Assessment of geothermal resources like other earth resources is a starting point for decision makers or stakeholders to set up basic plan on its development and R&D policies. In this context, there have been various works on world geothermal assessment, to report different estimates from each other. In this paper, we first introduce the definition of geothermal potential mainly adopted from the article by Muffler and Cataldi (1978) and then summarize the estimates made so far referring the work by Bertani (2003). An updated estimates by Stefansson (2005) are also reviewed in terms of identified resources separately for high-temperature resources for power generation and low-temperature ones for direct-use. Recent estimate of US geothermal resources by MIT (2006) using a volumetric method with extensively accumulated data base is discussed. Finally, we introduce the first geothermal assessment in Korea recently made and discuss its importance.

This paper presents a basic energy performance data of micro gas turbine, Renewable Energy(BIPV and Solar Collector System, geothermal system) and a hybrid energy system(geothermal system and microturbine) installed in Hospital Building. The efficiency of solar collector and BIPV system was 30%, 10% individually, and lower than micro gas turbines. Micro gas turbines are small gas turbines that bum gaseous and liquid fuels to produce a high-energy exhaust gas and to generate the electrical power. Recently, the size range for micro gas turbines is form 30 to 500kW and power-only generation or in combined heat and power(CHP) systems. Finally, in energy performance aspect, Micro gas turbine system and hybrid energy system were high-efficiency system in hospital building. Hybrid energy system also give us a powerful alternative energy system economically.

In many cases, geothemal wells will not be opened up a geothermal reservoir under such conditions that an extraction of geothermal energy is economically viable without any further measures. Geothermal wells often have to be stimulated, in order to increase productivity. For the non-volcanic area, such as Korea, the hydraulic stimulation is necessary to complete geothermal power plant. The analysis of induced seismic event showed that the thermal resource might have a much wider extent and a much higher generation potential than previously assumed. In order to record compressional and shear waves emitted during fracture stimulation, three-component geophones are placed in a seismometer. The recorded data from one seismometer is the convolution of the source magnitude, the transmission media, and the sensitivity of the instrument.

PV module power is calculated on PV module surface temperature adjustment by irradiation on the summer and autumn in NOCT(Nominal Operating Cell Temperature) conditions. The summer and autumn periods were selected because of large variation in outdoor air temperature and irradiation. This study was performed to understand relationship between PV module surface temperature and photovoltaic power using field measurement. As a results, it was determined that the amount of irradiation was proportional to the amount of photovoltaic power in the field measurement. However, it was also identified that the PV power generation decreased by increased PV module surface temperatures due to irradiation.

A test unit for Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power generation system was developed and experimentally reviewed the performance of the ORC system. Two different organic fluids (R-245fa & Novec 649) were tested as working fluids for the system. System behavior was measured and analyzed along with the variables, such as temperature, pressure, rpm and shaft power. It is one of the findings that Novec 649 fluid is to be less pressurized than R-245fa in order to up to the heat source (boiler) capacity, that limits the experiment as high as 2 kW in shaft power.

The potential deep geothermal resources span a wide range of heat sources from the earth, including not only the more easily developed, currently economic hydrothermal resources; but also the earth's deeper, stored thermal energy, which is present anywhere. At shallow depths of 3,000~10,000m, the coincidence of substantial amounts heat in hot rock, fluids that heat up while flowing through the rock and permeability of connected fractures can result in natural hot water reservoirs. Although conventional hydrothermal resources which contain sufficient fluids at high temperatures and geo-pressures are used effectively for both electric and nonelectric applications in the world, they are somewhat limited in their location and ultimate potential for supplying electricity. A large portion of the world's geothermal resource base consists of hot dry rock(HDR) with limited permeability and porosity, an inadquate recharge of fluids and/or insufficient water for heat transport. An alternative known as engineered or enhanced geothermal systems(EGS), to dependence on naturally occurring hydrothermal reservoirs involves human intervention to engineer hydrothermal reservoirs in hot rocks for commercial use. Therefore EGS resources are with enormous potential for primary energy recovery using an engineered heat mining technology, which is designed to extract and utilize the earth's stored inexthermal energy. Because EGS resources have a large potential for the long term, United States focused his effort to provide 100GW of 24-hour-a-day base load electric-generating capacity by 2050.

지열에너지는 여러 신재생에너지원 중에서도 기저부하를 담당할 수 있는 중요한 자원으로 인식되고 있다. 국내에서도 천부지열을 이용한 지열냉난방은 효율 높은 신재생에너지 활용 사업으로 그 보급이 활성화 되어 있다. 반면, 전세계적으로 지열 발전 기술이 진일보하고, 그 시장이 크게 확대되고 있는 상황에서 아직까지 국내의 심부 지열을 이용한 지열 발전 기술은 낮은 단계에 머무르고 있다. 이러한 조건에서 2010년 12월에 국내 최초의 EGS(Enhanced Geothermal System) 지열 발전 상용화 기술 개발 과제가 착수되었다. 총 5개년의 기간으로 수행되는 이 과제는 2단계로 구분되어 진행될 계획이다. 처음 2년의 1단계에서는 3 km 심도에서 최소 $100^{\circ}C$의 지열저류층 온도를 확인하는 것을 주요 과제 내용으로 하여 지중 지열수 순환시스템의 설계가 이루어질 예정이다. 이후 3년을 통해 수행될 2단계에서는 5 km 심도의 생산정과 주입정 등 두 개의 지열발전정을 설치하고, 수리자극을 통하여 온도 $180^{\circ}C$의 지열저류층에서 유량 40 kg/s 이상의 지열수를 활용하는 MW급 지열발전소를 건립 운영하게 된다. 이 사업을 성공적으로 추진하기 위하여 현재 지질, 수리지질, 지구물리, 암석역학, 플랜트 엔지니어링 등 다양한 분야의 산학연 연구 기관 등이 망라되어 연구진을 구성한 상태이며, 이후 관심있는 여러 기관과 연구자들의 지원과 참여를 기대하고 있다.

The Waikato River is New Zealand's longest River, though relatively small on international scales. It drains the central North Island and has New Zealand's largest lake (Lake Taupo) at its headwaters. The upper reaches have sustained flows fed by large aquifers which are recharged by rainfall events providing relatively constant river flows, whereas the lower reaches respond more directly to rainfall events having more peaky flows after rainfall and extreme low flows during dry periods. Consumptive allocation from the river is relatively low with only about 3% of the mean annual flow being allocated. However, more than seven times the river's flow is allocated for non-consumptive purposes before discharging to the Tasman Sea. The majority of this non-consumptive allocation is for hydro power generation and as cooling water at both thermal and geothermal power stations which produce up to 25% of New Zealand's electricity. The upper half of the river has been heavily modified with the construction of eight dams for power generation. This has resulted in a succession of cascading dams replacing the previously uncontrolled river. The Waikato River also provides drinking water for Auckland City (NZ's largest city) and Hamilton City (NZ's 4th largest city). In recent years there has also been considerable growth in water requirements for pasture irrigation to support the intensification of dairy farming in the catchment. Operators of the power stations are concerned that any further consumptive allocation will further reduce their ability to generate electricity. The Waikato Regional Council, who is charged with managing the river and allocation of water, has recently set new rules for managing the conflicting allocation demands on the Waikato River. This has resulted in an end to further allocation of water where it results in a loss of water for electricity generation from renewable resources (fresh water and geothermal water). The exception to this is the prioritisation of water for municipal supplies ahead of other consumptive uses such as industries and irrigators.

1984년 프랑스 Soultz-sous-For$\hat{e}$ts 지역에서 시작된 Soultz 프로젝트는 2007년 11월에 1.5 MW급 Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) binary 발전 설비가 완성되기까지 20여년에 걸쳐 인공 지열저류층 생성기술(EGS; Enhaced Geothermal System) 개발을 위한 다양한 실험과 연구가 이루어져, 그 축적된 기술은 호주의 Cooper basin, 독일의 Landau, Insheim 등의 지열발전 프로젝트에 활용되고 있다. 우리나라의 포항에서도 현재 지열발전 프로젝트가 진행되고 있는 시점에서 이 보고에서는 지열저류층 생성 측면에서 Soultz에서의 경험을 살펴보았다. 포항의 경우, 지질학적인 측면에서 Soultz의 환경과 유사한 부분이 많으며 따라서, Soultz에서의 경험과 know-how를 잘 연구하고 개선하여 적용한다면 불필요한 시행착오나 시간적, 경제적인 낭비요소를 배제할 수 있을 것이며, 이 보고가 그에 보탬이 되기를 기대한다.
