Abstract
An initial study has been carried out to determine the most suitable system for recovering power from engineered geothermal systems. When using a binary power plant, account has been taken of the relatively rapid temperature decline of such resources. A simplified idealised analysis shows that the total recoverable power is more or less independent of the type of power plant used but a system that maximises the heat recovery from the brine, in its passage through the primary heat exchanger will yield a much higher initial power output and a much quicker return on the capital invested, than one which is designed to maximise the power plant cycle efficiency.
