The future of energy in New Zealand

Where our energy comes from. Around 60% of New Zealand''s energy is supplied by fossil fuels. Once energy losses and distribution are taken into account, fossil fuels make up about 70% of our total final consumption. This includes petrol and diesel for vehicles, coal and gas for industrial boilers and household gas and LPG.

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate ORC systems and technologies from an energy and economic perspective. ORC systems are a growing renewable electricity generation technology, but New Zealand has limited local skills and expertise for identifying ORC resource opportunities and subsequently developing suitable technologies at low cost.

Organic Rankine Cycle Configurations

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), has become a preferred means of exploiting low to moderate enthalpy geothermal resources. It has been widely used to utilize the brine in existing single flash plants and in many other applications as an efficient and reliable way of employing a geothermal resource, in the form of brine only or brine and low

Power plant profile: Mokai Geothermal Power Plant, New Zealand

Mokai Geothermal Power Plant is an 111MW geothermal power project. It is located in Waikato, New Zealand. According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants worldwide, the project is currently active. It has been developed in multiple phases. Post completion of construction, the project got commissioned in February 2000.

Development of a low temperature geothermal organic

ORC uses an organic fluid in a closed loop Rankine Cycle. The four main components of the ORC are the feed pump, vaporizer, expander, and condenser. New Zealand currently uses a number of ORCs for generating electricity from geothermal heat. The ORCs in New Zealand utilize moderate temperature geothermal fluids with temperatures of 150°C and

MODELLING OF AN ORC UNIT OF A GEOTHERMAL POWER

Therefore, these plants are of the utmost importance to New Zealand''s power supply system. New Zealand has fixed a target to increase the proportion of electricity generation from renewable energy sources to 90% by 2025 (Ministry of Economic Development 2007 b). Geothermal energy will be one of the major tools in achieving this goal.
