Abstract: Boreholes used for generating geothermal energy or other purposes are formed at least in part by accelerating projectiles toward geologic material. Interaction between a projectile and the geologic material may generate debris or other material. The temperature of this generated material may be used to determine the potential for generation of geothermal energy using the borehole. Based on the temperature of the material, a fluid having a different temperature than that of the material is provided into the borehole for generation of power using geothermal energy.

Abstract: An installation including at least one source of geothermal energy for geothermal storage, at least one other energy source, and equipment for converting and distributing energy. The geothermal source includes probes installed in the medium that permit heat exchange between the geothermal medium and a heat-transport fluid passing through the probes. The method involves defining a forecast trajectory (TP) for the temperature of the geothermal medium over time, evaluating the temperature of the geothermal medium, making an adjustment to the thermal power exchanged between the geothermal medium and the heat-transport fluid which on leaving the probe has a temperature (TW), in the direction of making the temperature of the geothermal medium consistent with the forecast trajectory. The mean (TM) of the forecast trajectory (TP) is stable and preferably exhibits, with respect to the ground temperature (TN) a differential causing an annual thermal flux between the natural ground and the medium.
