How does AI help to harness geothermal energy?

The exploitation of geothermal energy is receiving increasing attention in the energy sector. And advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology are opening up new opportunities to exploit geothermal energy more efficiently.

Automated drilling processes

With AI, the drilling processes required to exploit geothermal energy can be automated. AI algorithms can optimise drilling parameters, reducing drilling time and costs. In addition, AI can continuously analyse drilling data, so that problems can be detected immediately and responded to quickly.

Geothermal potential estimation

AI makes geothermal potential estimation more accurate and efficient. AI algorithms can estimate the geothermal potential of an area based on analytical data. This helps investors and professionals to choose the right location and plan investments.

Operational optimisation

AI enables the optimisation of the operation of geothermal power plants. AI algorithms can continuously monitor and analyse the operation of power plants and make recommendations to improve efficiency. This helps technicians to select the right settings and to identify and solve faults and problems.

Reducing environmental impacts

AI can help reduce the environmental impact of geothermal energy exploitation. AI algorithms can optimise the energy production process to minimise emissions and environmental impact. AI can also help geothermal power plants to integrate more efficiently into existing energy supply systems.
