Storing solar energy in the subsurface as heat is a promising way for energy storage and conversion, which has a great potential to address the temporal and spatial mismatch between energy demand and supply. Thermal energy storage in deep aquifers can convert intermittent solar energy into stable high temperature geothermal energy. In this study, a new solar energy storage and conversion system is proposed where solar energy is firstly converted into heat using parabolic troughs and then stored in deep aquifers by high temperature hot water circulation. The geostatistical modelling and hydro-thermo coupling simulations are adopted to investigate the feasibility and efficiency of solar energy storage in deep aquifers. Specifically, how rock permeability heterogeneity (in terms of autocorrelation length and global permeability heterogeneity) impacts the temporal and spatial evolution of temperature distribution and storage efficiency is examined. The simulation results indicate that increased horizontal autocorrelation length and global heterogeneity may accelerate thermal breakthrough, deteriorating storage efficiency. High permeability heterogeneity may also lead to high injection pressure. Deep aquifers with small horizontal autocorrelation lengths and low global heterogeneity tend to have higher storage efficiency. These findings may improve our understanding of solar energy storage mechanism in deep aquifers and guide field applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
