METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GEOTHERMAL DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND INSTALLATION CERTIFICATION

摘要

The present document describes a computer-implemented method for determining design parameters for a geothermal installation at a specific location. The method comprises: providing installation parameters to a computing device; obtaining weather data representative of the weather at the specific location and forwarding the weather data to the computing device; the computing device using at least part of the installation parameters and at least part of the weather data to calculate maximum power requirements; selecting a heat exchanger configuration comprising at least a selection of a vertical loop installation and a horizontal loop installation and providing the selected heat exchanger configuration to the computing device; for a vertical loop installation, the computing device calculating a total drilling depth of the heat exchanger installation; and for a horizontal loop installation, the computing device calculating a total trench length of the heat exchanger installation.
