  2. objective • Identifying key optimization factors for Ground Coupled Heat Pump (GCHP) systems using modelling, simulations field studies and experiments. • Developing simple and user-friendly models and calculation tools to facilitate designers and researchers interested in the complete system optimization. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  3. Literature review • Single boreholes: Long term response can be modelled using simple existing analytical models with reasonable accuracy. • Multiple boreholes: Shortage of analytical models for both long and short term response. • Need of an analytical model which: • is capable of simulating both short-term and long-term response of GHE. • considers all significant heat transfer processes in GHE. • retains the actual geometry of the borehole. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  4. Case study • Astronomy-House, Lund University • Floor area: 5300 m2 • Heating demand: 475 MWh • Cooling demand: 155 MWh • Ground system • 20 boreholes • Rectangular configuration • Each 200 m deep EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  5. Simulating MULTIPLE BOREHOLES Tb = brine temperature Tw = borehole wall temperature Tp = temperature penalty from neighbouring boreholes EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  8. Literature review • Single boreholes: Long term response can be modelled using simple existing analytical models with reasonable accuracy. • Multiple boreholes: Shortage of analytical models for both long and short term response. • Need of an analytical model which: • is capable of simulating both short-term and long-term response of GHE. • considers all significant heat transfer processes in GHE. • retains the actual geometry of the borehole. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  9. modelling • Existing Analytical models: • Equivalent pipe / cylinder instead of a U-tube. • Thermal capacities of the water and the pipe are often ignored. • Response is a function only of the distance (r) from the centre of the equivalent pipe. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  10. modelling • New Analytical models: • Two pipes in the ground. • Accounts for the thermal short circuiting between the two legs of the U-tube. • Response is a function of both x and y. • Can predict the short time response accurately. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  11. modelling • New Analytical models: • Two pipes in the grout surrounded by the ground. • Accounts for the thermal properties of both the grout and the ground. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  12. modelling • New Numerical model: • Solved the heat transfer problem in 2D using conformal coordinate system. • Used for the validation of the analytical model. EFFSYS 2 meeting 2009-12-14

  13. Literature review • Single boreholes: Long term response can be modelled using simple existing analytical models with reasonable accuracy. • Multiple boreholes: Shortage of analytical models for both long and short term response. • Need of an analytical model which: • is capable of simulating both short-term and long-term response of GHE. • considers all significant heat transfer processes in GHE. • retains the actual geometry of the borehole.
