abstract = {The waste heat generated by high-performance computing
(HPC) represents an opportunity for advancing the
decarbonization of energy systems. Seasonal storage is
necessary to regulate the balance between waste heat
production and demand. High-temperature aquifer thermal
energy storage (HT-ATES) is a particularly well-suited
technology for this purpose due to its large storage
capacity. However, integrating HT-ATES into energy systems
for district heating is complex, affecting existing
components. Therefore, this study applies a bi-objective
mixed-integer quadratically constrained programming (MIQCP)
approach to optimize the energy system at Forschungszentrum
Jülich (FZJ) regarding total annualized costs (TAC) and
global warming impact (GWI). The exascale computer Jupiter,
which is hosted at FZJ, generates a substantial amount of
renewable waste heat that is suitable for integration into
district heating networks and seasonal storage. Case studies
show that HT-ATES integration into the investigated system
can reduce GWI by $20\%$ and increase TAC by $1\%$ compared
to the reference case. Despite increased TAC from
investments and heat pump (HP) operation, summer charging of
the HT-ATES remains flexible and cost-effective. An
idealized future scenario indicates that HT-ATES with a
storage capacity of 16,990 MWh and HPs could cover most of
the heating demand, reducing GWI by up to $91\%$ while TAC
increases by $6\%$ relative to the reference system.},
