Abstract
The paper presents economically evaluated solutions for heating greenhouses
with geothermal potential, if the same greenhouse is placed in two different
locations in Southeastern Europe, one in Slovenia and the other in Serbia.
The direct geothermal water exploitation using heat exchangers is presented
and the remaining heat potential of already used geothermal water is
exploited using high temperature heat pumps. Energy demands for heating
greenhouses are calculated considering climatic parameters of both locations.
Furthermore, different constructions materials are taken into account, and
energy demands are evaluated if the same greenhouse is made of 4 mm toughened
single glass, double insulated glass or polycarbonate plates. The results
show that the geothermal energy usage is economically feasible in both
locations, because payback periods are in range from two to almost eight
years for different scenarios.
