Introduction

Geothermal resources are natural resources that contain thermal energy deep in the earth. These resources have significant potential for sustainable energy supply. However, in order to exploit them effectively, it is important to measure and assess their capacity.

Measurement methods

There are several methods available to measure the capacity of geothermal resources. One of the most commonly used methods is thermal well drilling. This method involves drilling a well near the geothermal resource and then using measuring instruments to record the temperature and pressure of the well. These data can be used to determine the heat dissipation capacity and capacity of the source.

Another method is to use geophysical measurements. This method uses geophysical instruments, such as temperature and pressure gauges, as well as geoelectric and seismic measurements, to measure the distribution and movement of thermal energy deep underground. These data can be used to determine the capacity and potential of geothermal resources.

Database-based analysis

The use of databases allows the capacity of geothermal resources to be analysed and compared. English-language databases contain a number of technical articles detailing the measurement methods and results of geothermal resources. These data can help in determining the capacity of geothermal resources and in planning sustainable energy supply.

Summary

Measuring the capacity of geothermal resources is an important step towards a sustainable energy supply. Thermal well drilling and geophysical measurements allow the determination of the capacity of resources. Articles in databases can help to analyse the measurement results and plan sustainable energy supply.
