Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of Geothermal Power Plants

Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of Geothermal Power Plants guides researchers and engineers on the analysis and optimization of geothermal power plants through conventional and innovative methods. Coverage encompasses the fundamentals, thermodynamic analysis, and optimization of geothermal power plants. Advanced thermodynamic analysis tools such as exergy analysis, thermoeconomic analysis, and several thermodynamic optimization methods are covered in-depth for different configurations of geothermal power plants through case studies. Interdisciplinary research with relevant economic and environmental dimensions are addressed in many of the studies, along with optimization studies aimed at better efficiency, lower cost and lower environmental impact. Addresses the complexities of thermodynamic assessment in almost all operational plant configurations, including solar-geothermal and multi-generation power plantsIncludes an exemplary range of case studies, from basic to integratedProvides modern optimization methods, including entropy-based, exergoeconomic, artificial neural networks and multi-objective particle swarmCovers environmental impact considerations and integration with renewable energy systems INDICE: Basics of Geothermal Power Plants 1.
