Abstract

Most of the energy demand is currently supplied from fossil fuels, which leads to the accumulation of greenhouse gases and air pollution. A sustainable future can be created globally through the efficient use of renewable energy sources. These sources include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and more. Geothermal energy can meet the energy needs of the future as a clean and reliable source and stands out due to certain distinctive features among renewable energy sources. Unlike other renewable energy sources, geothermal energy is not dependent on time or weather, making it a reliable and continuous energy supply. Additionally, it has a lower environmental impact. This review examines the development of geothermal energy systems and their integration into smart technologies, highlighting the potential of geothermal energy for smart energy systems. The focus is on integrating smart systems into geothermal-based setups to enhance efficiency and analyze the state-of-the-art technologies of such systems. Geothermal-based systems can be classified as single generation, co-generation, multigeneration, smart energy systems, and energy hubs. Consequent to examining systems, it has been concluded that geothermal systems have a huge potential, but unfortunately, not all of them are used due to some difficulties. Its development will occur faster, and its share in the renewable energy sector will grow with smart system integration.
