CASCADED USE OF THE GEOTHERMAL WATER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ORADEA. THE SCADA SYSTEM

The University of Oradea and the National Geothermal Research Center, as part of the University, achieves a national demonstration and research geothermal power plant emphasizing on geothermal energy utilization. The geothermal system at the University of Oradea were improved considerably. Until 1995, the well potential were not utilized at maximum capacity, causing severe energy losses. Based on this situation, a project for modification of the existing system started. A part of these modifications is to implement an automatic control system for the whole system, which will ensure the optimum use of the energy of the geothermal water.
