| Abstract | This paper introduces new technologies applied to large capacity geothermal turbines (such as SMUDGEO #1, 78,000 kW and PG&E the Geysers Unit 21, 150,850 kW) for greater efficiently and reliability. The operating experiences in SMUDGEO #1 are also introduced, because this power plant actually realized high efficiency and reliability than existing units in the Geysers, California, U.S.A. |
