摘要： A process for producing power including injecting a first heat transfer fluid through an injection well to a geothermally-heated formation that contains a second heat transfer fluid. The first heat transfer fluid may then be heated via indirect heat exchange in an interwell run fluidly connected to the injection well and disposed within the geothermally-heated formation. The heated first heat transfer fluid may then be recovered through a production well fluidly connected to the interwell run. Thermal energy contained in the recovered heated first heat transfer fluid may then be converted in a power production unit fluidly connected to the injection well and the production well. The interwell run, in some embodiments, may include multiple heat exchange tubes disposed within a perforated casing or drill pipe.

摘要： A hybrid geothermal power system is discussed. The system includes a geothermal system including power plant (101) and pumping station (102) and a nuclear plant (103). Pumping station (102) is used to inject fluid from reservoir (104) through an injection well (105) into the bedrock (106) (also referred to as the hot dry rock HDR zone) and extracted via a secondary bore (extraction well) usually coupled to the power plant (101). In the present example however the injection well is linked to the extraction well (107). As fluid is injected into the bedrock a drop in temperature occurs due to heat transfer to the fluid. Nuclear plant (103) is utilized to combat this drop, the plant (103) has the fissionable components (1091, 1092, 1093) of the reactor positioned within bores (1081, 1082, 1083) within the HDR zone.

摘要： A heat is taken from a photovoltaic panel (1) using air that flows through the photovoltaic panel (1) unit with an air cooler (2). The unit has an air intake opening (3) and an outtake vent (4) and the air flow is enforced by a natural draft of a chimney (5), to which the photovoltaic panel (1) unit is connected to. At least a part of the chimney (5) is exposed to solar radiation. Outtake vents (4) of several photovoltaic panel (1) units can lead to one chimney (5), preferably through thermal collectors (6) and piping. The air in the chimney is warmed up by solar radiation, the air ascends towards the chimney (5) mouth and the chimney (5) natural draft created in this way enforces air flow within the photovoltaic panel (1) unit. Even the air cooler (2) of the sucked air can form part of the system—preferably in the form of a ground-coupled heat exchanger (9). The chimney (5) can be equipped with heat-absorbing surface and it can also have a supporting wind device transforming wind energy into a natural draft within the chimney (5).

摘要： Apparatus and method transfer heat between a geothermal mass and a geothermal heat exchange unit embedded within the geothermal mass, utilizing a geothermal heat exchange system comprised of the heat exchange unit. The unit includes a chamber enclosed by plate-like walls presenting a very large heat transfer area. The walls are spaced apart by a small distance compared to the heat transfer area, configuring the chamber to contain a thin, film-like volume of a liquid heat exchange medium. The heat exchange medium is flowed into and out of the chamber at a prescribed rate of flow, and the capacity of the chamber is such that the volume of heat exchange medium contained within the chamber during operation of the geothermal heat exchange system is great enough to enable the flowing heat exchange medium to mix with static, dwelled heat exchange medium maintained within the chamber as heat exchange medium flows through the chamber at the prescribed rate of flow and is circulated in the system.
