Abstract[English]
This invention provides constructed utility-scale underground hot water storage (USUHWS) systems to enable renewable energy sources to produce power or supply heat reliably and continuously with minimized interruption and impact by weather conditions. In combination. with renewable-energy-based thermal power plants, said USUHWS systems could have the potential to phase out most fossil fuels for power production and heat uses. The USUHWS systems could retain the thermal energy content of the stored hot water for a long time so that renewable energy can be extracted and stored at any time and in any season and be used whenever needed.[French]
La présente invention concerne des systèmes de stockage d'eau chaude souterraine en réseau (USUHWS) construits servant à permettre à des sources d'énergie renouvelable de produire de l'énergie ou de fournir de la chaleur de manière fiable et continue avec une interruption et un impact minimisés par les conditions météorologiques. En combinaison, avec des centrales thermiques à base d'énergie renouvelable, lesdits systèmes USUHWS pourraient avoir le potentiel d'éliminer progressivement la plupart des combustibles fossiles destinés aux utilisations de production d'énergie et de chaleur. Les systèmes USUHWS peuvent conserver la quantité d'énergie thermique de l'eau chaude stockée pendant une longue période de telle sorte que l'énergie renouvelable peut être extraite et stockée à tout moment et dans n'importe quelle saison et être utilisée chaque fois que cela est nécessaire.
