Abstract EN
The ground-coupled ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system is a common method for shallow geothermal energy exploitation and utilization.
GSHP has a great heat exchange rate and wide application range.
In order to effectively exploit shallow geothermal energy in the central urban area of Danyang City, Jiangsu Province, based on finite volume method, it is adopted to simulate the amount of recoverable shallow geothermal energy in the study area through ground-coupled heat exchange.
The simulation is conducted on the development trend of thermal transport and thermal balance in the study area from early June 2015 to the end of May 2025 to obtain the temperature distribution at different times.
Under the presupposed working conditions, with the operation of a ground-coupled GSHP, thermal accumulation occurs in parts of the study area.
To mitigate the problem of thermal accumulation, two schemes are proposed: (1) adding auxiliary cooling towers and (2) increasing the amount heated domestic water in spring and autumn.
Both schemes mitigate thermal accumulation.
For Scheme 1, the total heat supply for shallow geothermal energy in the central urban area of Danyang City in winter is 2.91 × 106 kW, and the total heat release in summer is 3.53 × 106 kW.
For Scheme 2, the total heat release in summer is 3.52 × 106 kW and the total heat supply in winter is 2.90 × 106 kW.
A ground-coupled GSHP system has significant applicability in the central urban area of Danyang City, where shallow geothermal energy has good exploitation prospects.
