• Geothermal energy: stable, environmentally-friendly, renewable, baseload energy supply.
• 20% of total energy is used for such low temperature end-use– geothermal energy can
satisfy this end-use.
Introduction70% of
whcih for heating and AC
30% of which for heating

• Levelized cost of geothermal energy
• Geothermal gradient factor– Drilling cost may contribute 60% of the initial
capital cost.
• Population density factor– A high energy demand will reduce the
Data interpolation by IDW to create temperature surface
Get mean temperature at each census tract by zonal
statistics as tables
Calculate gradient for each census tract
for each map

• Preliminary Work: WVU Case Study– Location: WVU Evansdale campus– Geothermal gradient: 26.44°C/km – Population: 30,000 students– Heating in winter and cooling in summer– Distribution network: current steam pipeline– Levelized cost of geothermal energy: $5.30/MMBtu
• Geothermal Gradient Influence–
Geothermal Gradient Factor
By changing the gradient of the case study, and keeping all the other factors constant, get and plot the levelized cost vs. gradient.

• Other functions and assumption used:– Drilling cost(Million $): 1.0910-7D2+8.8310-4D+0.23 [1]
– Pressure Drop: – dP/dL=2fρv2/ID– Discount rate: 5%– One engineer salary: $70k/year– Operation and Maintenance Cost: $0.0047/kWh [2]
– Project’s lifetime: 30 years
• Population Density Influence– By changing the household number, therefore changing the
population density, and keeping all the other factors constant, get and plot the levelized cost vs. population density
