6 FAQs about [Solar underground thermal storage system]

What is underground thermal energy storage?

Rajandrea Sethi, in Encyclopedia of Energy Storage, 2022 The expression Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES) identifies shallow geothermal systems where heat from external sources (solar thermal collectors, industrial processes, combined heat and power systems) is stored seasonally into the ground to be used during periods of higher demand.

Are solar energy storage systems underground?

The experience of USTES applications worldwide in recent years shows that most of the solar energy seasonal storage projects have significant economic, social and environmental benefits. However, the key part of solar energy storage system is underground.

What is the difference between ground source heat pump and underground thermal energy storage?

In ground source heat pump systems the heat exchange between energy geostructures and the surrounding ground should be maximised. In contrast in underground thermal energy storage systems the heat exchange between energy geostructures and the surrounding ground should be minimised to preserve heat storage.

What is underground heat storage?

Ibrahim Dincer, Marc A. Rosen, in Exergy Analysis of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning, 2015 Underground heat storage, or underground thermal energy storage (UTES), has storing temperature range from around 0 °C to up to 40-50 °C. This operating temperature range is suitable for heating and cooling applications in HVAC.

What type of storage medium is used for thermal energy storage?

The storage medium typically used for this method of thermal energy storage is water. Boreholes are man-made vertical heat exchangers that work to transfer heat between the energy carrier and the ground layers. Conversely, aquifers and underground caverns or pits are natural storage spaces for thermal energy.

How does a thermal energy storage system work?

In this thermal energy storage system, rocks, soil, sand, and clay are used as storage areas. Pipes are placed to change the temperature of the thermal energy storage area. Heat transfer fluid is pumped into these drill pipes and the desired temperature is achieved.
