From Simulation to Site: Bridging the Geothermal Knowledge Gap with HPC and AI
DID YOU KNOW?
Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS) have the potential to harness geothermal energies in regions where Conventional Hydrothermal Systems (CHS) would be impossible.
Wednesday, October 29
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Panel Description: This intriguing panel unites two pivotal themes in geothermal innovation: the deployment of AI to accelerate adoption, education, and operational insight, and the use of high-performance computing (HPC) for advanced geothermal modeling and simulation. Participants will come away with a comprehensive understanding of how AI and HPC can collaboratively drive geothermal energy forward—both in terms of broad adoption and deep system understanding. The panel will discuss practical examples, highlight emerging tools like digital twins, and promote dialogue on overcoming current limitations.
