Numerical Modeling of a Soil‐Borehole Thermal Energy Storage System

A major challenge facing BTES systems is their relatively low heat extraction efficiency. Annual efficiency is a measure of a thermal energy storage system''s performance, defined as the ratio of the total energy recovered from the subsurface storage to the total energy injected during a yearly cycle (Dincer and Rosen, 2007).Efficiencies for the first 6 yr of

The use of borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) systems

Borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) uses the underground itself as the storage material. Underground in this context can range from unconsolidated material to rock with or without groundwater. The material can contain pores or fractures in the case of hard rock. Depending on the water content of the underground it is called saturated if all

6 FAQs about [Borehole energy storage Nicaragua]

Are borehole thermal energy storage solutions environmentally friendly?

Economic and environmental evaluation of the borehole thermal energy storage. Environmental friendly thermal energy storage (TES) solutions are gaining ground throughout the world.

Can a high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage system be used for incineration?

In a recent study to assess a high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage system (HT-BTES) coupled with an incineration plant in Sweden, pre-investigation works in terms of sub-surface geological and hydrogeological conditions were widely investigated . These parameters were critical for placement and design.

How many boreholes are in a BTES array?

The BTES array comprises a cylindrical array of 144 boreholes to 35 m depth (volume 34,000 m 3 ). Another district heating system at Neckarsulm, Germany, storing summer solar thermal energy at temperatures of up to 80°C in a rock mass, via a BTES system of volume 63,360 m 3 comprising (as of 2006) 528 borehole heat exchangers to depth 30 m [ 22 ].

How much heat does a borehole transfer per metre?

The average heat transfer per metre of borehole has thus dropped from 30.8 W m -1 to 8.6 W m -1.

Is a single borehole array more efficient than a 36-borehole array?

Although the single borehole curves do show a year-on-year trend (as noted above), the trend is very shallow compared with the 36-borehole array “rejection only” and “extraction only” curves, immediately demonstrating that the 36-borehole array is far more efficient at “accumulating” or storing heat and “coolth” than the single borehole.

What is a groundwater filled open-hole borehole (BHE)?

Where hydrogeology and geotechnical considerations allow, groundwater filled open-hole BHE allow free convection cells to develop, resulting in enhanced heat transfer within a BTES and lower borehole thermal resistance, compared with a grout-backfilled borehole.
