Supercritical Steam Power Plants in Iceland
Recently I chanced upon a Scientific American Article that quoted my book on supercritical steam in the article “One Hot Island: Iceland's Renewable Geothermal Power” by Christopher Mims at: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/iceland-geothermal-power/ Although I was not quoted accurately, the inference of the author was correct in its conclusion that use of supercritical steam remains one of the available methods of increasing thermal efficiency of steam power plants. Increasing such efficiencies also reduces the amount of green house gases produced per unit of power generated. Although the emission of greenhouse gases is not an issue when using geothermal energy, the use of supercritical steam will nevertheless allow the maximum utilisation of geothermal energy.I am delighted that Christopher Mims has found this book useful towards making use of Iceland’s geothermal reserves in an efficient manner. https://www.amazon.com/Thermodynamic-Properties-
