21. A method for controlling a thermal output of a geothermal well system, the well system comprising a working fluid therein that is capable of thermal charging from a geological formation, the method comprising:
modulating circulation of said working fluid within said well system to vary thermal output of thermally charged said working fluid both above and below a characteristic potential thermal output capacity of the well system, where the characteristic potential thermal output capacity of the well system is a capacity operating in a baseload thermal output manner with said working fluid flowing at a constant flow rate for a specified timeframe, and where the modulating circulation comprises modulating circulation to produce an average thermal output for the specified time frame equal to or less than said characteristic potential thermal output capacity.
