6 FAQs about [Groundwater energy storage research]
Why is groundwater important?
Groundwater provides invaluable freshwater for public and private supply, agriculture, industry and recreation across the UK and globally. Maps of groundwater resources for public supply in the UK show the regional variation in reliance on groundwater supplies.
How does groundwater interact with energy?
The interaction of groundwater and energy arises in a variety of ways: it plays a vital role in a number of renewable energy technologies, including deep (high enthalpy) geothermal energy production and shallow (low enthalpy) ground source pumps
Why is the subsurface a risk to groundwater?
the subsurface can be a repository of materials arising from energy production processes, such as radioactive waste from nuclear power generation and carbon dioxide from combustion-powered electricity generation: these pose a risk to groundwater when carried out onshore
Does groundwater increase heat losses?
The short-term PTES had, on average, 15% higher heat losses than the seasonal PTES due to higher storage temperatures. Static groundwater increased the PTES heat losses by 14%, and for moving groundwater, the heat losses were increased by 60% compared to a case without groundwater.
Does groundwater affect PTEs heat loss?
PTES heat losses were unaffected by the presence of groundwater when the groundwater table was 13 m below the bottom of the PTES. The groundwater layer could maintain a temperature lower than 25 °C at a depth of 20 m for seasonal PTES operation while at 30 m for short-term operation.
Can groundwater temperature be maintained below 20 °C?
The groundwater temperature was maintained below 20 °C for the seasonal operation at a groundwater depth of 25 m, whereas this was not possible for the short-term operation. These conclusions can be used primarily in the planning stage of a PTES for choosing a construction location based on geological conditions.
