Her keynote speech will highlight the recent advancements in geothermal energy systems and their potential to revolutionize the energy industry.

The Importance of Energy Geotechnics

Energy geotechnics plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of energy-related projects. By understanding the soil behavior and its interaction with energy infrastructure, engineers can optimize design, minimize risks, and ensure the long-term stability and safety of these projects.

For instance, in the case of offshore wind farms, the foundations of wind turbines are subjected to various environmental loads, including wind, waves, and currents. The stability and efficiency of these foundations heavily rely on geotechnical considerations, such as soil characteristics, seabed topography, and seismic activity.

Similarly, in the realm of geothermal energy, the efficient transfer of heat from the underground reservoir to the surface requires careful geotechnical analysis to ensure the effective functioning of the system.
