“…Hourly-based dynamic simulations of the operation of the plant in its first 5 years of life allowed both the sizing of the BTES in terms of the total number and distance of BHEs, and the definition of the annual energy that can be recovered in the winter period to be delivered to the evaporators of a heat pump. A comparison with a conventional Geothermal Heat Pump (GHP) [34] shows that the proposed RTC-BTES system makes it possible to reduce the overall length of the exchangers by about three times.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
