| 研究テーマ名称 | Geothermal Potential of railroad tracks |
| 研究テーマ概要 | Horizontal Ground Heat exchangers (HGHE) can be used to provide climate friendly heating and cooling. However, a downside of this technology is that HGHE require a lot of space. Railroad tracks cover a lot of space in many cities where HGHE's could potentially be installed. In countries like Japan where space is very limited, particularly in cities, using this land can provide an alternative option to expensive drilling. This space can be used to provide heating and cooling for different consumers like stations or switch points. Especially when combined with other constructions on the railroad money can be saved by combining the projects. It is planned to construct a HGHE below a railroad in Germany and use the energy provided for heating a nearby railroad switch point. Said project will be constructed in combination with the partly renewal of the railroad track. The data from this project will be used for the evaluation and creation of a model to investigate the geothermal potential. In addition, the cooling capacity, which is not needed for switch points, will also be measured for a certain time to evaluate the potential as well. |
