The objective of the current study is to assess the technical performance of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) based on the monitoring data from 73 Dutch ATES systems. With a total abstraction of 30.4 GWh heat and 31.8 GWh cold per year, the average annual amount of supplied thermal energy was measured as 932.8 MWh.
Deep underground energy storage is the use of deep underground spaces for large-scale energy storage, which is an important way to provide a stable supply of clean energy, enable a strategic petroleum reserve, and promote the peak shaving of natural gas.
• However, for both above-ground and underground closedloop - projects using groundwater, impacts to geology and soils and groundwater could generally be higher than those of openloop.- Closed-loop projects using …
The development of various STES technologies has been extensively studied from a technical perspective. Xu et al. [7] presented a fundamental review on SHS, LHS, and THS, focusing on storage materials, existing projects, and future outlook.Guelpa and Verda [8] investigated the implementation of STES incorporated with district heating …
Energy storage systems are required to increase the share of renewable energy. Closed mines can be used for underground energy storage and geothermal generation. Underground closed mines can be used as lower water reservoir for UPHES. CAES systems store energy in the form of compressed air in an underground reservoir.
In a technology known as Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES), energy sources charge a subsurface store for use at a later season. An example is the use of winter''s cold to charge a store which will be used in summer to cool a building. Similarly, solar energy can be stored in summer for use in winter.

ATES is an innovative open-loop geothermal technology. It relies on seasonal storage of cold and/or warm groundwater in an aquifer. The technology was developed in Europe over 20 years ago and is now in use at over 1,000 sites, mostly in The Netherlands and Scandinavia. ATES is essentially unheard of in the US, with the exception of the ATES ...
Research progress of seasonal thermal energy storage technology based on supercooled phase change materials Weisan Hua, ...Jiahao Zhu, in Journal of Energy Storage, 20232.1.2 Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) In aquifer thermal energy storage, geological strata serve as the storage medium and groundwater serves as the heat …
High-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) systems can help in balancing energy demand and supply for better use of infrastructures and resources. The aim of these systems is to store high amounts of heat to be reused later. HT-ATES requires addressing problems such as variations of the properties of the aquifer, thermal …
The Groundwater technology theme develops tools for the monitoring and control of aquifers and wells to cope with the issues described above. These tools are not only applicable for drinking water production from groundwater, but also for Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) systems and remediation sites. These tools include distributed ...
The most frequently used storage technology, which makes use of the underground, is Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage. This technology uses a natural underground layer (e.g. a sand, sandstone, or chalk layer) as a storage medium for the temporary storage of heat or cold. In ATES, groundwater is pumped from an aquifer for addition or extraction of ...
But both of those technologies right now are coming in at a range of about $400-$500 per kilowatt-hour, and that''s the cost of the storage aspect of the battery system. Our goal at Quidnet is to be under $50 per kilowatt-hour for the entire system. The reason we can do that is that it''s relatively inexpensive to drill a 2,000ft hole, and ...
Further savings are obtained by the absence of insulation toward the ground, although this makes the ground-storage thermal interaction more pronounced than other storage technologies. However, it remains unclear how the different operation strategies affect the ground temperature and heat losses, especially in cases where …
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly being considered by water and wastewater utilities to capture the full energy potential of onsite distributed energy resources (DERs) and achieve cost savings. As new BESS technologies emerge, however, questions about applications, economy of scale, cost-benefits, reliability, maintenance ...

Borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) is an important technology in storing surplus heat and the efficiency of such systems can be strongly influenced by groundwater flow. In this paper, the effect of groundwater flow on a single deep borehole heat exchanger (DBHEs) was modelled using OpenGeoSys (OGS) software to test the …
1. Introduction Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important technology to reduce CO 2 emissions from electricity and industrial sectors, as well as to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere. Depending on the origin of CO 2, there are different technologies to realize CCS., there are different technologies to realize CCS.
