Description

A 5MW(e) Pilot Geothermal Power Plant was built at Raft River, Idaho, as an integral part of the Department of Energy's plan for commercial development of geothermal energy. The purpose of the plant was to investigate the technical feasibility of utilizing a moderate temperature hydrothermal resource (275 to 300/sup 0/F) to generate electrical power in an environmentally acceptable manner. The plant used a dual-boiling binary cycle with isobutane as the working fluid, and drew thermal energy from a 280/sup 0/F liquid-dominated resource. This paper presents the results of that testing, comparing the system performance to the performance predicted prior to … continued below
