During off-peak power or cheap electricity periods, cold energy is produced by refrigeration, air conditioning, and other systems, and then stored in a cold storage unit to be released during on-peak periods [15], [16], [17].
Global air conditioning capacity is expected to grow from 1.6 billion to 5.6 billion units by 2050, resulting in a nearly tripled energy demand for building cooling/heating [2]. Additionally, air conditioning primarily operates during daytime hours, creating an electric load imbalance between daytime (on-peak) and nighttime (off-peak) periods.
The energy flow density of soil is small, 20–40W/m 2, generally 25W/m 2. This determines that when the soil is only used as the low-level heat source of the heat pump, its load should not be too large. Generally, it is only used when the load is no more than 1 MW. In addition, ground source heat pump has certain area requirements.
