| Abstract |
Slovakia is one of the countries with rich and plentiful sources of geothermal energy. Utilization of geothermal energy (GE) is miscellaneous; among others, as alternatives for systems of centralized heat supply (CHS). The utilization of this unconventional source asks for maximal usage of accessible energetic potential. In accordance with GE utilization, it is necessary to project such captation devices or geothermal energetic system (GES), which will enable consistent – gradual, cascade – utilization of energy with maximum efficiency considering maximum protection of surrounding environment. The actual utilization of GE depends on one hand on physiochemical attributes of GTW source, and on the other hand the policies, regulations, and norms, as well as technical abilities of GE utilization apply, in both: proposed captation devices as well as by classic heat sources. |
