Abstract
The technology of aquifer thermal energy storage(ATES) is an energy-saving technology which can provide a solution to energy shortages and resources expasion. The first key point of this technology is whether the aquifer can be use to store energy. In this paper, taking Sanhejian Coal Mine as an example, we choose Quaternary upper loose sandy porosity confined aquifer to bottom clayed glavel porosity confined aquifer as aquifers thermal energy storage, to discuss whether the aquifers can be used to store energy. The simulation results of aquifer temperature field show that the selected aquifers reach the goal of energy storage. And with the same irrigation flow, the lower the temperature, the more the cold water and the larger the low temperature region in aquifers thermal energy storage. With the same irrigation temperature, the lager the irrigation flow the more the cold water and the larger the low temperature region in aquifers thermal energy storage.
