An Energy Accounting Evaluation of Several Alternatives for Hydropower and Geothermal Development
Alternative management strategies for hydropower and geothermal development are myriad. The approach taken in this study is based on the notion of optimum deployment of finite resources. A legitimate question which this study has attempted to address is: Does the construction of large water management facilities, such as hydropower dams, which involve huge amounts of energy, concrete, and steel, constitute an efficient use of basic resources. An energy accounting analysis technique is proposed; and, using this procedure, energy resource inputs are examined and compared for specific hydropower dams and geothermal power plants.
