5. [10 points) A private company in Kızıldere Geothermal Field wants to construct a binary power plant. The reservoir temperature Tres, in Kızıldere Geothermal Field is assumed to be 230 °C. Using the information given in Table 1, calculate the installed power (MW) for this geothermal plant. Hint: First use the total stored heat, then use lower equation for power calculations. Power Hotal * RF x%Y where, RF is recovery factor (fraction), Y is conversion LF x tp efficiency (fraction), LF is load factor (fraction) and tp is life of the project (s). RF: 0.16, Y =0.0935 Tres -2.3266, LF:0.90 and tp:30 years. Table 1. Information about Kızıldere Geothermal Field. Reservoir area, km 6 Reservoir thickness, m 2500 0,% 8 Density of rock, gr/cm 2.65 Density of reservoir fluid, kg/m 861 Specific heat of rock, kJ/kg°C 0.9 Specific heat of reservoir fluid, kJ/kg"C 4.18 Reservoir rocks and fluid are in thermally equilibrium.
