DC 5: Development of specific design tools or the design of EGs.

Host Institution
Politecnico di Torino (Italy)
Main Supervisor
Aim

Development of specific tools to support the designer of EGs by the implementation into a customed software that will provide a user-friendly interface and support for
practitioners at the design analysis stage.

Specific Objectives
  1. Upgrading and generalisation of current preliminary design methods to account for more general conditions (geometry of the installation, thermo-hydro-geological and geothermal properties of the ground).
  2. Implementation into a specifically developed software that allow the user for inputting all the needed parameters and obtaining a preliminary outcome of the EG installation (heat exchanged, sizing of the system, dimensioning of the heat pump).
  3. Testing software against current design practice based on numerical modelling.
