Abstract
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan (MHI) and POWER Engineers of U.S.A. have recently designed and installed 230 MW of geothermal generation capacity in Asia and Latin America, using a conventional flash system and a “modular” top-exhausting turbine to facilitate fast, economical, and comparatively trouble-free construction. This design approach, demonstrated by the performance of these recent plants, represents the current culmination of a long emphasis by MHI on development of effective geothermal technology for baseload utility use, often in remote locations. The performance of these plants—both electrical and financial—will provide a benchmark for the development of the world's most readily accessible steam-dominated and liquid-documented geothermal resources.
