Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Future Trends of Hybrid Energy Systems(Elsevier, 2024) Taheri, M.H.; Seiiedhoseiny, M.; Mohammadpourfard, M.; Akkurt, G.G.Hybrid energy systems can be defined as a combination of at least two fuel sources or energy conversion equipment that, when combined, can eliminate the constraints related to every single component. In addition to the application of multiple renewable energy sources, the improvement of energy efficiency via multi-generation plants constitutes a significant share of the recent investigations, which would include a prominent part of the future trend in hybrid energy systems. The present chapter will review the pioneer works and tries to address the future of hybrid energy systems. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

In the geothermal industry a common practice involves installing ESPs below the well's flashing depth. This placement approach aims to mitigate the risk of mineral precipitation, which can occur when hot geothermal fluids transition to a two-phase state (liquid and vapor) as pressure decreases. Positioning the pump below the flashing depth also prevents pump's underloading and gas cavitation. The inhibitor injection line usually integrated around the ESP string and installed downstream of the ESP motor. However, this standard practice introduces a challenge regarding inhibitor performance. While this placement ensures effective distribution of inhibitors throughout the production flow, the extended travel time from the surface to the point of application at the ESP can diminish inhibitor effectiveness due to continuous exposure to high temperatures throughout the wellbore. This study proposes relocating the inhibitor injection point within the production tubing closer to the flashing depth. This reduces inhibitor travel time from 108 min to 48 min and has the potential to significantly improve inhibitor effectiveness. Consequently, the implementation of capillary tubing is anticipated to yield annual cost savings per wellbore of approximately USD 10,000, coupled with the mitigation of mineral deposits within the studied well equipped with ESP. To evaluate this approach, a wellbore simulation tool and PHREEQC were employed to dynamically model the pressure and temperature profiles alongside the geochemical evolution of the produced fluids in the wellbore. This modeling approach offers significant value by potentially enabling the optimization of inhibitor usage and reducing the length of required inhibitor injection line. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Numerical Modeling of the Co2 Injection in the Kızıldere Geothermal Field Using Multiple Inter-Well Tracer Tests(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Sevindik,D.B.; Erol,S.; Akin,S.Many geothermal power plants in Turkey emit high amounts of non-condensable gas (NCG), consisting mainly of CO2. Thus, it is crucial to mitigate the NCG emissions by re-injecting the captured gas back into the reservoir. In this study, a numerical sector reservoir model is developed to inspect how the reinjected NCG dissipates in the reservoir for successful sequestration. To accurately characterize the flow characteristics in the reservoir, chloride concentrations observed at the production wells were matched. Furthermore, two multi-well slug tracer tests (one with NCG injection well and one from the northernmost shallow injection well by using different naphthalene-sulphonates) results have been used to calibrate the numerical model. Consequently, a high degree of quantitative and qualitative characterization of the reservoir section near the injection site has been achieved. Using the calibrated model, the impact of CO2-brine injection has been studied for different injection scenarios with varying injection rates and durations. The results of the CO2-charged brine injection showed that approximately 20 % of the injected CO2 circulates in the reservoir, ensuring reduced CO2 emissions. It has been estimated that 200 Mt of CO2 emission can be safely removed if all injection wells are used for NCG re-injection. © 2024Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 41Assessment of Geothermal Energy Use With Thermoelectric Generator for Hydrogen Production(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2021) Hadjiat, M. M.; Hancıoğlu, Ebru; Mraoui, A.; Ouali, S.; Hancıoğlu Kuzgunkaya, Ebru; Salhi, K.; Ouali, A. Ait; Benaouda, N.In this work, a new model for producing hydrogen from a low enthalpy geothermal source was presented. Thermal energy from geothermal sources can be converted into electric power by using thermoelectric modules instead of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) machines, especially for low geothermal temperatures. This electrical energy uses the water electrolysis process to produce hydrogen. Simulation and experiments for the thermoelectric module in this system were undertaken to assess the efficiency of these models. TRNSYS software is used to simulate the system in Hammam Righa spa, the temperature of this spring is 70 degrees C. Obtained results reveal that in hammam righa spa in Algeria, 0.5652 Kg hydrogen per square meter of thermoelectric generator (TEG) can be produced in one year.

A high-pressure autoclave was used to conduct water-rock interaction experiments under similar conditions of the field. Rainwater and seawater were treated with volcanic rocks at 140 degrees C (reservoir temperature) and 4.5 bar pressure. The change in the ionic content of the resulting fluids was examined in terms of the type of volcanic rocks and mineral saturation index. The results indicate that talc and diopside minerals in geothermal systems may cause scaling at high temperatures depending on the geothermal fluid and pH.
