Control-oriented modeling of geothermal borefield thermal dynamics through Hammerstein-Wiener models

Geothermal energy is considered a clean and sustainable form of renewable energy, that can be exploited directly or indirectly by means of specific devices. Ground-coupled heat pumps are widely used systems to obtain this energy. Control of ground-coupled heat pump systems, where thermal energy is extracted or injected from and to a geothermal borefield, is important for optimal geothermal energy use in the building sector and smart grids....
