Simulation-Based Study of a Novel Integration: Geothermal–Biomass Power Plant

Abstract: This work investigates the potential to integrate a biomass combustor with an existing geothermal power plant. The motivation is to identify the most cost-effective approach to boost the geothermal turbine power output using heat from the biomass combustor to superheat the geothermal steam upstream of the turbine inlet. Different alternative integration configurations were identified and simulated using Aspen Plus software to evaluate their performance in terms of incremental power output and efficiency. Of th… Show more

“…With the continuous development of science and technology, the types of energy available for human use are not limited to traditional fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) . Wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, hydrogen energy, and other green, coordinated, and sustainable energy types are increasingly appearing in people’s daily lives. In 2013, fossil fuels accounted for 81% of global primary energy consumption. , It is estimated that, by 2040, oil and natural gas will still occupy the world’s major energy markets . As an unconventional fossil energy rich in natural gas, natural gas hydrate (NGH) has attracted the attention of more and more scientists. , …”
