Pre-conference training course
Geothermal Power Economics “101”
Geothermal Resources, Technologies & Economics:
A 1-day introduction for non-engineers.
Course objectives
This one-day training course is designed to introduce the basics of geothermal power – the resource and the methods of harnessing it – along with its competitive positioning within the power and energy markets. In addressing the latter, the course will also briefly cover the fundamental concepts governing the supply and demand of power/energy, including the basics of power grids and the factors which determine popular economic measures such as levelised electricity cost (all with particular reference to geothermal as compared with other power sources, both fossil and renewable).
The course can be attended as a stand-alone session or as an excellent way to introduce yourself to geothermal power before attending the "GeoPower Europe" conference on the following days.
