Geothermal Power Generation Market Report - Dry Steam, Flash Steam & Binary Cycle Technology Analysis 2013-2019
M2 - Tue Aug 26, 6:31AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/svz8fv/geothermal_power) has announced the addition of the "Geothermal Power Generation Market for Dry Steam, Flash Steam, Binary Cycle Technology - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. Three primary technologies are used to generate geothermal power: Dry steam, flash steam and binary cycle power plants. Currently, the market is witnessing significant changes in terms of technology adoption. This trend is likely to continue in the near future. Dry steam plant is the oldest technology. It requires high temperature resources for efficient generation of geothermal power. Flash steam plants accounted for a major market share in terms of overall installations globally. Flash steam power plants are further segmented into single flash, dual flash and triple flash power plants. Binary cycle power plant is a relatively new technology. Such plants utilize a heat exchanger with a secondary fluid that has a lower boiling point. This enables binary cycle power plant plants to maintain high efficiencies and generate power from lower temperature resources. As geothermal resources in the world deplete, these plants are likely to grab significant market share in the near future. Technologies such as Solar-Geothermal Hybrids or Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are still in the initial phase of market penetration. These plants provide highly efficient and sustainable power generation; however, these are still highly expensive and do not generate power at grid parity levels. Law and policy frameworks prove to be a boon as well as bane for this particular industry. Laws mandating renewable energy purchase standards for utilities and feed in tariffs promise higher returns for investors. Strong foreign investment policies and frequent soft loans extended by major banks have boosted investor confidence in this industry. However, on the other side, laws such as environment protection mandates, land ownership laws and water protection laws are negatively affecting the growth of the sector in certain countries. Nonetheless, these issues are likely to be resolved in the near future. Although geothermal power generation demands high upfront capital requirements, short and attractive payback periods along with zero fuel costs enhance returns post commissioning. Costs incurred for the establishment of power plants are divided into exploration costs, drilling costs, surface facility costs and actual power plant manufacturing costs.
