Likewise, to fulfill space heating demand in the winter season, heat energy available in the earth''s subsurface can be stored and supplied to dwelling spaces (Soni et al., 2015).

ATES is essentially unheard of in the US, with the exception of the ATES
ABSTRACT. The utilization of thermal energy storage (TES) devices allows for the storing of heat and cold for later usage. When there is an imbalance between the production and use of energy, TES can aid in its effective use and provision. Additionally, the supply and consumption of energy throughout the day and night may be balanced using TES
