Project: Improving Geothermal System Performance through Collective Knowledge Building and Technology Development
| Acronym | PERFORM (Reference Number: 170155-4401) |
| Duration | 01/05/2018 - 01/05/2021 |
| Project Topic | The objective is to improve geothermal plant performance in order to increase energy output and provide economic feasibility to current and future geothermal projects. Existing geothermal plants still face a large variety of operational problems caused by flow obstructions and inefficient injection strategies. The project plan is to develop a collective knowledge base by aggregating data and experiences from a range of geothermal doublets at supra-national level. Demonstration of cost-efficient, next-generation technologies and methods (cation-, particle filters, CO2-injection, thermal stimulation) will enable the reduction of obstructive elements and resistance to fluid injection. Predictive modelling of physical and chemical processes will permit long-term doublet performance projection. Optimization strategies will be undertaken at demonstration sites to ensure maximum energy output. |
