CHPM schematics and blueprints

This deliverable is related to Task 4.3 which will produce finalized technical specifications for the CHPM Plant on the basis of simulations done in WP4.2. Final design process of the entire system will be carried out and manufacturing blueprints and other technical documentation are produced. Top class CAD/CAE-software will be utilized throughout the design process. Simulation models established will be updated with final design parameters to keep them valid for later use. Results will be presented to the Advisory Group, Stakeholders and media representatives at Month 42. Design specifications will be provided for the following key CHPM systems components: • Downhole systems (sensors, monitoring equipment; pumps – only for medium enthalpy environments) • Brine supply system • Heat exchangers (working fluid, pre-heater, evaporator/super-heater) • Turbine-generator and controls • Distributed control and monitoring system • Working fluid condenser, accumulator and storage system • Working fluid feed pump system • Salt gradient power reverse electrodialysis • Metal recovery systems • Back-up and emergency systems • Geothermal fluid storage and reinjection system In addition, energy recovery will not be limited to the generation of electricity but will also investigate the opportunities for direct heat applications with the “waste” geothermal brine as the source of heat. This will further improve the overall economics and also be a source of energy for new industries. Cascading utilisation scenarios will be reviewed and incorporated into the final recommendations.
