An Investment Capacity Calculator for Geothermal Power Plant, District Heating and Greenhouses Investments: Geothermal Investment Tool

Abstract

Geothermal Investment Tool is a new application which is developed for international geothermal investors, professional employers in geothermal investments and power plants, academicians who are working in geothermal area and all interested people related with geothermal. The power plant, district heating and greenhouse capacities can be easily calculated by using the some thermophysical properties of geothermal fluid (wellhead temperature, pressure, flow rate and re-injection temperature) with “Geothermal Investment Tool”. In addition internal electricity consumption of production well pumps and injection pumps, total BOP electricity consumption can be computed and then net electricity generation for sale and annual revenue can be calculated with advanced calculation option using detail information such as plant inlet pressure, injection pressure, local component contribution etc. This application which is prepared to create an easy calculation method for geothermal investors, academicians and professional employers in geothermal market is developed to facilitate the geothermal investment capacities calculations.
