Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the effects on an isolated region when an entirely new and major energy resource is developed to commercial proportions? What happens to the population, the economy, the environment, the community, and societal relations? How does the government frame work respond, the family structure adapt, the economy expand, and life styles change under the impact of new forces which hold a prom ise of much benefit and a risk of adverse consequences? Imperial County, California, has a population of less than 90,000 people. This population has been exceptionally stable for years, cen tered as it is in an agricultural and recreational framework. The county is somewhat cut off from other areas by geographic barriers of moun'" tains and desert, by state and natural boundaries, and is the most remote of all 58 counties of California from the state capitol, Sacra mento. In the decade of the 1950s, geographical explorations for oil re vealed some anomalous structures underlying the desert and agricul tural areas in Imperial County. These, when drilled, seemed to be oil less and hot, and so lacked attractiveness to petroleum wildcatters. In the decade of the 1960s, Dr.

Book excerpt: A portion of the results from a one-year study to assess the feasibility of constructing a 25 to 50 MWe geothermal power plant using low-salinity hydrothermal fluids as the energy source is presented. The objective of this report was to investigate the compatibility of the different power conversion options with real geothermal reservoirs and to analyze the economics of power generation. Nine cases are discussed which were chosen to yield further insight into the effect of reservoir temperature on the choice of conversion technology and power costs. These cases examine flashed steam, binary cycle and hybrid conversion for Raft River, Idaho; Heber, California; and Valles Caldera, New Mexico that have bottom-hole temperatures of approximately 150°C, 180°C and 260°C, respectively. Conceptual layouts of the power conversion processes, cycle analyses and economic analyses are presented. The principal conclusions are: a hydrothermal demonstration plant is technically environmentally, and economically feasible in the 1980 time frame; the recommended demonstration site is Heber, Imperial Valley, California; binary cycle power conversion technology is recommended; the recommended demonstration plant capacity is approximately 50 MWe; and there are no overriding environmental constraints.

Book excerpt: This report ranks and describes California's geographic and end-use markets which could directly use low and moderate temperature geothermal resources are ranked and described, as well as those which have the highest potential for near-term commercial development of these resources. Building on previous market surveys, the assessment determined that out of 38 geothermal resource areas with characteristics for direct use development, five areas have no perceived impediments to near-term development: Susanville, Litchfield, Ontario Hot Springs, Lake Elsinore, and the Salton Sea Geothermal Field. Twenty-nine applications were compared with previously selected criteria to determine their near-term potential for direct use of geothermal fluids. Seven categories were found to have the least impediments to development; agriculture and district heating applications are considered the highest. Ten-year projections were conducted for fossil fuel displacement from the higher rated applications. It is concluded that greenhouses have the greatest displacement of 18 x 106 therms per year.
