Abstract
Japan is located in a volcanic zone where there are widespread and valuable geothermal energy resources with huge amount of potential. However, geothermal power generation is not developed as desired due to high cost. The new technologies are applied to the four plants which we constructed recently in order to realize an improvement in economy and reliability. Those plants have been successfully operated and achieved high dependability.
