Geothermal Technology Marketing Summaries

This device can measure subsurface gases, liquids, and solids at subsurface conditions. Atomic identification and concentration measurements can be made on solids, liquids, and gases at down hole pressure and temperature conditions.

As the use of renewable energy sources increase, there is an increasing need for power converters capable of efficiently converting a diverse input of energy sources to a form suitable for insertion into modern electrical grid systems.  Current renewable energy conversion systems are bulky, inefficient, and generally incapable of efficiently accepting multiple inputs from a diverse pool of energy sources, such as produced by modern, renewable photovoltaic, geothermal and wind energy... read more

Geothermal resources, the steam and water that lie below the earth’s surface, have the potential to supply vast amounts of clean energy. But continuing to produce geothermal power efficiently and economically requires innovative adjustments to the technology used to process it.

In the late 1990s, the pressure of geothermal steam at The Geysers (A geothermal plant in northern California) was falling, reducing the output of its power plants. NREL partnered with Pacific Gas and... read more

Update Thermodynamic Databases for Modeling Geochemical Processes

The DBCreate software quickly and accurately updates thermodynamic databases used in geochemical modeling, based on changes in temperatures and pressures. The software facilitates the production of pressure, temperature and problem specific geochemical thermodynamic databases conveniently and quickly while minimizing the possibility of introducing errors caused by manual entry.
