| Abstract | In order to slow down adverse global anthropogenic effects such as global climate change and the destruction of ecosystems, alternative energy sources that are clean, renewable, and efficient are needed to replace the existing energy sources. Double Energy Input is a novel invention that gathers two renewable energy resources: hydro-electrical power and geothermal power. This invention utilises the sea as its reservoir, the dam is a wall of a big pit hole, and in the base of such pit, we will use the geothermal power for ridding off the water. This model is designed to generate between 1,200 – 1,500 MW of power in the hydro-electrical phase and will generate about 4.86 tons of salt per second. An additional 800 MW of energy will be produced by supercharging the hot water at the bottom with heat and pressure and running a vapour power plant. This model provides an alternative means for producing clean and renewable energy with two abundant resources, sea-water and geothermal heat. |
