Abstract
The technology of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is a new method of energy conservation using a two-well system, which utilizes the aquifers for the temporary storage of low-grade thermal energy during the summer season and the winter season respectively. Then the water is withdrawn and the seasonal thermal energy is used to meet the demands of space heating and air conditioning accordingly. Because of its effective savings in the consumption of fossil fuel resources, the technology is becoming more widespread. . The ATES technology has been successfully used in Marine Products Incorporated Company's new building extensions in order to maximise the use of stored heating and cooling energy.. Its application to the project will provide valuable data, which will allow for the design of an economic solution.
