Inhaltsangabe

Ultra-Deep Supercritical Geothermal Engineering
Volume III : Power Cycles, Digital Twins, Economics, and Industrial Deployment
Accessing Earth's deepest heat is only the beginning. The true engineering challenge lies in converting that energy into reliable, efficient, and economically sustainable power systems.
Ultra-Deep Supercritical Geothermal Engineering – Volume III completes the trilogy by exploring the design, optimization, and deployment of next-generation geothermal energy systems. Building upon the scientific foundations of Volume I and the drilling and reservoir engineering of Volume II, this volume presents a comprehensive treatment of geothermal power conversion, intelligent plant operation, digital engineering, economic evaluation, and large-scale industrial implementation.
Integrating thermodynamics, power engineering, systems engineering, digital twins, artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance, lifecycle analysis, and techno-economic optimization, the book demonstrates how modern geothermal facilities evolve from isolated power plants into intelligent, data-driven energy infrastructures capable of delivering reliable baseload electricity for decades.
Inside this volume, readers will explore:

• Advanced geothermal power cycles, including Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), flash steam, binary, and supercritical systems
• Heat exchangers, turbines, condensers, and plant design
• Digital twins and real-time geothermal plant monitoring
• Artificial intelligence for predictive maintenance and operational optimization
• Reservoir management and long-term performance assessment
• Techno-economic analysis, Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and investment evaluation
• Environmental assessment, lifecycle sustainability, and regulatory considerations
• Industrial deployment strategies for utility-scale geothermal energy systems

Written for graduate students, researchers, geothermal engineers, power plant designers, mechanical engineers, energy-system specialists, consultants, and industry professionals, this volume combines rigorous engineering principles with practical implementation strategies to provide a comprehensive reference for the next generation of geothermal power infrastructure.
As the concluding volume of the Frontiers in Advanced Energy Engineering series, this book brings together physics, engineering, computational intelligence, and systems optimization into a unified framework for transforming one of Earth's most abundant natural resources into resilient, sustainable energy systems.
From understanding the Earth's heat… to engineering access… to building the power systems of tomorrow.
