Finding Balance with Hybrid TEN Systems

While closed loop geothermal borefields have been the go-to thermal resource for many thermal energy network (TEN) projects, industry experience yields a strong mix of other thermal sources & sinks which can contribute to long term thermal balance. The panelists will discuss their design and operational experience with combining thermal resources in a “hybrid” approach to reduce first costs and achieve improved long-term performance.
