From Simulation to Site: Bridging the Geothermal Knowledge Gap with HPC and AI
DID YOU KNOW?
Geothermal heat pump systems use 25%-50% less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems.
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.
