Abstract
Many innovations have been incorporated into the design, construction and operation of the Steamboat Springs 5 MW Geothermal Power Plant. The elements discussed herein include the air coolers, the subcritical power cycle and the control system for automatic operation. Additionally, the unique features of the power modules itself enabled a major field conversion of the cooling system to be executed.
