Simulation study of the Lower Cretaceous geothermal reservoir for aquifer thermal energy storage.

The aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) has gained attention in several countries as an installation for increasing the energy efficiency of geothermal systems and the use of waste heat. The Lower Cretaceous reservoir is known as one of the most prospective for geothermal purposes in Poland. However, in the southern part of the Mogilno-Łódź Trough (Central Poland) is considered to have a lower geothermal potential.
