| Abstract | There is a lack of conventional energy resources in Tibet, China. But various renewable energy resources are abundant there. Hydropower is the main source of electricity in Tibet. It has great potential. But its limitation is serious inadequacy of water flow in winter. Tibet owns high temperature geothermal resources. Geothermal power generation can make up for the deficiency of hydropower especially in winter. Geothermal can also give play to strong points in space heating in winter. So in Tibet we’ll create such an energy structure, which is supported by renewable energy. |
