A: Status and perspectives of geothermal technologies
Presentation
The first part of this presentation provides an overview of the deep and shallow geothermal market development and the prospective for the next decades.
The financial crisis has slowed down some of the development in geothermal electricity, and it is apparently a difficult time to attract the necessary investment. However, the investigation in possible projects is going on in more countries...

A: Status and perspectives of geothermal technologies
Presentation
When the government of Germany boldly decided in September 2010 to initiate the *Energiewende* (Energy Transition), this was only six month before the Fukushima accident.
The target of this challenging endeavor is to reduce greenhouse gases, cut down on overall energy consumption and foster renewable energy generation. Legislation to that effect was passed in 2011, which saw an...

A: Status and perspectives of geothermal technologies
Presentation
The ambitious development goals set by the geothermal community for projected geopower and geoheat capacities in year 2050, 140 GWel (including engineered geothermal systems – EGS) and 800 GWth respectively, act as a strong stimulus for technological innovation.
In this perspective the present paper focuses on key segments aimed at (i) improving drilling success ratios, (ii) reclaiming,...

Presentation
The presentation starts dealing with the basic thermodynamic principles of heat
pumps, focusing on the main parameters describing their performances, like COP,
EER etc. A brief description of compression and absorption HP is provided.
Then it describes their main components and their influence on the performance parameters. Some details about the operating fluids are also given, stressing...
