“…TRTs are now performed worldwide for both commercial and research purposes (IEA ECES Annex 21, 2013;Spitler & Gehlin, 2015;Witte, 2016;Zhang et al, 2014). Several developments of the TRT method have been undertaken since Mogensen's initial proposal, including: Distributed Thermal Response Tests (DTRTs) through the use of fiber optic cables (Acuña, 2013;Fujii et al, 2009;Radioti et al, 2018;Sakata et al, 2018), wireless sensors (Martos et al, 2010) or wired sensors (Acuña, 2008;Aranzabal et al, 2016;Yu et al, 2013) accounting for groundwater flow on the thermal response (Molina-Giraldo et al, 2011;Raymond et al, 2011;Rivera et al, 2015;Witte, 2007) using different methods to calculate the average fluid temperature (Beier, 2011;Beier et al, 2012;Beier & Spitler, 2016;Lamarche et al, 2017;Marcotte & Pasquier, 2008) modified control strategies or methodologies (Choi & Ooka, 2017;Raymond et al, 2015;Rolando, 2015;Rolando et al, 2017;Witte et al, 2002) estimation of uncertainties (Witte, 2013) definition of a criterion for the test duration (Poulsen & Alberdi-Pagola, 2015).…”
