Abstract

The Philippines is amongst the countries located in the ring of fire, thus makes it rich in geothermal energy. The Department of Energy is considering the low-temperature resource for power generation to address the continuous increase in electricity demand. The binary plants designed by Ormat technologies are currently in use for power production for the Philippine low-temperature heat source. Another technology used for the low-temperature heat source is the Kalina power cycle. In this paper, both cycles are evaluated using the parameters from the Mabini, Batangas geothermal resource, and principles of thermoeconomics are applied to determine the performance of the two cycles under Philippine conditions.
