Abstract
The operating histories and performance of a large (180 MWe) central condensing plant and five small (5 MWe) wellhead backpressure power plants are presented. The thermodynamic performance of the central plant is compared with an estimated possible performance based upon the work of Michaelides [2]. Both types of plant have been shown to be reliable despite some problems due to the contaminants which are associated with geothermal steam.
