The implementation of heat from geothermal hot water into a 50 MW wood-fired electrical generating plant is investigated. Plant performance and fuel consumption parameters are compared for various system alternatives to establish the incentives for employing geothermal heat into the power generation process. Several areas for geothermal heat use are investigated and general conclusions are drawn in regard to the overall feasibility of each.
