Abstract
In recent years, various feasibility studies and projects have demonstrated the benefits of integrating concentrated solar power (CSP) within a binary geothermal power plant. The CSP-geothermal hybrid systems complement and improve each other by addressing some of the inherent limitations of each system and ultimately providing a stable and reliable base load power. These hybrid plants are being used in the United States, particularly in Nevada, Oregon, and Utah.
Some limitations of these systems are:
- Binary geothermal resources mostly are low-to-moderate temperature
- Geothermal fields have relatively short life spans
- Solar power systems are unreliable for peak power demand
- Solar power is weather dependent
A hybrid plant solution, which is safe, innovative, and sustainable, helps address these limitations.
