English translation:Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES)
Explanation:
straight from tecdic.

WKO
warmte koude opslag, duurzaam energie systeem. Opslag van warmte en koude in een ondergrondse watervoerende laag. hiermee kan bijv. een gebouw gekoeld of verwarmd worden.

ATES
Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage, sustainable energy system. An ATES system uses aquifers (underground water-bearing formations) to store heat and cold and the groundwater as a heat carrier.

disagree  Michael Beijer: I don't think this is correct. Heat & cold storage might take the form of an ATES system, but it needn't necessarily. ATES might not be general enough to capture the asker's meaning. / Not necessarily technology specific to an ATES system
27 mins
  -> What meaning might that be? / Ah, ok. I assumed Rik came to Proz seeking more than menial, non industry-specific input on something that just as easily could have been conjured up verbatim or spat out by GT. Perhaps -A?

thermal energy storage (TES) system


Explanation:
GWIT:

WKO [ENERG.] (warmte- en koudeopslag bij energiesystemen) =
TES, thermal energy storage system, thermal reservoir system

===========================

‘Thermal energy storage (TES) is achieved with widely differing technologies. Depending on the specific technology, it allows excess thermal energy to be stored and used hours, days, or months later, at scales ranging from the individual process, building, multiuser-building, district, town, or region.’

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage )

===========================

‘Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. This paper is focused on TES technologies that provide a way of valorizing solar heat and reducing the energy demand of buildings. The principles of several energy storage methods and calculation of storage capacities are described. Sensible heat storage technologies, including water tank, underground, and packed-bed storage methods, are briefly reviewed. Additionally, latent-heat storage systems associated with phase-change materials for use in solar heating/cooling of buildings, solar water heating, heat-pump systems, and concentrating solar power plants as well as thermo-chemical storage are discussed. Finally, cool thermal energy storage is also briefly reviewed and outstanding information on the performance and costs of TES systems are included.’
