Abstract
CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG) is a carbon
neutral renewable electricity generation technology where
geologic CO2 is circulated to the surface to directly generate
power and then is reinjected into the deep subsurface. In
contrast to traditional water geothermal power generation
with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), CPG has fewer
system inefficiencies and benefits from the lower viscosity of
subsurface CO2 which allows power generation at shallower
depths, lower temperatures, and lower reservoir
transmissivities.
In this paper, we modify our existing geothermal
electricity models by: 1) replacing TOUGH2 reservoir
simulations with analytic solutions for a 5-spot reservoir
impedance, and 2) including heat loss to the surrounding rock
using a semi-analytical heat transfer solution. We report the
results of 3050 simulations in a single plot, showing the
power generation of both direct CPG systems and indirect
water geothermal systems for depths between 1 and 7 km and
reservoir transmissivities between 102 and 105 mD-m (10^-13
and 10^-10 m^3). Mehr anzeigen
