Geothermal materials development; Annual report, FY 1988
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:719763
The ongoing materials development project is an important part of the Geothermal Technology Division`s (GTD) Hydrothermal Research Category, and has an impact on two tasks, Conversion Technology and Hard Rock Penetration. The Level I objective of this category is to reduce the life cycle cost of producing electricity from liquid-dominated, moderate- and high-temperature hydrothermal resources by 25 to 35 percent by 1992. Specific research objectives (Level III) for these tasks include: (1) reducing costs associated with lost circulation episodes by 30 percent by 1992, (2) reducing the costs of deep wells and directionally drilled wells by 10 percent by 1992, (3) reducing well-cementing problems for typical hydrothermal wells by 20 percent by 1991, and (4) reducing the cost of binary power cycles by the development of a corrosion-resistant and low-fouling heat exchanger tube material costing no more than three times the cost of carbon steel by 1991.
