Heating and cooling buildings remains around one quarter of UK carbon emissions. Electrification of heat is required to decarbonise the sector and sustainable ground source systems of high efficiency are an essential part of that energy transition, minimising the need for additional green electricity. However, there remains uncertainty around investigation and deployment of ground source scheme such as open loop systems due to insufficient understand of the balance between porous media and fracture flow in UK aquifers. Relatively few open loop systems are operational and anecdotally some are not achieving performance due to thermal breakthrough that has occurred through insufficient understanding of the groundwater regime. This PhD project will work along side the NERC funded SMARTRes project to gather data from thermal testing in the Chalk and Sherwood Sandstone aquifers and use the results to both better understand thermal transport in those aquifers and upscale the results to develop sustainable plans for wider deployment.

供暖和制冷建筑仍然占英国碳排放量的四分之一左右。供热电气化是该行业脱碳的必要条件，而高效率的可持续地源系统是能源转型的重要组成部分，最大限度地减少了对额外绿色电力的需求。然而，由于对英国含水层中多孔介质和裂隙流之间的平衡了解不足，因此在调查和部署诸如开环系统等地源方案方面仍存在不确定性。相对较少的开环系统是可操作的，并且据说由于对地下水状况的不充分理解而发生的热突破，一些开环系统没有实现性能。这个博士项目将沿着边NERC资助的SMARTRes项目收集白垩和舍伍德砂岩含水层的热测试数据，并使用结果来更好地了解这些含水层的热传输和升级的结果，以制定可持续的计划，更广泛的部署。
