| 1. | Bett Alvin Kiprono, Saeid Jalilinasrabady, Application of reservoir exergy profile analysis by wellbore simulation on Olkaria Domes geothermal field, Geothermics, 10.1016/j.geothermics.2022.102478, 105, 102478, 2022.11, [URL], Geothermal is the energy for the future and is eco-friendly. Exergy analysis of geothermal power plants has been referenced based on wellhead and surface environment conditions. Previous studies have not linked the surface and sub-surface in Olkaria and other geothermal fields worldwide. The wellbore simulator connected the wellhead, and the reservoir simulated pressure and temperature logs for Olkaria Domes in Olkaria, a liquid-dominated geothermal field. The simulation results enabled the calculation of exergy values at any depth using the pressure and temperature between the reservoir and wellhead. Obtained results of the research used to interpret heat transfer between geothermal reservoir layers and the location of the reservoir. This study takes the exergy analysis to the source of geothermal brine under saturated conditions. The paper presents exergy profiles of geothermal wells at Olkaria Domes. The field data input parameters were wellhead pressure, mass flow rates of steam and brine, wellbore diameter, and the reservoir depths (deeper/second and shallow). A wellbore model developed in 1988 was used to simulate temperature-pressure profiles. The thermodynamic parameters (temperature and pressure) from the wellbore simulator were input parameters in the Engineers Equation Solver (EES) code to calculate entropy, enthalpy, and specific exergy. The wellbore exergy profiles show estimated feed zone depths of -1000 - (-) 2800 m.a.s.l for two-directional and three vertical wells. The profiles predicted convective and conductive heat transfers points. For wellhead temperatures of between 182 -205°C, the reservoir temperatures from the wellbore simulator are high at 292°C. The formation pressures were between 3,978 to 7,710 kPa. Exergy wellbore simulation of the geothermal reservoir predicted the reservoir and heat transfers in the sub-surface. The study demonstrates the importance of connecting the reservoir and wellhead via a wellbore simulation and exergy profiles.. |
| 2. | Saeid Jalilinasrabady, Toshiaki Tanaka, Ryuichi Itoi, Hiroki Goto, Numerical simulation and production prediction assessment of Takigami geothermal reservoir, ENERGY, 10.1016/j.energy.2021.121503, 236, 2021.12, A numerical model was developed for the Takigami geothermal reservoir. A conceptual model of the field was constructed, initial and boundary conditions were defined according to available data. For the optimum model, permeability values of assigned rock types, mass flow rates, enthalpies, and locations of recharge zones were estimated according to matching between computed temperature for wells and their temperature profiles before the exploitation. Observed and calculated temperature profiles confirmed the validity of the conceptual model. The best model could successfully reproduce the initial temperature profiles of 13 wells located mainly in the production area. A developed model was used as an initial model for future prediction of the reservoir performance. The prediction simulation was conducted by assuming two different development scenarios for the Takigami geothermal power plant. Scenario I was continuing the current power production. Scenario II was to investigate producing 8.6 MWe more electricity by employing bottoming binary cycle to the currently under operation single flash plant. Effects of production and reinjection temperatures under proposed development scenarios were evaluated. Simulation results indicated that most probably there is no direct interaction between reinjection and production zones in the Takigami reservoir,and installing a binary plant will not have any severe impact on reservoir performance.. |
| 3. | Kiprono Bett Alvin, Saeid Jalilinasrabady, Exergoeconomic Analysis for Optimized Combined Wet and Dry Cooling BinaryPower Plant at Olkaria I, Kenya, Geothermics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2021.102160, 95, 102160, 95, 2021.06, [URL], This study investigated a complete exergoeconomic comparison of wet and dry-cooled binary power plants. Simple organic Rankine cycles (ORC) for Olkaria geothermal field in Kenya using eight isobutane types of working fluids were proposed for analysis by the thermo-economic concept and sustainability index (SI). Network generated per heat transfer surface area was the optimized objective function, f(obj). Variable metric optimization method implemented in Engineers Equation Solver (EES) was applied to optimize plants for average fuel cost for geothermal fluid at 1.3 $/GJ. The exergoeconomic of the cooling tower contributed mainly to the investment cost of a water-cooled plant. Network of 1,628 kWe to 2,594 kWe was generated in wet cooled unit with SI of 1.654 to 2.701 for f(obj) of 1.5 to 1.8. For air-cooled plant, SI ranges were from 1.286 to 1.612 for the network from 1,446 kWe to 2,469 kWe with utilization efficiency of 34.77% to 59.37% and f(obj) values of 0.56 to 0.89. The cost of products range was from 18.3 $/GJ to 20.76 $/GJ for wet system and from 20.87 $/GJ to 23.4 $/GJ for dry-cooling. Selection of the suitable power plant based on exergoeconomic would be air-cooled systems with lower plant's cost rates of between 76.92 $/hr and 135.8 $/hr. The heat capacities are 20,806-20,610 kW for isobutene, 24,153-23,928 kW for isobutane, 13,727-13,595 kW for cis-2-butene and, 16,772-16,611 kW for n-butane for ambient temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. Application of air-cooled units would be advisable where water is scarce and in colder regions. Thermo-economic concept concludes that complete exergoeconomic of power plants presents a better investment decision by variable metric optimization method.. |
