“…In recent years, an EGS technology has been developed to artificially create a reservoir by hydraulic stimulation, thus enhancing the permeability and fluid saturation of hot dry rock. Such technology is still in the development stage with few pilot plants in operation, but not yet commercialized (Matek, 2016;Mohais et al, 2016). Other than electricity generation, geothermal energy can be used for various direct heat applications such as space and district heating, geothermal heat pumps, agricultural applications, drying and evaporation processes, heat requirements in animal husbandry, aquaculture, etc.…”

Numerical modeling and simulations for techno-economic assessment of non-conventional energy systems Manish Nandanwar The techno-economic analyses of two non-conventional energy systemsenhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and natural gas hydrate systems were performed using a numerical simulation approach. These energy systems, which are still in the development stage and not yet commercialized, are characterized by common components, which are surface plant facilities and subsurface fluid flow and heat transfer. This study aims at a better understanding and advanced evaluation of energy potential as well as the economic viability of these systems by the development of new robust numerical models in order to obtain a more realistic representation of the physical systems.
