| Abstract | There are various abundant renewable energy resources in Tibet. They can satisfy the local demand of power generation. Hydropower can bear the main part of power generation. But small flow rate at winter could not ensure a full load generation. However, high temperature geothermal resources can generate a full load electric power there. It can make up for the deficiency of hydropower especially in winter. Geothermal space heating either transporting waste hot water from Yangbajain geothermal power plant or using ground source heat pump, has ability to supply winter space heating for the whole buildings in Lhasa. |
