1 Geothermal Energy Storage SedHeat Workshop, UTAH March Maurice Dusseault University of Waterloo
2 Energy Storage Everyone talks about batteries, but Cost, space, environmental impacts Let s consider the issue of long-term energy storage at a large scale OPTIONS: Pumped hydro very well understood and used Compressed Air Energy Storage in salt caverns (or porous reservoirs) understood, but not used Geothermal heat storage used in shallow geothermal, but not at a significant scale
3 Where Will Energy Come From? Issues: Regularity Energy storage Vibrations Transmission Location Visual impact
4 Where Will Energy Come From? Issues: Regularity, weather Energy storage Panel area needed Transmission Location
5 Pumped Hydro Sir Adam Beck Niagara-on-the-Lake
6 Compressed Air Energy Storage wind power sun power Heat storage grid CA CA turbine m CA storage Salt cavern, saline aquifer CAES Approach
7 Hydro & CAES The conditions in most of Canada are not suitable for these two options Pumped hydro needs a large reservoir, good vertical drop, excess power being generated nearby during low use phases CAES needs salt caverns or a suitable porous reservoir absent over 85% of Canada Geothermal heat storage??

17 Deep EGS Enhanced Geothermal Systems EGS The Major Issues Cost of deep drilling to access heat because of a low geothermal gradient Fluids from depth cannot be disposed of into rivers or lakes (must be recirculated ) Scaling of pipes in the primary loop must be managed Access to a large enough volume of rock is needed to make it viable Must be at least 20 MW project scale Steady, reliable, no-c, small footprint
18 The EGS Concept From Wikipedia 1 Water lagoon 2 Pump house 3 Heat exchanger 4 Turbine hall 5 Production well 6 Injection well 7 Hot H 2 O to district heating 8 Porous sediments 9 Observation well 10 Crystalline bedrock What V is needed? Geothermie_Prinzip.svg: *Geothermie_Prinzip01.jpg: "Siemens Pressebild"
19 To Implement EGS Has to be deep enough to access elevated temperatures for power + heat In most of Canada, this means depths greater than 4 km Wells must be drilled economically As wide apart as feasible Hydraulically fractured for communication and a binary circulation system used District heating is the major application Minimum MW??

29 Energy Storage & EGS Is it possible to store energy in a geothermal system? The only feasible means seems to be storing energy as heat From where? Here is a concept to be studied Solar energy can be stored as heat And if the time scale is annual, there are definite economic advantages in Canada
30 Parabolic reflector Solar Energy Photovoltaic solar panels are 10-15% efficient (will improve somewhat) Thermal collection can be 70-75% efficient, T > 200 C The problem is: Where do we store the thermal energy? Absorber Tubes Focal point Parabolic reflectors

33 Geothermal - EGS It may be commercially viable, given recent developments, to exploit deep hard rock geothermal systems to Provide reliable consistent energy (power+ heat) Give the possibility of annual-scale heat storage Such a project would be at a scale amenable for communities in the north Space heat + power for all buildings Special things: e.g. greenhouses + bio-leds But the assessments and modeling remain to be done
34 Geomechanics Issues THM coupling in jointed rock masses Highly non-linear joint conductivity Conductive-convective heat transport Strong density effects if SC-CO 2 used (positive ) Channeling through dilated fractures Induced seismicity predictions No good link between MS and RM Incapable of predicting P(Mmax), recurrence Monitoring MS monitoring is not good enough Deformation monitoring is needed for geomechanics Fibre optics, tiltmeters, LIDAR (surface)?
