Alaşehir geothermal area that is located in southern part of the Alaşehir Graben is one the important geothermal areas in Turkey. Currently, more than 6 operators are exploiting this field on a strictly competitive, and largely confidential, basis without significant exchange of resource information among them. This paper discusses monitoring of the response of part of Alaşehir geothermal system to large scale exploitation. In this regard, temperature and pressure of the reservoir, steam flowrate, brine flowrate, inflow performance relation curve of production wells, non-condensable gas content, chloride and silica content of produced fluid will be reported. Significant decrease of non-condensable gas will be discussed. Some practical experiences about reservoir monitoring will be shared. Finally, evaluation of the aforementioned parameters will be discussed.

Numerical simulation of germencik geothermal field
Hamendi, Ahmed; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2009)
The Germencik Omerbeyli geothermal field is considered to be one of the most important geothermal fields in Turkey. A numerical modeling study was carried out to simulate the response of the field to different production/injection scenarios. The reservoir performance evaluation was based on the numerical simulation of the reservoir behavior using the simulation code TOUGH2. The numerical simulation model includes a total area of 85.8 km2 and extends from the surface at +330 m msl (mean sea level) to a depth...

Alaşehir geothermal area located in Alaşehir Graben, West Anatolia – Turkey is the current target for geothermal field development. Currently, more than 6 operators are developing the power capacity in this field on a strictly competitive, and largely confidential, basis without significant exchange of resource information among them. Although there are three binary and a combined flash-binary power plants with widely changing power generation efficiency between plants, additional new plant capacity will be...

Fractal Modeling of Outcrop Fracture Patterns in Alasehir Geothermal Reservoir Turkey
Gürel, Emrah; Coşkuner, Yakup Berk; Akın, Serhat (2016-02-24)
Alasehir geothermal area located in Gediz graben is the current high enthalpy geothermal target in Turkey. The geothermal system mainly produces from fractured Paleozoic Menderes metamorphics. In order to characterize the fractured reservoir formations, marble and schist outcrop fracture networks were identified and traced using image analysis software. Primary and secondary fracture histograms were developed and box counting method was used to calculate fractal dimension. It was observed that for both form...
Thermal Modeling and Verification of PV Module Temperature and Energy Yield Using Outdoor Measurements for Ankara, Turkey
Tuncel, Bilge; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; ÖZDEN, TALAT; Balog, Robert S (2018-11-14)
Ankara is in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey where the climate is dry-continental with an annual solar insolation of around 1750 kWh/m(2). In the transition to renewable energy, detailed analyses are required to ensure effective and economic utilization of the available solar resource. An essential part of these analyses is to calculate expected energy yield. For photovoltaic (PV) systems, this includes the effect of temperature on the PV efficiency, which determines the power yield of the PV modules....
