1. Abstract :
In this semester we have studied course of thermodynamics II. For this project we selected
geothermal powerplant as we have studied different cycles to calculate efficiency and we tried our
best to increase it by doing regeneration, reheating, intercooling etc. For our power plant we have
done something similar, we calculated the energy as well as exergy analysis and by doing
calculation at every state we successfully calculated total power plant thermal efficiency. In this
report we have listed down the objectives of our semester project, its theory, working principle,
calculations at every state, table of results, conclusion, methods to improve efficiency and
references.
2. Project Objectives :
• Doing energy calculations.
• Doing exergy analysis.
• Studying different cycles to increase our efficiency.
• Finding total thermal efficiency of geothermal power plant.
• Ways to increase efficiency of our geothermal power plant.
Geothermal power plants are utilized to produce power by utilizing the geothermal energy (the
Earth's inner nuclear power). They basically work equivalent to a coal or thermal energy station,
the primary contrast being the intensity source. With geothermal, the Earth's intensity replaces the
evaporator of a coal plant or on the other hand the reactor of an atomic plant.
Boiling water or steam is removed from the Earth through a progression of wells and feeds the
power plant. In most geothermal plants the water pulled up starting from the earliest stage got back
to the subsurface. The rate of water utilized is frequently bigger than the pace of water returned, so
make-up water supplies are generally needed.

Types of Geothermal Power Plant :
• Dry Steam Geothermal Power Plants utilize dry steam that is normally created in the ground. This
steam goes from the creation well to the surface and through a turbine, and later moving its energy to
the turbine it condensed and is infused once more into the Earth.
• Flash steam Geothermal Power Plants take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the earth and
convert it to steam to drive generator turbines. When the steam cools, it condenses to water and is
injected back into the ground to be used again. Most geothermal power plants are flash steam plants.
• Binary cycle power plants transfer the heat from geothermal hot water to another liquid. The heat
causes the second liquid to turn to steam, which is used to drive a generator turbine.
3. Modifications :
• Simple Combined Cycle Binary Geothermal Power Plant :

• Reheating it :

Working principle:
Our power plant is a combined cycle binary geothermal power plant, the topping is
Brayton cycle. But it there is slight difference between common Brayton cycle and the
cycle which we used in our project. We have a Geothermal heat exchanger in place of
Combustion chamber for Brayton cycle. The Geothermal heat exchanger behaves
exactly like the combustion chamber in this cycle. Hot geothermal fluid enters into the
heat exchanger, and it heats the working fluid of Brayton cycle. The geothermal fluid
which comes out from the outlet of the heat exchanger is then injected back into the
ground. The geothermal fluid and the working fluid of Brayton Cycle do not mix
together.
The bottoming cycle is a normal Reheat Rankine cycle. The reheat Rankine cycle is used
to increasethe efficiency of the cycle. Steam is the working fluid for reheat Rankine
cycle. We use single reheatRankine cycle.
We also used open feed water heater to increase efficiency in the bottoming rankine cycle .

• We can increase the turbine inlet temperature .It will relate to increase the pressure ratio and by
ideal brayton efficiency equation , our efficiency increases.
• We can increase turbine and compressor efficiency , it will led to greater cycle efficiency.
• We can also do modifications to simple brayton cycle .For modifications we have different methods ,
includes regeneration, intercooling and reheating.
Regeneration progression warms the air before the ignition chamber recovering intensity that
would typically be released to the environment.
Intercooling is done by compressing in multiple stages, and removing heat between devices.
Reheating is the same as compression with intercooling but in reverse: the high pressure, high
temperature air is expanded in a turbine, reheated back to the high pressure and temperature, and then
expanded again in another turbine.

• By decreasing the condenser pressure causes the reduction in temperature at which heat is rejected ,
it results in increase in area which leds to increase the efficiency of cycle but the pressure must be
above saturation pressure.
• Increasing the boiler pressure causes increase in the boiling temperature of the steam which will led
to increase in net work and efficiency.
• Superheating the steam to a high temperature if the steam is superheated before it is allowed to
expand the efficiency of Rankine cycle gets increased.

Conclusion:
Firstly, we worked on simple combine cycle and calculated its overall efficiency .i.e., 45.12%. We had to develop
a system whose efficiency should be increased by making it cost efficient. So we made some changes in the
rankine cycle by reheating it and the efficiency increased to 47.02%.
To increase the efficiency further we used an open feedwater system which resulted in increase in efficiency to
48.94%. The main thing which was kept under notice while performing the whole process was the efficiency
which should be kept increasing with the addition of reheating and open feedwater system and the whole process
must be cost effective
