6 FAQs about [Swedish thermal power storage project]

What is borehole thermal energy storage?

A borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) consists of several densely packed closed-loop borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) employed to create sensible heat storage underground. Increased use of heat recovery and heat storage would increase one of the main bottlenecks of district heating for the usage of this surplus heat (Brange et al. 2017).

Why is thermal energy storage important?

As thermal energy accounts for more than half of the global final energy demands, thermal energy storage (TES) is unequivocally a key element in today’s energy systems to fulfill climate targets. Starting from the age-old TES practices in water and ice, TES has progressed today into many energy systems.

Is xylem a borehole thermal energy storage site?

Xylem in Emmaboda, Sweden, has one of the first borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) sites storing excess heat and has been previously thoroughly studied and monitored. Here, the results from distributed temperature sensing (DTS) measurements in observation boreholes, UB1, 10 m outside the BTES, and UB46, inside the BTES, are presented.

Can a biomass-fueled CHP plant provide high-temperature thermal storage?

The combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants play a central role in many heat-intensive energy systems, contributing for example about 10% electricity and 70% district heat in Sweden. This paper considers a proposed system integrating a high-temperature thermal storage into a biomass-fueled CHP plant.

Should heat be stored in a seasonal thermal storage (hot water)?

A third possibility is to store heat in a seasonal thermal storage (hot water), to be able to use the heat for peak load during the winter. Increased summer heat demand or seasonal heat storage has however not been analyzed. For simplification and clarity, some assumptions were made in energy and exergy considerations.

What are design considerations for borehole thermal energy storage (BTES)?
