- This model addresses a shortcoming in common modelling practice for geothermal heat pump and borehole thermal storage technologies. The role played by the system fluid in determining dynamic performance has previously been ignored but is shown to influence calculation of the costs of systems and their overall viability. This model provides an improved method of capturing short timescale physical effects that is computationally efficient. Our approach has since been recognised in several international studies of ground heat exchangers (e.g. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2016.04.077, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2017.02.125, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.05.063). The approach to modelling demonstrated here has also been translated into study of district heating pipe systems: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2020.119440.
