The use of borehole thermal energy storage systems
For seasonal storage, four main types of TES have been utilized, namely, pit thermal energy storage (PTES), borehole (BTES), aquifer (ATES), and tank (TTES) [2]. While TTES and PTES typically use water as a storage medium, BTES systems use the soil itself [3], and ATES use natural underground aquifers as the storage medium [4].
