Design requirements for geothermal power plant:

1) Resource Assessment:
Conduct a thorough assessment of the geothermal resource,
including:
-temperature.
-depth.
-fluid characteristics.
to determine the potential for power generation.

2) Enthalpy:
When a substance gains heat, the kinetic energy of its
molecules rises and appears in the form of thermal energy,
and if a body loses heat, it reduces the kinetic energy of its
molecules.

3) Production and injection wells characteristics:


-larger in diameter than wells drilled by other industries,
-require specialized drilling practices.
-designed and completed differently depending on the type
of geothermal system.

4) Reservoir chemistry:
-The system of fractured and permeable rocks and the hot
water or steam trapped in that volume of rock.
- Proper flow testing required to determine scaling,
corrosion, and gas composition.
5) Environmental considerations:
Implement measures to minimize environmental impacts,
such as noise, emissions, and land disturbance, and comply
with regulatory requirements.

6) Surface Considerations:
-Careful assessment of area topography
-Importance of confirming suitable access for
production/injection wells locations.
-Cost considerations

7) Materials:
it is necessary to use materials resistant to harsh geological
and thermal conditions like:
-Titanium,
-Heat-resistant ceramics and glass
-Heat-resistant polymers
-Concrete
-High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE),
-Ductile Iron.

8) Safety and Monitoring Systems:


Incorporate safety measures and monitoring systems to
ensure the protection of workers, equipment, and the
surrounding environment, including seismic monitoring
and emergency shutdown procedures.
