Technical Performance Optimization of a Novel Geothermal Hybrid Power Generation System

Geothermal Aided Power Generation (GAPG) technology is a geothermal hybrid power system that energy has been integrated into the fossil fired plant to preheat feedwater, and displace extraction steam of plant. In such system, heat exchange process between geo-fluid occurs in between. When exchanger quench lower temperature for transfer purpose, silica scaling would occur system. The performance GAPG be influenced by configuration exchanger. For plant, it two possible configurations system: series arrangement parallel arrangement. different also impacts on technical harm this study, from 300 MW used as case study understand impact displacement selections It was found there no occurring exchangers if high-grade only. Furthermore, Parallel better than Series terms additional output. Moreover, protentional reduce carbon dioxide emissions 13%.
