Investigation of the vertical-flow aquifer thermal energy storage concept and numerical simulation of the Dorigny field experiment
Abstract
A mathematical modeling study of the vertical-flow aquifer thermal energy storage concept is made. A history match calculation of the Dorigny field experiment, part of the SPEOS project, is carried out using two simplified models. Then the main heat-loss mechanisms are isolated to study their relative importance. Finally, variations on the Dorigny experimental configuration are studied to examine the behavior of the vertical-flow storage system in general.
