This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adak Naval Station, Adak, Alaska is located approximately 1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage and 700 miles southeast of Siberia, near the center of the Aleutian island chain. The Station is strategically important for patrol and surveillance of Arctic waters. On Adak, all electric power generation and space heating is done with JP-5 jet fuel, amounting to nearly 9 million gallons per year. This dependence on oil, coupled with the remoteness of the island, makes any form of indigenous power source attractive if it is exploitable commercially. The purpose of this report is to present the data, results, and interpretations of numerous geoscientific investigations concerning indigenous geothermal potential at the Naval Station (NAVSTA), Adak.

Book excerpt: The Adak Geothermal Project is concerned with the use of geothermal energy as a possible alternative to the present fossil fuel energy system on Adak. Three different types of geothermal energy systems, each based on an assumed different reservoir temperature range, are considered. These systems, which could supply the facilities on Adak with energy for space heating or complete electrical power including electrical heating, are: (1) space heating using either above-ground insulated fiberglass pipelines or in-ground insulated steel pipelines, (2) direct electrical power generation using geothermal fluids either at a central power plant or via individual wellhead generating units, either system producing 25 MWe gross output, or (3) a binary geothermal electrical power generation facility where the geothermal fluids would heat a secondary (binary) fluid which would operate the electrical generating equipment, producing a 25 MWe gross output. The cost of each system was analyzed, and cost-effectiveness was determined by comparing the investment cost with projected fuel savings. An investment return (payback period) for each system was determined using an 8% annual fuel escalation factor. A comparison was made between the Navy price for JP-5 aviation fuel (main fuel on Adak) and the apparent real cost of this type fuel to other remote regions in Alaska. This gave comparative payback costs of this type of energy system if developed by private industry.
