DESCRIPTION:Deep geothermal energy is the heat resource generated and stor
 ed over 3km deep in the earth. For the utilization of deep geothermal ener
 gy\, the direct heat use from Hot Sedimentary Aquifer (HSA) systems is the
  easiest gain because it can be achieved with existing technologies and av
 oids poor conversion efficiency when converted to electricity. A city-scal
 e deep geothermal simulation tool is developed in the project. \nThe tool 
 can examine the potential of the deep geothermal energy at city scale\, ob
 tain the subsurface temperature distribution in a city\, predict the life 
 span of the geothermal system for a given abstraction rate and suggest a p
 roper abstraction rate to ensure the sustainability of the deep geothermal
  system. Then the capability of the developed tool will be tested on Beiji
 ng\, China.\n
