Low-temperature (LT) (<50 C) Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is a type of geothermal seasonal energy storage that has the potential to deliver large capacity (ca.GW) heating and cooling with high efficiency (ca. 70-90%) and be deployed with other renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. LT-ATES is a key candidate technology for large-scale decarbonisation of heating and cooling in the UK, because there are suitable aquifers beneath numerous large urban and industrial centres. On the other hand, high-temperature ATES (>50 C) has the potential to store large volumes of energy deep underground and may be key to managing future renewable power surpluses and deficits in the future. The aim of this project is to undertake numerical modelling of ATES in the UK and answer important questions such as, 'what fraction of UK demand for heating/cooling could be supplied by LT-ATES?' and 'is HT-ATES viable in the UK?'

低温（LT）（<50 C）含水层热能储存（ATES）是一种地热季节性能源储存，具有提供大容量（约GW）加热和冷却的潜力。70-90%），并与太阳能和风能等其他可再生能源一起部署。LT-ATES是英国供暖和制冷大规模脱碳的关键候选技术，因为许多大型城市和工业中心下方都有合适的含水层。另一方面，高温ATES（>50 ℃）具有在地下深处储存大量能源的潜力，可能是管理未来可再生能源盈余和赤字的关键。该项目的目的是在英国进行ATES的数值模拟，并回答一些重要的问题，例如，“英国供热/制冷需求的哪一部分可以由LT-ATES提供？”以及HT-ATES在英国可行吗？'
