Abstract

The paper presents a methodology for choosing geometrical parameters of a Seasonal Thermal Energy Storagefacility (STES) on its thermal capacity. The STES is placed in both the ground under ground and connected toand solar panels. A number of scenarios were investigated to find an adequate geometrical proportions of theSTES (for constant tank size and solar panel area.) The results obtained show that the use of various STESgeometries could reduce heat accumulation to 30% depending on the architecture solution chosen.
