An installation including at least one source of geothermal energy for geothermal storage, at least one other energy source, and equipment for converting and distributing energy. The geothermal source includes probes installed in the medium that permit heat exchange between the geothermal medium and a heat-transport fluid passing through the probes. The method involves defining a forecast trajectory (TP) for the temperature of the geothermal medium over time, evaluating the temperature of the geothermal medium, making an adjustment to the thermal power exchanged between the geothermal medium and the heat-transport fluid which on leaving the probe has a temperature (TW), in the direction of making the temperature of the geothermal medium consistent with the forecast trajectory. The mean (TM) of the forecast trajectory (TP) is stable and preferably exhibits, with respect to the ground temperature (TN) a differential causing an annual thermal flux between the natural ground and the medium.
A method for controlling an installation associated with an energy-consuming structure, the installation comprising at least one source of geothermal energy with which thermal storage is carried out, at least one other source of energy (4, CPh, CTh, ATh), items of equipment for transforming and distributing energy in the structure, and a regulating system (AUT, CU), the geothermal source comprising thermal exchange probes installed in a geothermal medium and adapted to allow heat exchange between the geothermal medium and a heat transfer fluid passing through the probes, the method comprising:
