Geohydrologic aspects of aquifer thermal energy storage
Conference

OSTI ID:5589603
Investigation of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) technology indicates that it is a cost-effective, fuel-conserving technique for provisions of thermal energy for residential, commercial and industrial uses. Most of the existing methods and techniques for measuring geohydrologic elements important to ATES are satisfactory. Small-scale field tests have been successfully demonstrated, and larger scale demonstration projects are in progress. With a suitable institutional framework, ATES promises to provide a significant portion of the nation's future thermal energy.
