Thermal Energy Storage in Borehole Heat Exchanger Arrays

Soil-borehole thermal energy storage (SBTES) systems function in a similar way to ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems, where fluid is circulated through a closed-loop pipe network installed in vertical boreholes in order to shed or absorb heat from the surrounding subsurface. Different from GSHP systems, SBTES systems are configured to store heat collected from solar thermal panel
