evaluation of geothermal power plants development:an environmental economics perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
in the sector of electricity production, the existence of investment resources limitation and environmental factors are the main factors that influence this process. the reduction of costs and the destructive impacts of environmental have been always mentioned by specialists. consequently, the drasticality of the environmental protection and the electric-energy production lead to focus on solar power plants. obviously, in our country the issue of required resources for investment surpasses the environmental factors. here, the main question is that in the current situation of our country, the replacement of fossil power plants with solar power plants is possible or not and can we be hopeful that it would be possible in future ? also considering the high costs of electricity production by solar power plants and the situation of electricity production costs and social costs, this research endeavours to do an economic evaluation on the above mentioned subject in iran. in this study, the marginal cost of 1kwh electricity production, in each power plant was estimated, then the evaluation was done considering pollutants and green-house gases emission from fossil power plants and to put the imposed social costs into consideration. in conclusion, it is indicated that using solar power plants electricity is not economical yet, but using photovoltaic systems electricity is economical in the same situations.regarding that electricity demand, resources scarcity and the large amount of pollution, using fossil power plants electricity would not be economical .

Environmental-economic evaluation of sugar cane bagasse gasification power plants versus combined-cycle gas power plants
Approximately 2.4 million tons of bagasse are produced each year in Iran, most of which are currently treated as waste adding to serious environmental concerns. Application of bagasse for energy production is a sustainable solution to supply the required energy within the sugar refineries and export the surplus electricity to the grid. Currently, the energy demand in Iranian sugar mills is main...
متن کاملEfficiency of Geothermal Power Plants: a Worldwide Review
The conversion efficiency of geothermal power developments is generally lower than that of conventional thermal power plants. Confusion can be found in literature concerning the estimation of this conversion efficiency. Geothermal power plants conversion efficiency estimates that is based on the enthalpy of the produced geothermal fluid can be the most desirable for use during the first estimat...
متن کاملSolar-Enhanced Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers for Geothermal Power Plants
This paper focuses on the optimization of a Solar-Enhanced Natural-Draft Dry-Cooling Tower (SENDDCT), originally designed by the Queensland Geothermal Energy Centre of Excellence (QGECE), as the air-cooled condenser of a geothermal power plant. The conventional method of heat transfer augmentation through fin-assisted area extension is compared with a metal foam-wrapped tube bundle. Both lead t...

متن کاملEvaluation of solar-chimney power plants with multiple-angle collectors
Solar chimney power plants are plants based on solar thermal power including three parts of collector, chimney and turbine, which is able to produce electrical energy. One of the effective parameters in increasing the power production is the collector angles versus horizon. In the present study, a numerical analysis of a solar chimney power plant for different angles of the collector (divergent...
