Abstract

Renewable power generation is rapidly increasing due to the depletion and unfavorable environmental impact of fossil fuels. Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy that can be effectively used for electric power generation. Besides, geothermal power provides considerable advantages compared to other renewable resources such as solar and wind power. Geothermal energy provides reliable, stable and efficient power compared to the lack of inertia, lack of efficiency and the intermittent nature of solar and wind resources. Moreover, geothermal power plants must be integrated with energy storage devices to improve the stability and flexibility of the power system. Gravity-fed energy storage and flywheel energy storage systems are two reliable technologies that can be integrated with geothermal power for improved stability and flexibility. Furthermore, the disadvantages of geothermal energy such as higher initial cost and geographic dependency can be compensated using recent research and developments in the geothermal technology. These recent developments include enhanced geothermal systems, small-scale geothermal power generation and geothermal power generation using abandoned oil and gas wells. Therefore, geothermal energy has the potential to become a major power generating source in the future

地热能在未来发电中的应用综述

由于化石燃料的枯竭和对环境的不利影响，可再生能源发电正在迅速增加。地热能是一种可再生能源，可以有效地用于发电。此外，与太阳能和风能等其他可再生能源相比，地热能具有相当大的优势。与缺乏惯性、缺乏效率和间歇性的太阳能和风能资源相比，地热能提供可靠、稳定和高效的电力。此外，地热发电厂必须与储能装置相结合，以提高电力系统的稳定性和灵活性。重力供能储能系统和飞轮储能系统是两种可靠的技术，可以与地热发电相结合，提高稳定性和灵活性。此外，地热能的缺点，如较高的初始成本和地理依赖性，可以利用地热技术的最新研究和发展来弥补。这些最近的发展包括增强型地热系统、小型地热发电和利用废弃的油气井进行地热发电。因此，地热能有可能成为未来主要的发电来源
