International Journal of Energy SUMMARYThis paper presents a historical background of ground source heat pump technology, followed by a review of its current shortcomings. Based on these observations the author assesses the R&D needs and recommendations for future research.

Investigation of thermal performance of a ground coupled heat pump system with a cylindrical energy storage tank

“…Comprehensive reviews on this topic were published by Ball et al (1983), Bankston (1988), Hadorn (1990) and Svec (1987). Lund and .…”

Geothermal heat pumps and the vagaries of subterranean geology: Energy independence at a household level as a real world experiment

“…The idea of utilizing geothermal energy using heat pumps was introduced as part of a Swiss patent dating back to 1912 [4]. This idea was taken up after World War II in the US, where the first experimental ground-source heat pump installations were manufactured in the 1940s and 50s.…”

“…The technologies used for geothermal heating and cooling have since emerged from the incubatory stage it went through during the 1980s and has made an entrance onto the market [2,[4][5][6][7][8].…”

Experimental investigation of thermal performance of a solar assisted heat pump system with an energy storage

“…A comprehensive literature survey can be found in the reports by Ball et al (1983), Svec (1987), and Bankston (1988). Chung et al (1998) used a simulation program known as TRNSYS to predict thermal performance and economic aspects of a Central Solar Heating Plant with Seasonal Storage (CSHPSS).…”
