Alongside a transition from steerable and centralized traditional electricity generation to intermittent and more decentralized renewable electricity generation from solar panels and wind turbines, Dutch energy transition scenarios project a widespread deployment of heat pumps and electric vehicles towards 2050. While clearly contributing to the decarbonization of the Dutch energy system, these developments impose challenges regarding electricity supply-demand mismatch and grid congestion. Spatially resolved electricity demand and supply profiles are required to gain a better insight into where and when such problems are likely to occur within the different scenarios. The present paper focuses on Dutch solar energy supply and features the construction of geodatabases of scenario-specific, spatially resolved electricity generation profiles for building, land and water-bound PV. Country-level PV capacities are geographically distributed based on spatial variance in roof PV potential and availability of suitable land and water use areas. Corresponding electricity generation profiles are constructed using historical meteorological measurements, a diffuse fraction model and a anisotropic transposition model. Empirically found performance ratio profiles are applied to account for a multitude of performance loss factors, including shading, dust and inverter efficiency. In 2050, building-bound capacity is projected to show only limited overlap with both land-bound and water-bound PV capacity. On the other hand, regions with considerable water-bound PV capacity also tend to show considerable land-bound PV capacity. Compared to the present-day situation, yearly country-level PV electricity generation is projected to be a factor 18.5, 15.7, or 7.7 higher in 2050 when respectively following the Regional, National or International Steering scenarios.\u0000","PeriodicalId":7329,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geosciences","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80742004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flood damage assessment is a critical aspect in any decision-making process on flood risk management. For this reason, reliable tools for flood damage estimation are required for all the categories of exposed elements. Despite infrastructures can suffer high economic losses in case of flood, compared to other exposed sectors, their flood damage modelling is still a challenging task. This is due, on the one hand, to the structural and dynamic complexity of infrastructure networks, and, on the other hand, to the lack of knowledge and data to investigate damage mechanisms and to calibrate and validate damage models. Grounding on the investigation of the state-of-the-art, this paper presents a conceptualization of flood damage to power grids and reviews the methodologies in the field for an in-depth understanding of the existing modelling approaches, challenges, and limitations. The conceptual model highlights: (i) the different kinds of damage (i.e., direct, indirect, and systemic) the network can suffer, (ii) the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability parameters on which they depend, (iii) the spatial and temporal scales required for their assessment, (iv) the interconnections among power grids and economic activities, and (v) the different recipients of economic losses. The development of the model stresses the importance of dividing the damage assessment into two steps: the estimation of damage in physical units and the consequent economic losses in monetary terms. The variety of damage mechanisms and cascading effects shaping the final damage figure arises, asking for an interdisciplinary and multi-scale evaluation approach. The ultimate objective of the conceptual model is to be an operative tool in support of more comprehensive and reliable flood damage assessments to power grids.","PeriodicalId":7329,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geosciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135409946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geothermal waters provide a great resource to generate clean energy,\u0000however, there is a notorious lack of high quality data on these\u0000waters. The scarcity of deep geothermal aquifer information is\u0000largely due to inaccessibility and high analysis costs.\u0000However, multiple operators use geothermal wells in Lower Bavaria and Upper\u0000Austria for balneological (medical and wellness) applications as well\u0000as for heat mining purposes.\u0000The state of the art sampling strategy budgets for a sampling frequency\u0000of 1 year. Previous studies have shown that robust groundwater data\u0000requires sampling intervals of 1–3 months, however, these\u0000studies are based on shallow aquifers which are more likely to be\u0000influenced by seasonal changes in meteorological conditions.\u0000This study set out to assess whether yearly sampling adequately\u0000represents sub-yearly hydrochemical fluctuations in the aquifer by\u0000comparing yearly with quasi-continuous hydrochemical data\u0000at two wells in southeast Germany by assessing mean, trend and\u0000seasonality detection among the high and low temporal resolution\u0000data sets. Furthermore, the ability to produce reliable forecasts\u0000based on yearly data was examined. In order to test the applicability\u0000of virtual sensors to elevate the information content of yearly data,\u0000correlations between the individual parameters were assessed.\u0000The results of this study show that seasonal hydrochemical\u0000variations take place in deep aquifers, and are not adequately\u0000represented by yearly data points, as they are typically gathered\u0000at similar production states of the well and do not show varying\u0000states throughout the year. Forecasting on the basis of\u0000yearly data does not represent the data range of currently\u0000measured continuous data. The limited data availability did not\u0000allow for strong correlations to be determined.\u0000We found that annual measurements, if taken at regular intervals and\u0000roughly the same production rates, represent only a snapshot of the\u0000possible hydrochemical compositions. Neither mean values, trends nor\u0000seasonality was accurately captured by yearly data. This could lead to a violation of stability criteria for mineral water, or to problems in the geothermal operation (scalings, degassing). We thus recommend\u0000a new testing regime of at least 3 samples a year.

Today's cities face simultaneous challenges due to rapidly growing\u0000populations, urban sprawl, climate change, and environmental pollution which\u0000pose a pressure on our traditional urban drinking water supplies. In this\u0000context, stormwater could augment our over-drafted urban groundwater\u0000resources. However, urban stormwater runoff carries a myriad of dissolved\u0000contaminants (e.g., organics, metals, nutrients), which pose a serious risk\u0000to the environmental and public health. Moreover, dissolved contaminants of\u0000urban origin – such as trace metals and organic compounds of emerging\u0000concern – may not be adequately removed by conventional stormwater\u0000treatments. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to fully understand\u0000stormwater contaminant presence, transport, and fate in the built\u0000environment to design novel or improve conventional treatment systems.

The overall objective of the CHENILLE project is to better understand the physical processes resulting from thermal and hydraulic loading in a small fault zone in a highly consolidated shale formation. Consequently, a thermally controlled in-situ fluid injection experiment is intended to be performed on a strike-slip fault zone outcropping at the Tournemire/France Underground Research Laboratory (URL). A heating system has been installed around the injection area to enable a precise and controlled incremental increase of the thermal load. Different monitoring systems are designed to measure the seismic and aseismic deformation induced either by thermal and/or by hydraulic loading. The seismic monitoring system is composed of Acoustic Emission (AE) and broadband seismic sensors enabling monitoring of seismic fracturing processes down to sub-decimetre scale as well as slow deformation processes. Furthermore, we are about to install an injection chamber allowing to perform a controlled gaz injection test. The injection borehole will also be partly equipped with fiber optics in order to measure temperature in a distributed manner in the borehole.

Historic masonry buildings are an integral part of human\u0000cultural heritage, and they need to be preserved for future generations.\u0000Brick is susceptible to frost damage which is common in regions with cold\u0000and humid climates. The frost damage on the masonry walls is accumulated\u0000over the years becoming more and more critical for the integrity of the\u0000historic buildings and it is also affected by climate change (CC). In the current research, the focus was placed on a coastal region in\u0000southern Norway with a significant number of historic masonry buildings. The\u0000frost damage risk of the masonry walls was assessed by using data from a\u0000climate reanalysis for the present conditions and from a climate model under\u0000past, present, and future conditions. Two climate-based (CB) indices\u0000accounting for the air temperature and one material response-based (MRB)\u0000index considering the temperature and moisture content inside a simulated\u0000masonry wall were used for the frost damage risk assessment. The inputs for\u0000the MRB index were calculated by heat, air, and moisture (HAM) transfer\u0000simulations. Within the HAM simulations, the indoor climate was in one case\u0000representative of an unconditioned building with air leakages and many\u0000openings, while in the second case it was representative of a small,\u0000conditioned room. The overall impact of CC was a decrease in the frost damage risk of the\u0000masonry walls.

Moreover, the freeze-thaw events experienced by the masonry walls of\u0000unconditioned, leaky buildings were 20 times more than the ones for the\u0000small, conditioned rooms.

The provision of climate-neutral, sustainable, and independent heat sources is an essential part of the ongoing transformation of heating systems in Germany. The city of Minden, located at the junction of the river Weser and the Middleland Canal, with its strong industrial sector, faces a massive transition of how heat and energy will be provided for industrial processes as well as heating in the commercial and residential sectors. In our study, we evaluate the structural requirements for the exploitation and utilization of deep geothermal energy from regional Mesozoic rocks, which are known to source thermal springs in the greater Minden area, and geothermal projects in other parts of the North German Basin. The compilation of geological data, seismic data, and rock properties from wells is used to construct a regional structural model as well as temperature distributions based on depth uncertainties of the respective stratigraphic units. Our investigations indicate several stratigraphic units ranging from the Middle Jurassic, Keuper, and Muschelkalk to the Middle Bunter at depths greater than 4100 m below mean sea level with suitable temperatures greater than 150 ∘C. Seismic data reveal the presence of faults, which may act as a conduit for thermal waters in the northern part of Minden. Our study also provides a basis for further geothermal exploration and exploitation south of Minden, where an operating geothermal system has already been established in the city of Osnabrück and further north, where the potential reservoirs are located at greater depths as shown by hydrocarbon exploration data. First estimations of the geothermal power output for two selected reservoir horizons yield up to 11.3 and 14.3 MW (10 % probability to yield these or higher values), respectively. We conclude that the subsurface of the inverted part of the Lower Saxony Basin principally fulfills the requirements (formation temperatures) for deep geothermal production not only for residential and commercial use but also for industrial processes.

Here, we present TransPyREnd, a 1D finite-differences code for modeling the transport of radionuclides in the subsurface at geological timescales. The code simulates the processes advection, diffusion, equilibrium sorption, decay of radionuclides, and the build-up of daughter nuclides. We summarize the modeled physical processes, their mathematical description and our numerical approach to solve the governing equations. Finally, two simple tests are shown, one considering diffusion, sorption, and radioactive decay, the other involving diffusion and a radioactive decay chain. In both tests, the code shows good agreement with the reference solutions. Caveats of the model and future additions are discussed.\u0000","PeriodicalId":7329,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Geosciences","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80645549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
