1 L'ATTIVITÀ DI ENEL NEL CAMPO DELLE RISORSE GEOTERMICHE A BASSA ENTALPIA Marco Paci ENEL Engineering & Innovation Research Technical Area Giovanni Pasqui ENEL Green Power Engineering & Construction Ferrara, September 2010
2 Geothermal energy: a big potential Hydrothermal systems situated at relatively shallow depths from the earth s surface. steam-dominated systems steam is the continuous phase that controls the reservoir pressure and stem only (+NCG) is produced by the wells. water-dominated systems - water is the continuous phase that controls the reservoir pressure; the wells produce water, or more often a mixture of water and steam + NCG at high temperature ( C) and pressure. Hot water reservoirs with temperature ranging from 30 C to 85 C can be typically used for district or green house heating. Hot dry rocks rocky masses situated at a considerable depth beneath the earth s crust and characterized by high temperature and total absence of circulation fluids. Geo-pressurized reservoirs made up of water at high temperature (200 C) and a pressure level near to th e lithostatic one (depths >4000 m). Magmatic systems magma bodies relatively close to the earth s surface. With wind and solar energy we look at the sky, but there is a lot of energy under our feet. (J. Tester, MIT) GeoThermoExpo 2010 Ferrara, Settembre

4 Low enthalpy geothermal resources High temperature geothermal resources naturally occur in geologically active areas Ring of fire Medium/low temperature hydrothermal reservoirs are abundantly available and have by far the biggest electricity generation potential throughout Europe and worldwide ORC technology represents the best way to generate electricity from low-enthalpy geothermal resources GeoThermoExpo 2010 Ferrara, Settembre
5 Binary cycles for low enthalpy geo-resources USO: Riservato Aziendale For water-dominated resources with temperature lower than 180 C, the binary cycle technology is the most efficient. The geo-fluid energy is transferred through a heat exchanger to a secondary fluid that works in a closed ORC cycle. Conventional working fluid: -Isobutane -Isopentane -Butane -Pentane The binary power plants have the least environmental impact due to the confinement of the geo-fluid. GeoThermoExpo 2010 Ferrara, Settembre
6 ENEL s interest in low enthalpy geothermal resources LATERA Geothermal Power Plant: 1st ENEL attempt (1999) to use binary technology based on ORC, as bottoming cycle. Installed capacity: 5 MW OEM : ORMAT Units : 2 (2500 kw net each) Working fluid : N-Pentane 394 t/h Cold Source : Geothermal Steam Condensate from Wet Cooling Towers C Hot Source : Geothermal Brine C Plant has been shut down (2002) due to public acceptance problems. GeoThermoExpo 2010 Ferrara, Settembre
7 ENEL s interest in low enthalpy geothermal resources In early 2007 Enel North America acquired the rights to develop 4 geothermal fields in California, Nevada and Utah. Approximately 65 MWe from low enthalpy geo-resources are now in operation (Stillwater and Salt Wells power plants).

13 Project Geotermia Innovativa - Objectives To develop an advanced, supercritical, ORC technology in order to improve ENEL s geothermal production from low enthalpy geothermal resources worldwide (with a specific focus to USA). - Net specific work > 44 kj/kg brine (~ +30% compared to actual technology). - High operation flexibility (capability to work with high performances in a wide range of brine temperatures). - Reduced investment cost. To demonstrate an advanced ORC at the pilot scale (500kWe). - Cycle thermodynamic performance. - Operating flexibility. - Component design and scale-up criteria (with a particular focus on turbo - expander). - Component reliability during long term operation (some thousands hours). To evaluate the feasibility to increase the productivity of ENEL s ORC geothermal plants in the USA by means of integration with solar energy. GeoThermoExpo 2010 Ferrara, Settembre
14 Project Geotermia Innovativa - Overview Project time schedule TD cycle and working fluid have been selected. Short - Middle Term Activities Basic design of pilot plant SC ORC (Apr. '10).

23 Concluding remarks Within the temperature range investigated and for the design specifications assumed, supercritical binary cycles are more efficient than subcritical cycles, producing up to 23% more net power, despite the fact that parasitic pumping losses are 2-3 times higher in the supercritical cases than in subcritical ones. Refrigerants performed very well as working fluids, especially for supercritical cycles. In a supercritical cycle the possibility of operating outside the fluid saturation diagram during the heat adduction phase guarantees a greater operational flexibility with respect to subcritical cycles. Based on the positive results of the work undertaken, ENEL has signed a cooperation agreement with Turboden and Milan Polytechnic aimed at designing and constructing a 500 kwe pilot plant in its experimental area in Leghorn in order to assess TD performance, component reliability and costs of the new technology. In the meantime, the techno-economical feasibility of geo-solar integration for ENEL s binary plant in the USA is under evaluation in cooperation with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, aiming at increasing production, reducing risks and increasing flexibility. ENEL Green Power geothermal development relies heavily on ORC technology, foreseeing more investments in the USA as well as in Southern Europe and in the Mediterranean countries.
