The Portland Basin is a prime location to assess the feasibility of DDU-TES because natural geologic conditions provide thermal and hydraulic separation from overlying aquifers that would otherwise sweep away stored heat. Under the Portland Basin, the lower Columbia River Basalt G...

Groundwater Chemistry data for the Portland Basin was compiled from published literature, as well as state and federal groundwater quality reports. Mineralogies were identified based on previous literature, as well as XRD and SEM analysis conducted at Portland State University. Up...

Included in this dataset is a spreadsheet with the primary fault information used in the basin model, a spreadsheet with earthquake magnitude estimates, and a figure showing location of faults and microseismicity in the Portland Basin

This report presents a preliminary assessment of the technical feasibility of utilizing underground thermal energy storage (UTES) and electric-driven heat pumps (EDHPs) to enable flexible behind-the-meter electric demand of buildings while meeting their thermal demands in an energ...

This is a link to the open access, published dataset and modeling that supports a feasibility study of Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage (RTES) in the Portland Basin, Oregon, USA. Citation: Burns, E.R., 2020, SUTRA model used to evaluate Saline or Brackish Aquifers as Reservoirs f...

Grid-scale energy storage has been identified as a needed technology to support the continued build-out of intermittent renewable energy resources. As of April 2017, the U.S. had approximately 24.2 GW of energy storage on line, compared to 1,081 GW of installed generation capacity...

This project assessed the technical viability of a process called GeoCAES. The process stores electrical energy by injecting natural gas into shale gas formations using a compressor, storing it, and producing it through an expander to generate electricity. This data submission inc...

This is the modeling data (input/output files of TOUGHREACT 4.10) used to simulate the reactive transport processes of the Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) operations at Stockton University, NJ. Readme.txt lists all the files. TOUGHREACT 4.10 requires to reproduce the modelin...

Final report for the DOE GTO funded research on geologic thermal energy storage (GeoTES), or commonly known as reservoir thermal energy storage (RTES). The results described in this report shed light on various aspects of RTES including project siting, operational performance, m...

Simulation input and output files, post-processed figures and excel tables, and tecplot layout files for generating figures. These simulations were run with TOUGHREACT V4.12 by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2021. This work was completed as part of the geologic thermal e...
