What are underground energy storage systems?

This paper clarifies the framework of underground energy storage systems, including underground gas storage (UGS), underground oil storage (UOS), underground thermal storage (UTS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES), and the global development of underground energy storage systems in porous media is systematically reviewed.

What are the five underground large-scale energy storage technologies?

In this work, the characteristics, key scientific problems and engineering challenges of five underground large-scale energy storage technologies are discussed and summarized, including underground oil and gas storage, compressed air storage, hydrogen storage, carbon storage, and pumped storage.

What is deep underground energy storage?

Deep underground energy storage is the use of deep underground spaces for large-scale energy storage, which is an important way to provide a stable supply of clean energy, enable a strategic petroleum reserve, and promote the peak shaving of natural gas.

What is underground thermal energy storage?

Underground Thermal Energy Storage (UTES) A thermal energy storage is a system that can store thermal energy by cooling, heating, melting, solidifying or vaporizing a material , such as hot-water, molten-salt or a phase-change material. Sensible heat storage (SHS) relies on the temperature variation of a solid or liquid (e.g. water).

What is large-scale underground energy storage?

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2011, 15 (1): 839-844. <p>Large-scale underground energy storage technology uses underground spaces for renewable energy storage, conversion and usage. It forms the technological basis of achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

Why is it important to develop an underground energy storage system?

Therefore, it is urgent to improve the efficient utilization of renewable energy represented by wind energy and solar energy and to construct an underground energy storage system, which is an important direction for promoting the implementation of the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy and the transition to low-carbon energy.
