Abstract

A 3 MW condensing generator system will be designed and constructed at the HGP-A well in Puna, Hawaii. Full environmental controls will be built into the design as well as considerations of minimizing risks of volcanic activities and remote operations by the local utility company. This Federal, State and County jointly funded project will be in operation by December 1, 1980.
