Financing: EU SP6 - Sustainable Energy Systems
Short description:
The LOW-BIN project aims at improving cost-effectiveness, competitiveness and market penetration of geothermal electricity generation schemes, targeting both hydrothermal resources for immediate market penetration and future enhanced geothermal systems, by:
Both machines will comprise fully integrated units, integrating vapour turbine, cooling heat exchanger, liquid pump, preheater (optional), geothermal heat exchanger, automation and control and other auxiliary equipment.
The project involves theoretical research, laboratory experimentation, pre-prototype development, technology evaluation of the pre-prototype in terms of technology breakthrough achievement, energy efficiency, electricity generation costs and market potential, manufacturing and demonstration of successful prototypes, monitoring and technology validation, as well as dissemination of the technology and other innovation related activities.
