On the Thermal Activation of Turin Metro Line 2 Tunnels
The Turin metro Line 2 will extend for nearly 28 km and include 26 stations. It will connect the SW suburbs of the city to the NE ones. The excavation will be performed by means of TBM and Cut & Cover techniques and, once concluded, will host a fully automated driverless light metro. This paper will describe the feasibility study carried out to assess the energy potential of the thermal activation of the line by using an innovative tunnel lining segment (ENERTUN) recently patented and tested in real operating conditions. A novel methodology was adopted, involving thermo-hydraulic 3D FE numerical analyses to identify the geothermal potential for the different sections of the line. A study of the possible collectors for the thermal energy produced was also performed considering the planned stations, the existing buildings and the future urban developments.
