System and method for monitoring geothermal energy of middle and deep layers
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of geothermal energy monitoring, in particular to a system and a method for monitoring geothermal energy in a middle-deep layer.
Background
The utilization of geothermal resources is an important energy-saving technology, particularly the development and utilization of the geothermal energy in the middle and deep layers are paid more and more attention, and the technology of utilizing a heat exchanger in the geothermal well in the middle and deep layers to exchange the geothermal energy in the middle and deep layers for heat supply without directly exploiting underground water resources becomes an important clean energy heat supply technology for the development and utilization of the geothermal energy in the middle and deep layers. Meanwhile, in the development and utilization of geothermal resources, the measurement method of the water level and the water temperature of the geothermal well is relatively lagged. For example, in the currently common method for manually measuring the water level, a probe connected with a lead at one side is utilized to sink along a well measuring pipe or a shaft to contact the water level, the other end of the lead is connected with an ammeter, the ammeter is connected when the metal probe contacts the water level, and then the depth of the geothermal water level is obtained by measuring the length of the lead; although the method is simple to operate, a large amount of manpower is required to be consumed, and the method cannot be used for measurement in severe weather; other commonly used water level measuring methods include: the pressure sensor is fixed under the well, the pressure signal is transmitted to a ground receiving instrument through a wire, and the dynamic and static water levels of the geothermal well are calculated according to the pressure signal, although the problem of manual field measurement is solved, the probe needs to be placed in geothermal water for a long time, so that the requirements on temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, sealing, magnetic field interference resistance and the like of the probe are high, and the price is high; the method does not need to place a probe underground, but most well heads are not ideal in sealing, gas leakage is very quick, gas cylinders need to be replaced frequently, maintenance is difficult, and when well head equipment maintenance is needed, the gas charging pipe needs to be disassembled, so that the working time of the lifting pump and the descending pump is greatly prolonged and is difficult to accept. In addition, the existing measurement of the geothermal temperature usually comprises the steps of pumping underground water to the ground surface, then measuring and recording the underground water into a system, compared with a manual measurement method, the labor cost is greatly reduced, but the measurement efficiency is low, heat loss is inevitably caused in the underground water pumping process, the water temperature measurement deviation is large, and accurate information of the underground water temperature cannot be controlled in real time.
