ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Installed geothermal generating capacity (December 2009) in MW

Fang

0.3

A small (300 kW) binary-cycle power plant has been commissioning in 1989 in Fang.

This plant has operated successfully, with an 85-90% availability factor. In addition, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is using the 80oC exhaust from the power plant to demonstrate direct heat uses to the local population.

DIRECT USES

Total thermal installed capacity in MWt:	2.54
Direct use in TJ/year	79.1
Direct use in GWh/year	22.0
Capacity factor	0.99

No country update papers were submitted for either WGC2005 or WGC2010.

Based on communications from Praserdvigai (2005), an estimate of 2.54 MWt and 79.1 TJ/yr are currently installed and being utilized at a 0.3 MWe binary plant at Fang in Chiang-Mai province. A small crop-drying facility and air-conditioning unit are utilizing the exhaust from the power plant.

The distribution of use is

0.04 MWt and 0.3 TJ/yr for crop drying and
2.5 MWt and 78.8 TJ/yr for bathing and swimming,

for a total of 2.54 MWt and 79.1 TJ/yr.
