Abstract

In view of the fact that the cross-seasonal borehole thermal energy storage（BTES） technology can solve the problem of time and space mismatch when waste heat resources are used for heating, the factors affecting the heat storage effect of BTES are summarized. This paper reviews the long-term simulation research of BTES technology, and analyzes its environmental benefits, system efficiency and operation strategies, etc. Two application forms of BTES technology are summarized. Their system composition, operational characteristics and problems existing in each project are respectively expounded, and experiences are summarized for each problem. Finally, the current common problems in BTES are summarized. Prospects for the future development of cross-seasonal heat storage technology in BTES are proposed in terms of design calculation, joint operation and automatic control.
