Optimization of Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Operating
In this paper, the operating parameters of a medium-shallow borehole heat exchanger with depth of 1000 m are optimized for achieving borehole thermal energy storage
View DetailsMedium-deep geothermal storage systems are a specific sort of system that stores surplus heat in the crystalline subsurface. These methods have undergone scrutiny in research endeavours and seek to showcase the practicality of storing heat in the underground for future projects (Green et al., 2021).
Geothermal Energy Storage is explored as a key strategy for large-scale storage of renewable energy. Effective or improved energy conservation is essential as energy needs rise. There has been a rise in interest in using thermal energy storage (TES) systems because they can solve energy challenges affordably and sustainably in various contexts.
The Geothermal Energy Storage concept has been put forward as a possibility to store renewable energy on a large scale. The paper discusses the potential of UTES in large-scale energy storage and its integration with geothermal power plants despite the need for specific geological formations and high initial costs.
Zhang et al. pointed out that the geothermal system in this area is dominated by shallow geothermal energy, sandstone thermal storage and carbonate thermal storage, among which carbonate thermal storage has significant development potential due to high permeability.
Deeper or deep geothermal sources are often used for seasonal or large-scale energy storage. In a deep geothermal storage system, heat is extracted from rocks several kilometers underground. The deep well must be drilled to reach the high-temperature reservoirs .
The medium and deep geothermal energy development technologies include U-shape wells, downhole coaxial heat exchangers, SLGHP and open loop system. Among them, U-shape wells and downhole coaxial heat exchangers are more suitable for the exploitation of medium and low temperature geothermal resources.
