Abstract:
This chapter introduces the relevant terminology, types of geothermal systems and the basic principles of dimensioning and design. There are two main technologies for exploiting normal geothermal energy: a) open-loop systems that utilize the extraction of underground fluids (mainly water) and exploit their relatively stable temperature and b) closed-loop systems that use a closed circuit of pipes buried in the ground (geothermal borehole) categorized into horizontal and vertical (or inclined) closed-loop systems. The selection of the most suitable type should be made after a thorough study.
