Working on flexible geothermal energy systems naturally raises the question of how to assess and compare different potential solutions.
This challenge is addressed in our recent paper by Leopold Riedl and his colleagues, who developed a transferable framework for evaluating flexibility in district heating and cooling systems. A wide range of KPIs has been analyzed and will also be applied in our project to assess FlexGeo’s innovative flexible geothermal solutions.
Key contributions:
- A comprehensive set of flexibility and system performance KPIs for electrified DHC systems
- Context-adaptable benchmarking thresholds enabling cross-system comparison
- Applied to a Norwegian case study, showing how the framework captures system-specific flexibility patterns across diverse policy and climate scenarios

Stay tuned as we continue to share our progress and insights on how FlexGeo contributes to advancing flexible, efficient and sustainable geothermal energy solutions.
