Assessment of the usability of OpenGeoSys tools for Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) simulations

Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is an energy efficient technology to temporarily store groundwater of different temperatures in an aquifer. The basic idea behind ATES is to store thermal energy in warm and cold wells so that the energy can be used for heating and cooling of buildings in the next season. Design and planning of ATES systems...
