Project objectives:
The results of FlexGeo will significantly increase the use of both shallow and deep geothermal energy and, therefore, contribute to meeting the emissions target. net zero of greenhouse gases of the European Union. The main objective of the project is to provide sustainable solutions for the stabilization andoptimization of DHCN (District Heating and Cooling Systems) systems across Europe and pave the way for the market entry of commercial reversible modular ORC systems.
The main objectives are:
• Test a ORC reversible geothermal system at TRL level 7
• Develop and demonstrate advanced control strategies
• Optimize the design and operation of innovative systems District heating and cooling with UTES (underground thermal storage systems)
• Develop optimal designs for geothermal systems flexible future
