Abstract:
This thesis is Geothermal energy and the prospect of Bangladesh.We can not believe that electricity
is central to our modern life without electricity.There is a wide gap between electricity generation an
d demand in this country.With required statistical data,various sources of power such as gas,coal,
wind,solar,hydro,biomass etc studied in this study.There has been comprehensive study onexisting p
ower plants.Gas, coal, oil, power plant related, primarily power generation capability used fuels,
present generation status have been considered.Geothermal powerplant technical characteristicsalong
with protection, risks, radiation effects etc have been addressed.Geothermal powerplant feasibility in
Bangladesh has also been studied by comparing power generation at different plant.I'm addressing
various Bangladesh scenarios and the demand capacity generation of different powerplants in this re
search paper.One of the essential sources of our power production could geothermal power plants. T
he electricity demand be met by geothermal power plants.Most incidents oftenoccur in geothermal p
ower plants,so ensuring safety and security is very necessary.
Bangladesh is a developing country and she has to meet the huge energy demand for her massive
population giving only 63% of total population the access to electricity. Due to her limited nonrenewable energy resources like coal, oil, and others, she needs to face the challenge looking forward
to the scope for the renewable energy resources where geothermal energy can be a good choice. It has
the potential to run long term and can provide base-load energy, at the same time it helps to reduce the
greenhouse gas emissions. It is found almost everywhere on earth. The resources of geothermal energy
range from shallow ground to hot water or hot rock, which can be found few kilometers below the
surface and even deeper to magma where the temperature is extremely high. Since its discovery from
the ancient times, many technologies have been developed to understand or use geothermal energy
properly. In Bangladesh, by using low-temperature system with Organic Rankine Cycle method can
be possible to generate electricity with a sufficient efficiency for a long term.
