Title:
DESIGN AND CONTROL SYSTEM TO MANAGE AND OPTIMIZE A GEOTHERMAL ELECTRIC GENERATION SYSTEM FROM ONE OR MORE WELLS THAT INDIVIDUALLY PRODUCE HEAT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/016920
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A control system manages and optimizes a geothermal electric generation system from one or more wells that individually produce heat. The control system includes heat sensors that measure temperature and fluid flow and are placed at critical points in the wells, in piping, in a hot fluid reservoir, in a cold fluid reservoir and in a cooling system. The control system also includes pump and valve controls, generator controls, a network for gathering information and delivering instructions, and a processing module that collects information and communicates control information to each component.
