.07% of global primary energy consumption. Thermal efficiency is high since no energy conversion is needed, but capacity factors tend to be low (around 20%) since the heat is mostly needed in the winter.

Géothermie

La géothermie, du grec géo (« la Terre ») et thermos (« la chaleur »), est à la fois la science qui étudie les phénomènes thermiques internes du globe terrestre, et la technique qui vise à les exploiter. Par extension, la « géothermie » désigne aussi parfois l'énergie géothermique issue de l'énergie de la Terre, qui est convertie en chaleur. Pour capter l'énergie géothermique, on fait circuler un fluide dans les profondeurs de la terre.

Enhanced geothermal system

An enhanced geothermal system (EGS) generates geothermal electricity without natural convective hydrothermal resources. Traditionally, geothermal power systems operated only where naturally occurring heat, water, and rock permeability are sufficient to allow energy extraction. However, most geothermal energy within reach of conventional techniques is in dry and impermeable rock. EGS technologies expand the availability of geothermal resources through stimulation methods, such as 'hydraulic stimulation'.
