Economics of geothermal electricity generation from hydrothermal resources
Bloomster, C.H.; Knutsen, C.A. - 2007
The most important factors affecting the economics of geothermal electricity production are the wellhead temperature or enthalpy, the well flow rate, and the cost of the wells. The capital cost of the powerplant is significant, but not highly sensitive to these resource characteristics. The...

Geothermal probabilistic cost study
Orren, L.H.; Ziman, G.M.; Jones, S.C.; Lee, T.K.; Noll, R. - 2007
A tool is presented to quantify the risks of geothermal projects, the Geothermal Probabilistic Cost Model (GPCM). The GPCM model is used to evaluate a geothermal reservoir for a binary-cycle electric plant at Heber, California. Three institutional aspects of the geothermal risk which can shift...

Utilization of U. S. geothermal resources. Final report
Reitzel, J. - 2007
This study is concerned with U.S. geothermal resources, their potential for commercial utilization by electric utilities between now and the year 2000, and their impact on the utility industry. USGS estimates of the resources in identified hydrothermal systems were extrapolated to the...
