The low-medium enthalpy geothermal power plant at Lahendong, Indonesia.

The 500kW Lahendong binary cycle geothermal power plant is the first low-medium enthalpy generation system commenced in Indonesia. The pilot plant was established through technology research collaboration among BPPT, GFZ and PT. Geothermal Energy. The proven ORC unit is built by a German industry, where heating and cooling systems are manufactured by national industries. Construction and installation of the pilot plant was completed in 2016. Since September 2017, the pilot plant has continued to operate. The main target of the Indonesian-German cooperation is to disseminate the binary cycle technology throughout Indonesia. This paper discusses operating experience of the plant 500kW during the past six-month period. As a result, to achieve the design conditions (500 kW gross and 424.2 kW net), further work needs to be done. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
