In urban environments, shallow geothermal heating and cooling systems can play a crucial role in the transition towards renewable energy sources. One such site (USquare) is transformed military barracks Brussels, where over one hundred boreholes were drilled (~120 m) equipped with heat exchangers as part of low-enthalpy network for multi-use development project. Fourteen these fiber optic cables that provide continuous temporal monitoring downhole conditions during operation. This includes...
Estimations of bedrock topography below glaciers and ice thickness are vital for quantifying freshwater availability surrounding populations understanding the contribution melting to sea-level rise in context global warming. While active seismology is commonly used estimation, utilization passive methods remains relatively rare. Passive solutions offer cost-effectiveness, non-invasiveness continuous monitoring capabilities that present valuable benefits glaciological research. Over past two...
An in-depth knowledge of local geology and temperature gradient around wellbores is essential in order to characterize understand geothermal systems. Fiber-optic sensing allows for the measurement strain with high spatial temporal resolution. For downhole applications, deployment relatively easy does not interfere production, making fiber-optic based technologies attractive monitoring operations. We aim demonstrate potential distributed (DSS) fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) monitor energy...
