Step 1: Single Heat Plume

DOI

This dataset serves as training data for modeling the temperature field emanating from open-loop groundwater heat pumps.

The dataset was simulated in 2D with Feflow using cut-outs from interpolated hydrogeological measurements of the Munich, Germany, region. Heat pump locations are chosen based on realistic positions, and extraction rates are adapted to fit the available groundwater. To prepare the data for machine learning, it was transformed from unstructured to structured data (320x1280 cells) with Python. Inputs include hydrogeological parameters such as hydraulic conductivity [m/d], hydraulic head [m a.s.l.], aquifer thickness [m], and Darcy velocities [m/d], as well as 2D-embedded operational pump parameters such as maximum flow rate [m^3/d]. All hydrogeological parameters were extracted prior to heat pump operation. Heat pumps are operated under seasonal load as depicted in general/normed_flow_injection_series.npy and general/temperature_injection_series.npy. The former contains the normalized flow rates of the heat pumps, while the latter contains the corresponding injection temperatures.

The prepared data is split into training and test data. For training data, each datapoint consists of a set of inputs and labels; for test data, the labels are hidden. The summarized min and max values for normalization are contained in general/normalization_info.yaml. The order of inputs is specified by index in the info-yaml.
