As a renewable energy technology, ground source heat pump (GSHP) system is high efficient for space
heating and cooling in buildings. Thermal energy storage (TES) technology facilitates the efficient utilization
of renewable energy sources and energy conservation. It is expected to be more prevalent in the
future. GSHP application is growing rapidly as it is integrated with TES system. During the last decade, a
number of investigators have conducted the studies on the designing, modeling and testing of TES
assisted GSHP (GSHPeTES) system. This paper presents a review on the research and applications of
GSHP integrated with TES system, including various cooling and heating storage technologies. The
studies on the GSHPeTES systems are categorized into five groups including: GSHP integrated with ice
storage tank, GSHP integrated with solar collectors, GSHP integrated with soil, GSHP integrated with
water tank and GSHP integrated with phase change materials (PCM). However, there are still several
challenges for the applications of GSHPeTES systems, such as the mechanisms, thermodynamics and
performance of the unsteady and transient heat transfer of underground soil and the thermal storage
process as well as control strategies of the GSHPeTES systems. Addressing these problems will
strengthen the theoretical and practical understandings and facilitate more extensive applications of
GSHPeTES systems
