"Transforming the underground into a huge source of renewable energies by controlling induced seismicity"
Earth's underground presents a remarkable potential for renewable energy production and storage. Yet, a challenge stands in the way – human-induced earthquakes caused by fluid injection deep in the Earth's crust. In this concise article, I outline recent progress in order to prevent unwanted seismicity by leveraging tools from the mathematical theory of control.
These new developments offer fresh insights for maximizing the production and storage of renewable energy, all while minimizing induced seismicity even under intermittent demand.
