The approach to developing moderate temperature (150/sup 0/ to 300/sup 0/F) geothermal resources so that these can competitively enter the energy market is herein described. The specifics discussed relate to experiments in the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory's program effort. These involve the energy supply and disposal systems, the surface conversion equipment for generating electricity, and supplementary uses of the heat directly for industrial and agricultural applications. The experimental facilities are located in the Raft River Valley area of southcentral Idaho, close to the Utah border, and the document describes the purpose and likely economic benefit to result from this experimental program.
