摘要

The power density method for estimating potential power generation capacity of geothermal exploration prospects is recommended because it is relatively simple, case histories have been graphically compiled to support parameter estimates, and its pitfalls are more easily appreciated than is the case for many alternatives. In this implementation, a lognormal probability density function (PDF) for capacity in MW is obtained by multiplying two lognormal PDFs, one for interpreted resource area in km~2 and one for power density in MW/km~2. The PDF for the interpreted area of the resource is estimated by constructing a range of geothermal resource conceptual models called the P10, P50 and P90 models representative of the 10, 50 and 90 percentiles of the cumulative distribution function that are commonly used in resource assessment. The conceptual models integrate available geoscience data in a manner consistent with hydro-thermodynamics and their range should consider both both data and conceptual uncertainty. The cumulative distribution function for power density can be estimated from the Wilmarth and Stimac graphical compilation of worldwide geothermal field power density versus resource temperature, categorized by conceptual setting. This approach shares many of the problems of other geothermal resource assessment methods but its simplicity often makes recognizing pitfalls more likely and mitigating them more tractable. For example, one issue with this implementation is its potentially inconsistent area estimates. Because updated conceptual models are not published for most geothermal fields, the power densities are based on areas estimated from the perimeter of the drilled production zones, not from conceptual models. Comparisons of conceptually relevant details from roughly analogous fields can provide a consistency check on power density and on decision tree cases used to provide weighted economics of realistic developments. This approach is implemented in an Excel workbook that has been widely used for training courses and economic decision-making in the geothermal industry. It is available from the author as freeware subject to users' reference to this paper in initial publications of projects that utilize it.
