Abstract

At present, commercial geothermal power stations are mainly high-temperature and medium-temperature geothermal energy, while the large number of low-temperature geothermal energy resources are rarely used for power generation applications. This paper proposes a new model for energy conversion in low-temperature geothermal power systems. The basic structure and working principle of this new model are analysed, in detail, a low-temperature geothermal model and a Stirling engine model for geothermal energy conversion are established, and the control strategies on the rotor and stator sides of the Stirling-driven doubly-fed generator are discussed. Finally, the simulation analysis is carried out, and its results show that the thermal conversion efficiency of Stirling’s engine can reach 38%, the output AC voltage of the power generation system reaches the set value 50Hz, 190V, and the DC bus voltage is constant at 300V, which verified the validity of the proposed power generation model and related control strategies. This system expands the range of available heat sources in geothermal power generation, makes geothermal power generation more flexible in terms of site selection, power generation capacity and control, and provides a new idea for geothermal power generation structure.
