| Abstract | Results of estimation of promising thermal waters potential for a number of regions of Ukraine suitable for future cogeneration plants exploitation is presented. The potential has been estimated using generalized method of boreholes for the condition of formational pressure maintained by reinjection. Heat capacity of the cogeneration plants was calculated. The estimated commercially viable geothermal resource of Ukraine are about 20-30 million cu.m/day of geothermal waters having temperature higher than 60oC. This makes it possible to build geothermal power installations with total capacity of more that 50 thous. MW. |
