A closer look at Co-Simulation
One of the Enabling Technologies that is being developed by the Push-It project is Co-Simulation. This simulation models the complete UTES system. That is all well and good, but how does it work? What are the challenges the team is facing? What is the current status of development? We asked Max Ohagen, who is a developer on this part of the project.

Cleaning and casing of the hydrogeological borehole
As part of the Push-It project, a new hydrogeological borehole at Litoměřice has been established to monitor groundwater flow and quality. Located at a future site for underground heat storage, the borehole will play a key role in observing groundwater velocity, flow direction, and chemical composition at depths ranging from 100 to 400 meters.

Drill core scanning and geothermic measurements
A cored borehole is currently being drilled on the RINGEN research center site, which will provide rock samples from depths ranging from the surface to 550m. Their analysis and geophysical measurements directly in the borehole will provide valuable information for planning underground heat storage in boreholes of various depths.
