EXAMINING of POWER GENERATION POTENTIAL in SIMAV GEOTHERMAL FIELD
Abstract
Geothermal energy is an alternative energy resource, since it has low CO2 emission and is renewable and sustainable. As a clean energy resource, geothermal may be a solution for the energy problems if the sources are used for the electricity generation in an increasing amount. In this study, it is aimed to attract notice of the use of geothermal energy in the electricity generation in Simav-Kutahya, which is the one of fifteen most important geothermal fields. In this way, Kalina and binary power plants have been designed using the flow rates and temperatures of Simav geothermal field from the literature. Two cases of binary cycle, in which different working fluids have been used, have also been investigated. So, an efficiency of 19.8 has been calculated for the Kalina cycle. The efficiency for binary cycle has been calculated as 12.9 % in the case of using R134a and it is calculated as 10.6 % in the case of using HCFC-124.
