AQUASTOR: A computer model for cost analysis of aquifer thermal energy storage coupled with district heating or cooling systems
Abstract
This paper discusses the capabilities and structure of the computer simulation model AQUASTOR. The model optimizes system design and calculates the life-cycle cost of an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system coupled to a district heating (cooling) system. AQUASTOR has the flexibility to simulate a wide range of system configurations, with a large number of technical and economic parameters available for defining the energy storage and distribution systems. The model combines the technical characteristics of storage and distribution systems with financial and tax conditions for the entities operating the two systems into one techno-economic model. This provides the flexibility to individually or collectively evaluate the impact of different economic and technical parameters, assumptions, and uncertainties on the cost of providing district heating (cooling) with an ATES system.
