| Abstract: | The objectives for the Heber Demonstration Project are to: Design, construct, and operate the world's first commercial-size, binary-cycle, power plant by mid-1984; Confirm the binary-cycle as the best overall electric energy conversion technology for moderate temperature (300-400 F) hydrothermal resources; Demonstrate the environmental acceptability of large-scale, binary-cycle technology; Provide the Department of Energy with the component and system performance data necessary to stimulate nationwide geothermal development; and Establish an alternative energy source for electric power generation and to help reduce U.S. dependence on uncertain supplies of foreign oil. |
