ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two countries that have used modular approach more extensively are Kenya in Africa and Iceland. It examines the use of modular approach for recovery of geothermal heat in other parts of the world. Geothermal sites in Kenya are found in remote locations; off-grid, and hence, diesel generators are used to provide power to the drilling rigs. The integration of small geothermal power projects with agribusiness and tourism is rapidly growing in popularity. Geothermal resources exist under various geological conditions; shallow/deep, magmatic/amagmatic, or identified/hidden. The risk of cooling of the production well by short-circuiting of injected water, a common concern in both enhanced geothermal system and conventional geothermal projects, is significantly reduced by preheating of the injected water. A single Triple-E module consists of a central production well surrounded by several highly deviated ultra-slim injection holes; a large project would consist of multiple adjacent modules.
