| Summary |
|---|
| Possibilities of geothermal energy utilization, types of geothermal systems and methods of theirs utilization, hydrothermal systems, geopressure systems, hot dry rock systems, magmatic systems, research a methodology of geothermal systems prospection, location of geothermal resources in the Czech Republic and abroad, geothermal energy and nature, geothermal boreholes, low potential energy and locality, economy of heat pumps. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the individual types of geothermal systems, i.e. from high-potential systems to low enthalpy systems. Then to be able to apply theoretical knowledge in proposing researches and searching for these geothermal sources. In the framework of exercise to master the selection of technologies for low-temperature areas and the design of the low enthalpy geothermal borehole exchangers. |
