| Abstract | The Southern California Edison Company's Salton Sea Geothermal Electric Project is the second of two flash steam projects located in the Imperial Valley of California to successfully demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing steam from highly saline geothermal fluids for electric power generation. The objective of Edison's Power Plant Unit I Program at the Salton Sea KGRA is to developed design, operation, and economic criteria for commercial geothermal developments into Imperial valley of California. the Edison plant is designed specifically for utilization of geothermal steam and employs principles found in conventional fossil fueled electric generating plants. This plant serves as a model of a full scale commercial plant, using systems and components which likely will be utilized in large scale follow on units. |
