Abstract

Small geothermal electric power plants are well suited for “village power” applications. There are many remote sites around the world that have a demand for electric power with no near-term potential for access to a central power distribution grid. A significant portion of these sites have geothermal resources that can be used to produce cost effective electric power. Small, modular geothermal power plants are available that can operate unattended and are designed to minimize the need for on-site installation and maintenance labor. In the United States these plants have been in operation for more than 10 years with availability in excess of 98%.
