Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute are co funding a demonstration of the hybrid cycle power concept on a geopressured resource. The power plant was constructed at the Pleasant Bayou geopressured test facility in Texas and has been operational since August 1989. This paper presents an overview of the design and construction and a detailed discussion of plant operation and performance.
