“…Although ATES systems have no net extraction because groundwater is injected back into the aquifer from which it was extracted, perturbations in the groundwater flow pattern can be noticeable up to a distance of several kilometers (Ferguson 2006). This situation can have a direct impact on the size and location of the capture zone of a groundwater well (Fig.…”

ABSTRACT. We present an overview of the risks that underground thermal energy storage (UTES) can impose on the groundwater system, drinking water production, and the subsurface environment in general. We describe existing policy and licensing arrangements for UTES in the Netherlands, as well as the capability of the current and future Dutch policy and legal framework to minimize or mitigate risks from UTES on groundwater resources. A survey at the European Union member state level indicates that regulation and research on the potential impacts of UTES on groundwater resources and the subsurface environment often lag behind the technological development of and ever-growing demand for this renewable energy source. The lack of a clear and scientifically underpinned risk management strategy implies that potentially unwanted risks might be taken at vulnerable locations such as near well fields used for drinking water production, whereas at other sites, the application of UTES is avoided without proper reasons. This means that the sustainability of UTES as a form of renewable energy is currently not fully understood, and the technology may be compromising the natural resilience of the subsurface environment. We recognize three main issues that should be addressed to secure sustainable application of UTES: Scientific research is required to further elucidate the impacts of UTES on groundwater; cross-sectoral subsurface planning is required to minimize negative conflicts between UTES and other subsurface interests; and EU-wide guidelines and standards are required for quality assurance and control when installing UTES systems.

“…It is proved, for instance, by local factors including the geology, the climate, the geothermal gradient that explains the temperature increase with working setting, depth, and building factors comprising the heating system, e.g., in‐floor heating or radiators . Numerous simulation techniques are existing to support multiple or single GSHP planning and for in‐depth analysis of GSHP performance . The SPF is a degree of energy efficiency and consequently controls the GHG emissions throughout system process.…”

Owing to the eye‐catching pros of high energy and environmental performances, numerous ground‐source heat pump (GSHP) systems have been employed in domestic and industrial buildings throughout the world. One of the proved renewable energy technologies is the GSHPs which is able to fulfill the gap between cooling and heating. The main contribution of this article is to present a fully description and critical review of the GSHP systems along with their current developments. At first, the energy efficiency and working standard of a heat pump are introduced. Furthermore, an expansive description of the GSHPs and its advances, and a fully explanation of the ground‐couplet (GCHP) heat pumps, ground‐water (GWHP), and surface water (SWHP) are provided. The mainly representative ground thermal response examination approaches and simulation for the vertical ground heat exchangers presently existing are reviewed counting the heat transfer progressions inside and outside the holes. Similarly, various info regarding a different GWHP by a heat exchanger with different structures, and the opportunity to gain the enhanced energy efficiency with joint cooling and heating using GCHP are explained. The numerous hybrid GCHP systems for heating or cooling‐dominated constructions are appropriately illustrated. It can be deduced that the GSHP technology can be employed both in hot and cold weather areas and the potential of energy saving is noteworthy. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1241–1265, 2018
