Abstract

If it is impossible to exploit a suitable aquifer for energy storage, a borehole thermal energy storage system (BTES) can be considered. Vertical ground heat exchangers (GHE), also called borehole heat exchangers (BHE) are widely used when there is a need to install sufficient heat exchange capacity under a confined surface area such as where the Earth is rocky close to the surface, or minimum disruption of the landscape is desired.
