PERFORM
The objective is to improve geothermal plant performance to increase energy output and provide economic feasibility to current and future geothermal projects. Existing geothermal plants still face many operational problems caused by flow obstructions and inefficient injection strategies.
The project plan is to develop a collective knowledge base by aggregating data and experiences from various geothermal doublets at a multi-national level. Demonstration of cost-efficient, next-generation technologies and methods (cation-, particle filters, CO2 injection, thermal stimulation) will enable the reduction of obstructive elements and resistance to fluid injection. Predictive modelling of physical and chemical processes will permit long-term doublet performance projection. Optimisation strategies will be undertaken at demonstration sites to ensure maximum energy output.
