Groundwater heat pump (GWHP) system can achieve higher performance of the system by utilizing heat source of the annual constant groundwater temperature. The performance of GWHP system depends on the ground thermal environment such as groundwater temperature, groundwater flow rate and hydraulic conductivity. In this study, the geothermal environment was analyzed by using numerical simulation for develop the two-well geothermal system. As the result, this paper shows the change of the groundwater level and underground temperature around wells according to the conditions of flow rate and hydraulic conductivity.

Knowledge of ground thermal properties is most important for the proper design of large BHE(borehole heat exchanger) systems. Thermal response tests with mobile measurement devices were first introduced in Sweden and USA in 1995. Thermal response tests have so far been used primarily for in insitu determination of design data for BHE systems, but also for evaluation of grout material, heat exchanger types and ground water effects. The main purpose has been to determine insitu values of effective ground thermal conductivity, including the effect of ground-water flow and natural convection in the boreholes. Test rig is set up on a small trailer, and contains a circulation pump, a heater, temperature sensors and a data logger for recording the temperature data. A constant heat power is injected into the borehole through the pipe system of test rig and the resulting temperature change in the borehole is recorded. The recorded temperature data are analysed with a line-source model, which gives the effective insitu values of rock thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance.

Knowledge of ground thermal properties is most important for the proper design of BHE(borehole heat exchanger) systems. The configure type, pipe size and thermal performance of the BHE is highly dependent on the ground source heatpump system-efficiency and instruction cost. Thermal response tests with mobile measurement devices were developed primarily for in-situ determination of design data for Standing Column Well apply. The main purpose has been to determine in-situ values of effective ground thermal conductivity and thermal resistance, including the effect of ground-water flow and natural convection in the boreholes. The test rig is set up on a some trailer, and contains a sub-circulation pump, a boiler, temperature sensors, flow meter and a data logger for recording the temperature and circulation fluid flow data. A constant heating power is injected into the SCW through the test rig and the resulting temperature change in the SCW is recorded. The recorded temperature data are analysed with a line-source model, which gives the effective in-situ values of rock thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of SCW.

In this study, the energy and economic analysis of KIER Zero Energy Solar House (KIER ZeSH) was carried out. KIER ZeSH was designed and constructed in the end of 2009 for the purpose of more than 70% energy self-sufficiency in total load as well as less than 20% of additional construction cost. The several building energy conservation technologies like as super insulation, high performance window, wast heat recovery system, etc and renewable energy system. The renewable heating and cooling system is a kind of solar thermal system combined with geo-source heat pump as a back-up device. The capacity of 3.15kW solar BIPV system was also installed on the roof. The measurement by monitering system of ZeSH was conducted for one year from November 2009 to October 2010. The energy self-sufficiency and economic analysis were conducted based on the this monitering result. As a result, the energy self sufficiency is about 83% which is higher than that of the target and the payback period is 11 years.

The accurate measurement of temperature in the ground source heat pump system is crucial for assessing the thermal response of the system and validating the numerical model for parametric study, which is necessary for the thermal performance evaluation of the geothermal energy system. Conventional temperature sensors have some disadvantages such as they are difficult to install, and their position can be shifted during the backfill process of the ground heat exchanger. In this study, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors were used to measure the temperature change of a recently developed ground heat exchanger (Coil Column Unit, CCU). FBG sensors were first calibrated in a thermal chamber alongside a correlation sensor (RTD sensor). The calibrated sensors were then mounted on the pipe surface at each spiral of the CCU to measure how temperature changes during the in-door mockup thermal response test. Finally, the measurement results of the FBG sensors were verified with a finite element coded program. The results indicated that the temperature difference between the numerical analysis and the experiment was less than 1%, which is significantly lower than that of the previous study using the RTD sensors. Therefore, it is feasible to apply FBG sensors for temperature measurement during the operation of the TRT of the geothermal energy system.

In this study, the solar thermal and geo-source heat pump(GSHP) hybrid system for heating and cooling of Zero Energy Solar House(ZESH) was analyzed by experiment. The GSHP in this hybrid system works like as aback-up device for solar thermal system. This hybrid system was designed and installed for Zero Energy Solar House (KIER ZeSH) in Korea Institute of Energy Research. The purpose of this study is to find out that this system is optimized and operated normally for the heating load of ZeSH. The analysis was conducted as followings ; - the thermal performance of facade integrated solar collector - the on/off characteristics of solar system and GSHP - the contribution of solar thermal system. - the performance of solar thermal and ground source heat pump system respectively. - the meet of thermal load (space and water heating load). This experimental study could be useful for the optimization of this system as well as its application in house. This hybrid system could be commercialized for the green home if it is developed to a package type.

본 논문에서는 2008년 4월 이후 지열원 열펌프가 설치되어지는 현장에 시험공의 지중열전도도를 현장열응답법을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 그간에 측정된 지중열전도도를 이용하여 전국의 지중온도 및 지중열전도도의 산포도를 정리하였다. 지중열교환기의 심도가 150m일 때 지중온도 분포는 약 $12.0{\sim}19^{\circ}C$의 넓은 분포를 보였으나 대부분의 지중온도가 $15.0{\sim}17.0^{\circ}C$의 범위에 분포하였으며, 지중열전도도의 경우도 마찬가지로 1.50 ~ 9.00 W/mk 값으로 아주 넓은 분포를 보였으나 2.30 ~ 2.90W/mk 값이 가장 많이 나타냈다.
