Design and development of a low-cost thermal response rig

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012-08-01)

A thermal response test (TRT) is a controlled insitu test during which a known quantity of heat energy is injected into a closed loop heat-exchanger pipe while the heat dissipation rate into the surrounding ground is ...
Developing Geothermal Energy Research Capabilities at University College Dublin

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Geothermal Association of Ireland, 2011)

Ireland has one of the highest energy dependencies in Europe and as such must adapt quickly to increase renewable energy exploitation levels in order to secure its energy future. A mix of renewable energy technology types ...
Energy Foundations - Potential for Ireland

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-03)

With one of the highest energy dependencies in the European Union, Ireland must adapt quickly to renewable energy technologies or risk paying the penalty in the form of high energy prices in years to come. Escalating ...
Geothermal energy in small countries - laying the foundations for innovative development

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (World Federation of Engineering Organizations, 2011-09-04)

Creation of an environment in which shallow geothermal energy can thrive will require a coherent approach and a high level of collaboration with professionals from countries that have developed technical expertise in the ...
Geothermal energy : settlement and water chemistry in Cork, Ireland

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Institution of Engineers, 2011-07)

Detailed analysis of potential water chemistry and settlement issues associated with the installation of open-loop geothermal systems is infrequently carried out. This has led to the failure of several previously installed ...
Interpretation of In Situ and Laboratory Thermal Measurements Resulting in Accurate Thermogeological Characterisation

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Taylor & Francis, 2012-09)

Growing worldwide interest in the exploitation of geothermal energy resources has led to a scenario where the technology routinely forms part of building-scale renewable energy feasibility studies. A thorough understanding ...
Thermal response testing of compromised borehole heat exchangers

Hemmingway, Phil ; Long, Michael (Michael M.) (Oxford University Press, 2012-03-19)

The results of five thermal response tests (TRTs) are presented. Three of the tests were carried out consecutively on the same borehole to illustrate the importance of allowing artificially imposed thermal gradients to ...
