Research on a thermally loaded rock - perspectives of underground thermal energy storage

Grant No.: FR-TI3/325	Grant Agency: Minister of Industry and Trade
Resolved in: 2011 - 2014
Principal investigator: Mgr. Jan Franěk, PhD., Czech Geological Survey	Co-investigators: Ing. Milan Brož, CSc., Department of Seismotectonics, IRSM AS CR, v.v.i. Mgr. Michal Vaněček, ISATech, s.r.o. Ing. Jiří Záruba, ARCADIS Geotechnika, a.s. Ing. Dr. Miroslav Černík, CSc., Faculty of Mechatronics, Informatics and Interdisciplinary Studies, Technical University of Liberec
Description: Granites are attractive host-rocks for gas reservoirs, storing of dangerous waste and recently also energy storage in form of heat. The last application is main topic of the proposed project. The safety and utilisability depend on quantitative parameters like rock compactness, long-term stability or homogeneity. The project aims to research an influence of heat load on the stability and permeability of the affected rock mass, influence of an EDZ zone on these parameters and extrapolation of surface research to the storage depths. Original will be also the use of functionalized geopolymers with high thermal conductivity. The project involves literature study, laboratory research, specialized geological mapping, 3-years experiment, modeling, interpretation of results, development of measuring techniques and submission of new methodics. The results will be used for planning and safety assessment of underground facilities intended for storage of energy or dangerous waste in geological environment.
