浅谈分布式井口地热电站在肯尼亚Olkaria地区的应用

A Brief Introduction on Distributed Geothermal Wellhead Power Plants at Olkaria Area in Kenya

摘要: 本文分析了肯尼亚的能源结构特点及其可再生能源的开发现状，介绍了Olkaria地区的地热资源特点；对传统的集中式电站和新型分布式井口电站的技术特性进行了对比研究，指出分布式井口地热电站在肯尼亚Olkari地区具有较好的应用前景，为地热电站的建站模式优选提供了科学参考。

Abstract: This paper analyzed the feature of energy structures and current status of renewable energy de-velopment in Kenya. The characteristics of geothermal resource at Olkaria area were elaborated. A comparative study has been conducted on the technical differences between the central power plants and wellhead power plants. It was pointed out that the wellhead geothermal power plants were more suitable for the geothermal energy development at Olkaria in Kenya. This paper pro-vides a scientific reference for the optimum selection of geothermal power production mode.
