Community Resilience through Low-Temperature Geothermal Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage
Submitted data include simulations related to underground thermal battery (UTB) simulations described in Modeling and efficiency study of large scale underground thermal battery deployment, presented at GRC, October 2021.
The UTB is comprised of a tank of water, a helical heat exchanger in the center of tank and connected to a water source heat pump, and a phase change material (PCM). Compared to a conventional VBGHE, the UTB is designed to be installed at a much shallower depth, therefore, with a cheaper cost. In addition, the GSHP efficiency is improved due to natural convection of water and additional load capacity provided by PCM. The goal of this study is to explore factors that may affect the efficiency of large-scale UTB deployment. The simulations found in this submission relate to the report on UTB deployment.
