Science & Technology: Enel Green Power Develops Remote Diagnostics Tool to Predict Geothermal Plant Performance

SmartGEO telediagnostics project for geothermal power plants and high energy efficiency (News Release)

Almost half of geothermal plants are more than 15 years old – a fact that raises several concerns about their future usability, considering that their modernisation takes the same amount of time.

This is why Enel Green Power, together with academic and research partners like the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa and the University of Florence and industrial partners like I.S.E and SDI Industrial Automation, has created SmartGEO, an innovative remote diagnostics project that allows us to apply new digital technologies to predicting geothermal plant performance. 

SmartGEO’s end goal is the reduction of inefficiencies, from malfunctions to small technical problems, to increase the plants’ energy production capacity.
