Exergy analysis and pressure optimisation of geothermal binary power plants
Binary geothermal power plants are used for power production from moderate temperature geothermal reservoirs (85-170°C). In performance analysis of those plants, the second law of thermodynamics is used like in other conventional power plants. In this paper, the exergy analysis and pressure optimisation methods are described for binary power plants. The method described is applied to a ...

Design of method and mechanism for geothermal energy extraction
By drilling using a specially designed hydride carbide (melting point: 1,365°C) drill, we can drill the earth's crust to about 5 to 40 km to reach temperatures of 700 to 1,000°C, with minimum cost of the drill and drilling technology. Further, we can extract energy by pouring in water on an inserted carbide alloy vessel into the drilled well and bringing out as steam to drive the turbines. By ...

Renewable Energy - A Key Solution to End Global Warming
Scientists have spent years trying to find the causes of global warming leading to significant changes in the world’s climate. Their research shows that several factors have contributed to the rise of earth’s temperature and altering of natural cycles and actions. One key reason is excessive emission of greenhouse gases like, methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. These ...

Strada Global: Why we need to rethink the map on Geothermal
For decades, everything we’ve known about geothermal potential has been modelled on a map that shows available resources in some parts of the world, but not others. We need to change that mindset and make people aware that we’re standing on vast resources of geothermal heat, wherever we are in the world. When it comes to geothermal, there are hurdles in people’s minds. They ...

Strada Global: Why We Developed Our Geothermal Technology
I was interviewed recently by Patrick Hanson of Geo Energy Marketing, an organisation in the US that seeks to tell the stories of innovative businesses within the geothermal space. Read the interview below for a closer insight into why Strada chose to focus on geothermal technology, the mission that drives our company and why we believe geothermal innovation can be the solution to the ...

A BME solution of the stochastic three-dimensional Laplace equation representing a geothermal field subject to site-specific information
This work develops a model of the geothermal field in the Nea Kessani region (Greece) by means of the Bayesian maximum entropy (BME) method, which describes the temperature variations across space in the underground geological formations. The geothermal field is formed by a thermal reservoir consisting of arcosic sandstones. The temperature distribution vs depth was first investigated by the ...
