Though long (e.g., tens of kilometers) closed-loop geothermal wells are under consideration for the extraction of subsurface heat, these wells might also serve as an efficient energy storage mechanism for electricity generation. Using a semi-analytic model solution, the potential for electric-grade heat storage as a function of ambient temperature (e.g., corresponds to depth of loop), well length, well diameter, and flow rate is evaluated. The following simplified cases for comparison of standard closed loop operation with energy storage operation were considered: [1] constant flow rate and constant temperature (90 °C) injection to represent the standard closed-loop base-case; and [2] constant flow rate and annual cycle sinusoidal temperature (90-150 °C) to represent seasonal (summer) charging while solar resources are peak. Initial temperatures for all scenarios considered herein are a uniform 175 °C. Electric-grade heat is assumed to be delivered whenever temperatures at the extraction point exceed 90 °C. For calculation purposes only, if temperature falls below 100 °C, it is assumed that heat delivered is sub-economic, so no electricity would be produced. For all scenarios, temperatures at the extraction well asymptotically approach the flow-weighted average injection temperature, but energy storage scenarios exhibited a damped time-varying signal that diminishes in magnitude with length of the loop. The asymptotic approach depends on initial temperatures in the rock and the heat extraction rate (a function of well diameter and flowrate). This analysis demonstrates that shorter closed loops can produce more electricity over time than longer closed-loops previously proposed for electricity production over typical engineering design lifetimes (e.g., 30 years). Although only a high-temperature scenario is considered herein, rock that is initially below boiling temperature would not host a standard closed-loop resource, but injection of hot water seasonally would asymptotically heat this low-temperature system to temperatures capable of electricity production. In other words, regardless of initial temperatures, closed loops could be used to store electricity with no critical minerals in the geothermal battery.
