Overview
About the project
The viability and sustainability of geothermal energy development are subject to several reservoir (subsurface) and economic parameter uncertainties. Determining the optimal operational parameters of the geothermal system, in the presence of uncertainty, require hundreds, if not thousands, of permutations of the different uncertain or naturally variable reservoir, operational and economic parameters for any specific hydrothermal system.
The key task of this Techno-economic Uncertainty Quantification and Robust Design Optimization of Hydrothermal and Co2-based Geothermal Systems (Inte rnship) project offered at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) t is to quantify reservoir and economic uncertainties and to examine their effects on the techno-economic performance of the hydrothermal doublet system.

The intern will:
- carry out a literature study to compile a range of relevant subsurface inputs
- build a parameterizable 3D reservoir model for the simulation of the geothermal system
- develop an economic model for geothermal energy development in Saudi Arabia and
- perform numerical simulations for optimization and uncertainty quantification of hydrothermal and CO2-based geothermal systems.
