1. Performance Evaluation of a High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Under Influence of Groundwater Flow
University essay from KTH/EnergiteknikAbstract : Recent years have seen a growing interest in large-scale high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (HT-BTES) as a means to store industrial waste heat and solar energy between the seasons. A profound understanding and characterization of the thermal and hydraulic processes involved in such systems is required for the optimal design as well as for environmental assessments of the storage.

3. Geothermal Potential of Sub-Volcanic Intrusions in a Typical Caldera Setting
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonikAbstract : Sub-volcanic intrusions can form an extensive network of sills, dikes and other intrusion types that make up a plumbing system beneath volcanoes. Such intrusions are the heat source for high-temperature geothermal systems in volcanic areas and therefore, it is of great importance to study them in relation to geothermal exploration and production.
