Abstract

Many more geothermal power plants are expected to be built in the United States in the near future. The owners and designer of these plants are increasingly realizing the importance of operations and maintenance to successful plants. Various design features can contribute to plants that will operate well and be easy to maintain. These include the design process itself, built in operation and maintenance features and incorporation of user friendly controls.
