Abstract :
[en] Energy storage is a key component to face the intermittence of renewable energy and achieve decarbonization of the electricity grid by 2050. In this regard, this paper assesses the potential of seasonal energy storage in flooded underground mines. The analysis is based on a case study of a slate mine in Martelange, southern Belgium. The models presented assess the heating and cooling energy demands of a complex of 50 apartments. The study site comprises a photovoltaic plant, which supplies a water-to-water Heat Pump (HP), that is used to heat an underground cavern of 6840 m3 flooded with water, while an adjacent cavern of 80000 m3 is used as a cold reservoir. The hot cavern is charging during the summer period, reaching a maximum temperature of 55°C, and discharging in winter until 40 °C. The District Heating Network (DHN) is modelled to transport the hot water to each apartment where a buffer tank is used to reheat the water by a secondary HP for Domestic Heat Water. The system has been modelled in Dymola and simulated for 4 years with a step time of 15 minutes. The study case can cover 76.7% of the total building heating demand throughout the DHN, within a COP of 2.86. These results underline the potential of reusing mine caverns for robust energy storage solutions, promoting a shift towards renewables and establishing opportunities for interconnected multi-system grids.
