“…Medium and low enthalpy fluids can generate electricity by installing binary cycle power plants. In its most basic form, a binary cycle power plant consists of an evaporator, expander, pump, condenser, and heat source. − Throughout the world, countries such as Germany, France, , the United States, , Indonesia, Austria, , and Portugal have used the organic Rankine cycle, a form of binary-cycle power generation technology, which stands out as the primary mechanisms for electrical production from geothermal resources. The ORC’s working principle is like the conventional Rankine cycle.…”

The increase in the global demand for energy and fossil fuel dependency is hindering efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Geothermal resources supplement this increase in energy demand with reduced emissions because of their availability, base-load production profile, and climatic independence. Despite these advantages, the development of geothermal energy is limited because of different reasons such as subsurface exploration risk and high upfront capital cost for drilling and facility construction. However, similarities in infrastructure and operations between the oil and gas industry and the geothermal industry can optimize expense and development when exploiting geothermal resources. Thus, in this review, we present recent advances and applications of geothermal power systems in the oil and gas industry starting from the fundamentals and basic principles of geothermal energy and the organic Rankine cycle (ORC). These applications include the use of geothermal resources via abandoned wells, active wells, and paired thermal enhanced oil recovery processes with injection for fluid heating and energy production. Abandoned wells are alternatives that reduce costs in geothermal energy-use projects. The use of geothermal resources via active wells allows the valorization of a resource, such as the production of water, which is considered a byproduct of production activities in an oilfield. The use of thermally enhanced oil recovery processes enhances the energy conditions of fluids produced in the field, improving geothermal systems with fluids at higher temperatures. Finally, an overview is presented of the challenges and opportunities of geothermal energy in the oil industry where the requirement to improve the usage of technologies, such as the ORCs, with the working fluids used in the cycles, is highlighted. Furthermore, the importance of environmental studies and use of novel tools, such as nanotechnology, to improve the efficiency of geothermal energy usage is highlighted.

In many developing countries,the use of conventional power plants to generate electricity is not meeting the increasing demands. Therefore, it has become important to find sustainable alternatives. In the present study, a solar hybrid combined cycle power plant consisting of a solar thermal plant, large-scale gas and steam turbines, and a magnetohydrodynamic generator has been investigated under oxy-fuel combustion. The performance analysis of this system under fuel pressure rate varying from 10 to 25 bar was conducted using Cycle Tempo software. The analysis of the gas and steam combined cycle shows that the net powers and the net efficiencies obtained ranged from 98 MWe to 134 MWe and 30.5% to 40%, respectively. In addition, the integration of the magnetohydrodynamic generator to the combined cycle led to an increase in the overall power from 169 MWe to 205 MWe. Moreover, it is seen that the fuel mass rate (2.81 kg/s) obtained in the gas turbine system under oxy-fuel combustion is significantly reduced when compared to conventional systems. The incorporation of solar energy and oxy-fuel combustion in the gas turbine system has increased the combustor inlet and outlet temperature and reduced the fuel consumption. From these observations, the solar hybrid system proposed in this study does not only generates electric power but also reduce the turbine exhaust fumes and CO2 emissions, which is a key factor in minimizing environment pollution.

“…Some literature has been published on control of ORC systems, but no recent comprehensive review has been reported on control theories and applications of ORC systems except Tona and Peralez (2015), where the control schemes designed for ORC systems on board heavy-duty vehicle was surveyed. A number of research publications have reviewed architectures (Lecompte et al, 2015), principles (Liu et al, 2015; Shi et al, 2017; Tchanche et al, 2013), working fluid and expander selections (Bao and Zhao, 2013), modelling (Zhang et al, 2017; Ziviani et al, 2014), Techno-economic analysis (Quolin et al, 2013; Velez et al, 2012), applications in waste heat recovery (Hung et al, 1997; Qiu et al, 2015; Sprouse et al, 2013) and ORC-based power systems (Colonna et al, 2015; Markides, 2015).…”
