Science & Technology: Novel Concept for Integrating Binary Plants at a Geothermal Site

Making use of geothermal brine in Indonesia: binary demonstration power plant Lahendong/Pangolombian (Geothermal Energy)

By Stephanie Frick et al, Geothermal Energy volume 7, Article number: 30 (2019) 

This paper describes a novel concept for integrating binary plants at a geothermal site which has been realized within a demonstration project in Indonesia.

By using an intermediate hot water and an intermediate cooling water cycle it is possible to integrate a fully-automated binary plant with flexible operation in an existing, predominantly manually operated geothermal field.

The paper gives technical component details and describes specific design considerations of the demonstration power plant. Furthermore operational data and experiences are shared.
