| Abstract | Krafla Geothermal Power Station has been operated for 27 years for power production by geothermal steam from Krafla high temperature geothermal field in Northeast Iceland. In this paper, the operational case history is described with main focus on experienced plant availability and reliability and necessary improvements on the original design, for example chemistry of the cooling water, gas extraction and blow-out systems and finally the steam blow out facilities and their noise reduction efficiency. |
