Heat pumps in underground seasonal energy storage systems.

Author(s) : SANNER B., KNOBLICH K.

Summary

In the last years, a new operation field has opened for heat pumps. Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) are designed for building heating and cooling. The paper shows realized examples and future potential of UTES in combination with heat pumps. The size range of existing plants is from some 10 kilowatts to some megawatts, and small package heat pumps are in use in those applications as well as large custom-build ones. UTES can primarily play an important role in building cooling and in storing waste heat, as from cogeneration plants in summertime. Some large aquifer storage projects, including the Berlin Reichstag building, are of particular interest.
