  • A magnetotelluric survey and geological survey have been performed to delineate deeply extended fracture systems at the geothermal field in Seokmo Island, Inchon, Korea. One borehole(BH-1) succeed to meet a large fracture system at the depth of 750 m where approximately $72^{\circ}C$ geothermal water is overflowing, while the other borehole(BH-2), which is about 200 m eastward from BH-1, failed to develop enough geothermal water even at the depth of 1,200m. Though there have been so many electric noise sources around the survey region, good quality of MT data above 1 Hz could be obtained with careful installation, remote reference processing. Inversion of MT data for two lines roughly perpendicular to the two major lineaments respectively show that the two lineaments are related to the fracture systems that are extended at least down to 1.5 km depth and inclined eastwards. From the interpretation, additional drilling for BH-2 is recommended and finally meet the fracture systems at the depth of 1,280 m and resulted in overflow of large amount of geothermal water of temperature $69.4^{\circ}C$ from BH-2.

  • Geothermal energy is the natural heat of the Earth. Enormous amounts of thermal energy are continuously generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes of underground rocks and stored in the Earth's interior. Therefore, geothermal energy is one of the most important sustainable energy resources. Recent trends of geothermal energy exploitation technologies focus on the Earth scientific approach to geothermal heat pump system, enhanced geothermal system, aquifer thermal energy storage, underground thermal energy storage, and fluid/heat flow model ing for geothermal wells. Geothermal heat pump distribution in Korea is still in its starting phase in terms of areal utilization sense, we, however, expect to come up with national supply of over 1,000,000 toe by 2020

  • 2001년부터 2004년까지 유성 소유역내 강수, 지하수, 지열수의 산소 및 수소 동위원소 조성 변화를 검토하였다. 1975년부터 2006년까지의 강수 패턴을 분석한 결과, 연구지역은 $6{\sim}7$년의 가뭄 주기성을 보였다. 2001년도 가뭄 시기부터 2004년까지 4년간 강수의 산소 수소 동위원소 조성은 점차 무거운 성분으로 변화해가는 양상을 보였다. 연구 지역에서 4년간의 강수량을 고려한 동위원소의 가중 평균간을 구해 보면 ${\delta}^{18}O=-7.7%o,\;{\delta}D=-51%o$로서, 동일 기간 내의 지하수와 지열수의 동위원소보다 무거운 조성 범위를 보였다. 이는 연구 지역의 지수 및 지열수가 동위원소적 관점에서 2-3년 이내의 강수에 의해 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것을 의미한다. 기존 자료들을 검토해 볼 때, 연구지역에서의 지하수와 지열수는 1990년과 1992년이 가장 무거운 동위원소 조성을 보였으며 이후로는 산소 및 수소 동위원소 조성이 점차 가벼워지는 쪽으로 변화해가는 양상을 보였다.

  • Three boreholes (BE-1, BE-2 and BE-3) were drilled for geothermal resources development in Haengbok (Sejong) city. Monitoring of temperature, electric conductivity (EC) and piezometric head were carried out at each borehole. Temperatures were measured at 10 m depth, it ranges from 13.22$^{\cdot}C$ to 14.4$^{\cdot}C$. EC of BE-1 and BE-3 declined with time because groundwater flowed in boreholes. Barometric efficiency was analysed by piezometric head of groundwater and atmospheric pressure, it ranges from 44.8% to 71.5%. These parameters can be used for a geothermal modeling.

  • 유성지구 지열수의 산출 특성 및 수리적 연결성을 파악하기 위하여 2002년 3월부터 2005년 6월까지 장기 수위 관측을 실시하였다. 관측된 수위 자료를 이용하여 수위변동 주기 분석을 실시한 결과, 대부분의 관측공에서 0.5일, 1일, 7일 주기성이 확인되었다. 7일 주기성은 온천지대에서의 독특한 양수 행태로 인해 발생되는 인위적 현상으로서, 연구 지역내 관측공들의 수리적 연결성이 양호한 것을 반영하였다. 수위 영향 관계를 분석한 결과, E-W 방향성과 N-S 방향성의 지질구조가 지열수 저류체의 발달 및 지열수 유동에 중요한 규제 요소로 작용되고 있음이 확인되었다. 전반적으로 지열수의 열원과 대수층의 수리적 연결성과는 상호 연관성이 있을 것으로 해석된다.

  • Thermal conductivity of rocks is one of the most important parameters in designing a geothermal heat pump system, because heat exchange rate depends primarily on thermal conductivity of rocks. In this paper, the measurement methods of thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity of rocks, and heat exchange rate are discussed.

  • In recent geotechnical engineering, geothermal approach has been on the horizon to deal with geoenvironmental issues, freezing and thawing problems, and seepage phenomenon in dams and embankments. In this study, geothermal characteristic through inner body of dams and its influence on the seepage flow were experimented by lab test and field instrumentation. Also, one of up-to-date temperature monitoring technique, called as multi-channel thermal line sensing, was evaluated its availability. As a result of lab test, it is found that the seepage flow has influence on the geothermal characteristic and a potential of finding phreatic line and seepage fluctuation could be possible by continuous temperature monitoring using thermal line sensing skills. These kine of geothermal information could be available to the modelling of water geo-structure interaction. Out of short-term field tests, clear water table and temperature distribution of a dam were easily found through temperature monitoring in holes located near a reservoir and holes within a depth of constant temperature layer. However, it is also found that the geothermal flow and finding seepage line could not be easily understandable through multi-channel temperature monitoring because of the existence of constant temperature field, thermal conductivity of soils and rocks, and unsaturated characteristics of geo-material. In this case, long-term geothermal monitoring is recommended to find sudden fluctuation of seepage line and amount of leakage.

  • This study describes energy and exergy analysis of the Maeeum-Ri Geothermal District Heating System(MGDHS) of Ganghwa Island, Incheon, Korea. Design data are used to assess the performance of the geothermal district heating system. Geothermal resources of MGDHS are found to be low quality with specific exergy index of 0.029. Exergy losses occur in the pumps and heat exchangers as well as in the geothermal Quid and direct discharge. As a result, the total exergy losses accounts for 5.2% in pumps, 47% in the discharge, and 3.3% in heat exchanger based on the total exergy input to the entire MGDHS. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are found to be 28.8% and 44.5%, respectively.
