Abstract
In Japan most of the natural hydrothermal reservoirs developed for power generation, air conditioning, snow thawing and agricultural use are located at relatively shallow (1 to 2 km) depths. The number of operating plants in 1974 and 1975 was four, having a capacity of about 70 MW. Three plants were under construction which would provide an additional 150 MW. All use natural steam as the motive agent. If reservoirs at depths greater than 2 km are exploited the capacity for power generation would progressively increase. The development of exploration and drilling techniques has been advanced by the production of remote sensing and automatic drilling equipment capable of operation at 400/sup 0/C and 500 atm. Binary power generation turbine systems are under development and if successful it is predicted that Japanese generating capacity will reach 10 GW by the year 2000.
