Modelling and optimization of thermal energy storage
Shallow geothermal reservoirs are excellent candidates for heat batteries, providing constant discharge of base heat, as well as rapid discharge of heat in periods of high demand. Recharging can be done by pumping down hot water from e.g., waste incineration. Such systems have a low carbon footprint, require limited surface infrastructure, and can easily be…
