CHEAP-<strong>GSHPs</strong> project has received funding from the<br />
European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation<br />
programme under grant agreement No. 657982
GENERAL<br />
INFORMATION<br />
I<br />
n order to achieve the objectives of <strong>Cheap</strong>-<strong>GSHPs</strong>, a multidisciplinary and complementary consortium<br />
...has been built, composed by specialists in dierent disciplines involved (physics, climatology,<br />
chemistry, mechanics, engineering, architecture, drilling and GSHE technology). The majority of them<br />
have a large and comprehensive experience in the framework of the European Commission (EU)<br />
Research Programs and particularly in shallow geothermal systems.<br />
T<br />
he proposal will focus on one hand on the development of more ecient and safe shallow geothermal<br />
........systems and the reduction of the installation costs. This will be realized first by improving drastically<br />
an existing, innovative vertical borehole installation technology and the design of coaxial steel GSHE and<br />
second, newly designed basket type GSHE’s with novel installation methodologies will be developed.<br />
With a view to improve safety and reduce permitting requirements the improved coaxial GSHE’s will be<br />
installed respectively to depths of 40 – 50 meters and the basket type GSHE’s to 15 – 20 meters. This<br />
doesn’t prevent however the coaxial GSHE’s to be installed up to depths of 100 – 120 meters.<br />
O<br />
n the other hand, the proposal will develop a decision support system (DSS) and other design tools<br />
..........covering the geological and drillability aspects, feasibility and economic evaluations based on<br />
dierent plant set-up options, selection, design, installation, commissioning and operation of low<br />
enthalpy geothermal systems. These tools will be made publicly available on the web at dierent levels<br />
for respectively non-expert and expert users, including comprehensive training to lower the market entry<br />
threshold.<br />
G<br />
iven that drilling and GSHE technologies are mature but costly, this holistic approach is included in the<br />
........proposal to bring the overall cost of the total project down, i.e. not just the cost of the GSHE itself but<br />
the avoidance of ground response tests, the reduction of the engineering costs for the design of the GSHE<br />
and the integration of heat pumps with building heating and cooling systems. Also the use of the novel<br />
heat pumps for higher temperatures developed within the project will reduce the costs in the market for<br />
retrofitting buildings, in particular for historical ones, when replacement of the high temperature<br />
terminals can be avoided. The developments will be demonstrated in six sites with dierent<br />
undergrounds and climate conditions, whilst the tools will be applied to several virtual demo cases.<br />

A<br />
ll the most relevant aspects that have to be taken into account when designing a new ........... GSHP<br />
..........system are considered, in order to assist users of the Decision Support System (DSS) and explain<br />
how the data obtained have been collected and analyzed as shown in WP5. For allowing proper<br />
calculations of the DSS robust databases have to be built up.<br />
The databases present also representative values that can be easily understood by expert and nonexpert<br />
users. The resulting map is derived from the generalized geological context (and its associated<br />
thermal behavior) with respect to the geological variability of the underground conditions in the <strong>Cheap</strong>-<br />

CLIMATIC DATA AND BUILDING ENERGY DEMANDS<br />
climate database has been created to be integrated within the design tool (WP4) developed by the<br />
...........project as well as the DSS.<br />
First, data have been collected using the Test Reference Years (TRY) available in ENERGYPLUS software<br />
and come TRYs from the database of METEONORM. By comparing the locations and the Köppen-Geiger<br />
map of Europe, it results a good definition of most of the climate classes.<br />
D<br />
ierent types of buildings have been considered: four residential buildings and five non- residential<br />
..........buildings, like as a day care analyze, three administrative buildings and a municipal building were<br />
analyzed. Three dierent levels of insulation have been considered for dierent climates. In this way<br />
several correlations linking the building area (for residential buildings) or volume (for non-residential<br />
buildings) have been found as a function of the Koeppen-Geiger climate and type of building. Moreover<br />
standardized hourly profiles have been identified for each month.<br />

HELICOIDAL GSHE AND DRILLING MACHINE<br />
DEVELOPMENTS<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
Development of a drilling machine capable of drilling boreholes with diameters about 350 mm at<br />
various depth<br />
Simulate, study and develop new GSHE geometries for boreholes with a diameter of 350 mm<br />
Simulate, study and develop new GSHE geometries for boreholes with a diameter of 175 mm using a<br />
drilling machine which combines ‘Vibrasond’ & ‘easy drill’ drilling technology<br />
Identify the best configurations of GSHE and drilling machine<br />
F<br />
RESULTS<br />
irst, a survey within all partner countries was done to evaluate the recent installation costs and the<br />
.......performances of dierent GSHE systems under fixed and various boundary conditions. Then, dierent<br />
polyethylene materials and manufacturing processes were tested theoretically and practically to develop<br />
a new 15 m long GSHE to fit in boreholes with 350 mm.<br />
This easy-to-handle prototype was installed at the drilling machine test site in Molinella, Italy (see picture<br />
below) and later on at four dierent demonstration sites of the project. To be able to install this new GSHE<br />
in large-dimensioned boreholes, an adequate drilling and installation technique was developed, the socalled<br />
‘enlarged-easy-drill’ technology. This application allows drillings in soft sediments without<br />
supporting casing as the drilling rods covers this function. Another issue of this WP was to enlarge the<br />
penetrometer technique for boreholes of 175-325 mm to fit with heat basket type GSHEs. This was quite<br />
challenging, hence the diameter of the helicoidal GSHE was reduced to fit in boreholes < 100 mm.<br />
Although the manufacturing of GSHE with a diameter of 85-90 mm was successful, simulations show<br />
that this geometry will have a poor geothermal performance.<br />
W<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
ithin the WP the combined<br />
...........development of a new helicoidal<br />
GSHE together with the advanced<br />
‘enlarged-easy-drill’ technology was<br />
accomplished. An easy-to-handle<br />
GHSE prototype, with defined and<br />
s i m u l a t e d d i m e n s i o n s , w a s<br />
successfully installed applying this<br />
new drilling methodology. Therefore<br />
the achievements of WP2 can tested<br />
under real conditions within WP6 at the<br />
demonstration sites all over Europe.<br />

COAXIAL GSHE AND INSTALLATION MACHINE<br />
DEVELOPMENT<br />
I<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
n this work package, a new rotating and vibrating drilling head is developed. In addition, a high-pressure<br />
....water supply system injects water through a drill bit to lose, further reducing the piling time of steel coaxial<br />
heat exchangers. Finally, closure systems ensure the tightness of the heat exchangers. In addition,<br />
improvements to the heat exchanger design (diameter, insulated internal tube,..) and new materials are<br />
studied to improve thermal energy exchange with the soil. In a test field, the dierent designs and<br />
machine developments are tested.<br />
F<br />
RESULTS<br />
rom the simulations and cost/benefit studies, a stainless steel tube with an enlarged external diameter<br />
.......of 76 mm is the best compromise between thermal extraction yield and material cost. A co-extruded<br />
inner tube with foam insulation has been realized. Together with the reduced borehole resistance of such<br />
GSHE’s, when compared to conventional double-U’s, higher thermal extraction yields in transient<br />
operating conditions are expected to be achieved.<br />
Machine ancillaries: vibrating, rotating<br />
machine head (d) mounted on existing<br />
penetrometer (a), high pressure pump to<br />
inject water through the tip of the GSHE.<br />
An insulated inner tube (c) prevents the<br />
geothermal fluid going up from being cooled<br />
down by the colder fluid coming down. In<br />
addition, the fluid velocity inside the GSHE<br />
reaches turbulent flow conditions, thereby<br />
further increasing the energy exchange with<br />
the soil.<br />
T<br />
cheap-gshp.eu<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
he modifications to the piling methodology enables the installation of larger diameter heat<br />
.........exchangers in more types of undergrounds. The drilling methodology (a) is a variation of the<br />
traditional one, designed to optimize the cost/installation for large diameter GSHE’s. The new design<br />
uses 1.5 m to 3.0 m long tubes with an external diameter of 76.1 mm.<br />
To avoid having to extract the drill bit, a drill bit to lose has been designed with a low cost manufacturing<br />
approach. The drilling machine with the new drilling head and the high-pressure pump for water injection<br />
was built and will be used in all the demonstration sites to verify its operability in dierent types of<br />
underground.<br />
The high cost of geothermal plants is due to the cost and duration of the drilling operation. The reduction<br />
of drilling time (b) using these new technologies will be one of the steps to achieve the objective of cost<br />
reduction of <strong>Cheap</strong> GSHP project. The increased thermal energy exchange rate of the improved co-axial<br />
heat exchangers in transient operating conditions is the other step towards this cost reduction objective<br />
since less meters need to be installed for the same power requirement.<br />

he objective of WP5 is the development of a user-friendly web application that enables the end-users<br />
.......to choose the optimal geothermal technology for their installations. This objective is focused on<br />
building:<br />
A decision support system (DSS) to identify the best low enthalpy geothermal system composed of<br />
GSHE and heat pump in function of the underground, the building loads, the climatic conditions and<br />
the owners' criteria.<br />
A web platform that gives access to the system through a user friendly interface (GUI).<br />

climatic conditions through measurements of pilot systems in 6 sites for at least 12 months;<br />
Evaluate the high temperature heat pump performance: energy output, eciency, reliability,<br />
temperature levels;<br />
Predict performance of developed systems in the long run by computer simulation: virtual cases;<br />
Compare with standard technology.<br />
DEMONSTRATION SITES<br />
emo sites completed covered a variety of geological environments, climatic conditions and building<br />
............typologies. They are the UPV campus test site in Valencia, Spain, the bioclimatic oce building of CRES<br />
in Pikermi, Greece, the residential eco-house in Putte, Belgium, the REHAU test field in Erlangen, Germany,<br />
the Belfield House at University College Dublin, Ireland and the Nikola Tesla museum in Zagreb, Croatia. All<br />
demo systems are equipped with real time data logging and online monitoring systems.<br />
I<br />
ew technologies demonstrated or tested in above sites were<br />
..........innovative drilling rig and equipment, stainless steel 304L coaxial<br />
BHEs and piling method, helicoidal BHE and auger/easy drill installation<br />
method. At the Zagreb demo site the high temperature HFO/CO2 twin<br />
cycle heat pump developed by the project is also demonstrated.<br />
urthermore, the future application of the new technologies<br />
.......developed were evaluated by computer simulation of heating and<br />
cooling needs at 10 existing buildings, which covered both the building<br />
energy use and the energy supply from the earth.<br />
n each case, information about geometry and distribution of spaces (drawings), building data (description or<br />
.....thermal properties of opaque and glazing element), description of the use of the occupied spaces (lighting and<br />
schedules) and ground properties were collected and a building model was created for its dynamic simulation.<br />
T<br />
N<br />
F<br />
CONCLUSIONS<br />
he developed helicoidal BHE oers significant advantages over standard helix in terms of 5-fold more allowable<br />
...........installation depth, pipe stability and easy installation. It also outperforms the single-U in terms of thermal energy<br />
output.<br />
The developed 76mm 304L stainless steel coaxial BHE with inner insulated pipe showed 10-20% higher geothermal<br />
energy yield, 20% cost savings in unstable soil conditions and 15-55% less geothermal energy costs in both heating<br />
and cooling operation, compared to single and double U BHEs.<br />
The easy drill technology proved eective in cases of unconsolidated soil with unstable borehole walls.<br />
The piling method combining thrust, rotation, vibration, water injection, inner shaft, drillbit-to-loose and welding was<br />
validated as an eective as drilling method with similar BHE installation rates in consolidated formations and 50%<br />
less installation times in unconsolidated sediments.<br />
The developed high temperature heat pump provides reliable heating coupled to a high temperature heating system.<br />

..........legislative systems in dierent Member States and focuses specifically on those relating to closed<br />
loop ground heat exchangers. It highlights the main context for understanding potential regulatory and<br />
legislative quick wins with respect to the deployment of the helicoidal and co-axial heat exchangers<br />
developed within the CHEAPs project.<br />
A<br />
risk assessment support tool for assessing specific aspects of design, installation and operation of<br />
..........the collector in dierent environmental conditions and dierent building types was developed. It<br />
demonstrates how the dierent characteristics of buildings and their energy demands can be addressed<br />
using the collector, drilling and heat pump technologies developed by the CHEAPS project and also the<br />
potential for integration with other technologies within heating and cooling delivery systems. A life cycle<br />
cost analysis of the new technologies developed in the CHEAPS project has been developed.<br />
S<br />
tandards in Europe related to ground source heat<br />
...........pump systems were categorised and ways to introduce<br />
the <strong>Cheap</strong>-<strong>GSHPs</strong> technology into them were proposed<br />
including the application of geothermal technologies in<br />
historical buildings and buildings with cultural functions. The<br />
analysis of the applicable standards and the development of<br />
the CHEAP-<strong>GSHPs</strong> project technologies highlighted<br />
shortcomings in the text of the standards that are perceived<br />
as potentially inhibiting the route to market of the innovative<br />
technologies. A set of recommendations to CEN and IEC<br />
committees that are drafting the standards applicable to the<br />
CHEAP-<strong>GSHPs</strong> technologies were developed. National<br />
standards where modifications may be necessary have been<br />
identified and recommendations proposed.<br />

PROJECT<br />
RESULTS<br />
WP8<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
In depth analysis of the current situation in regard to market penetration, market potential and<br />
identification of barriers in the countries of the participating partners. Identification of the business<br />
opportunities of the products developed within <strong>Cheap</strong>-<strong>GSHPs</strong> project.<br />
Assessment on how the new products (heat exchangers, drilling technologies, high temperature heat<br />
pump and information and software design tools) can contribute to overcome those barriers in order to<br />
extend the GSHP market or exploit new market niches. Development of the exploitation plans for the<br />
new products and services obtained within the framework of the project.<br />
Development of new Business Models addressing the safe exploitation of the <strong>Cheap</strong>-<strong>GSHPs</strong><br />
technologies.<br />
Development of an IPR strategy. Identification of sensible Intellectual Property Rights for the new<br />
products and processes and analysis of those mechanisms that will better allow safeguarding them.<br />
RESULTS<br />
An action plan with supporting measures towards the introduction of the <strong>Cheap</strong>-<strong>GSHPs</strong> technologies<br />
in the market in general and in the historical buildings in particular. It will be communicated to decision<br />
makers at national and/or regional level.<br />
Four systematic and strategic business model definitions for making profit and introducing the<br />
products developed to the market that will help the developer partners to achieve this goal.<br />
A new business model to put on the market a new, integrated, ecient and cheap shallow geothermal<br />
solution<br />
CONCLUSIONS<br />
I<br />
I<br />
n WP8 dierent SWOT analysis as a basis of<br />
....the market support action plan were<br />
completed and the supporting measures for the<br />
introduction of the CHEAP technologies into the<br />
market and, particularly, in the historical<br />
buildings, were defined. In addition, a Canvas<br />
business model for each developed technology<br />
was completed and a new business model,<br />
called CHEAP <strong>GSHPs</strong> business platform, was<br />
defined. This model, that includes all the<br />
partners that want to participate at a European<br />
level and that serves to enlarge the market for<br />
geothermal energy, will be a key point for the<br />
consortium, really creating a new business<br />
model to put on the market a new, ecient and<br />
cheap shallow geothermal solution.<br />
