What is underground thermal energy storage?

Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES) A thermal energy storage is a system that can store thermal energy by cooling, heating, melting, solidifying or vaporizing a material , such as hot-water, molten-salt or a phase-change material. Sensible heat storage (SHS) relies on the temperature variation of a solid or liquid (e.g. water).

What are electric energy storage technologies?

Electric energy storage technologies, involving the use of geological reservoirs offer large storage capacities and discharge rates , bringing all the advantages of a large-scale energy storage system while minimising environmental and social impacts, and the need for surface space. 3. UNDERGROUND ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES

What are the different types of underground energy storage technologies?

For these different types of underground energy storage technologies there are several suitable geological reservoirs, namely: depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, porous aquifers, salt formations, engineered rock caverns in host rocks and abandoned mines.

Why is the underground a good place to store thermal energy?

The underground is suitable for thermal energy storage because it has high thermal inertia, i.e. if undisturbed below 10-15 m depth, the ground temperature is weakly affected by local above ground climate variations and maintains a stable temperature [76, 77, 78].
