Chen Song's desire to engage in geothermal power generation has nothing to do with the manor, he wants to supply energy to Yinyang Peak.

The estate can be powered by national electricity, and the price of electricity in Iceland is low, so it would be foolish for anyone to invest in private power generation by themselves.

Some time ago, he learned about the problem of wind power generation, about a month ago the government wanted to invest in the construction of large windmill wind turbines in the town, but the townspeople resisted because of the destruction of the vegetation environment.

As the highest point of the Hufu Mountains, Yinyang Peak naturally blows the mountain wind all year round, and if a big windmill is erected on the top of the mountain, it can really generate electricity.

But this idea was difficult to implement, and the big windmills were assembled and brought to the town in large trucks and cranes, and he could not bring them with him.

Besides, even if he had a way to bring it, it would not be easy to bring it, and he couldn't buy a big windmill with his front foot and then disappear with his back foot, right? The big windmill target is too big to explain once it disappears.

In this way, a small geothermal power station has become his new target, and the Jinwu Pond on the Yinyang Peak is not an ordinary hot spring, and the water in some areas of the pond is very hot.

A few days ago, he specially learned about geothermal power generation projects, if you want to build a power station, the investment is also very large, you need to build cooling towers, you need to build pumping stations, you need to build the main body of the power plant, and so on.

Chen Song definitely can't build a power station, and he can't move to Jiuzhou if he does, so he can only focus on the electric heat converter in this case.

Although the geothermal well engineer is not an electrical expert, he is also a boss of the mixed construction site after all, and he knows something about the electric heat conversion machine, so he introduced it to Chen Song.

Geothermal power generation is the most important way of geothermal utilization, and the first application of high-temperature geothermal fluids in modern research is power generation.

This aspect is the same as the principle of thermal power generation, which uses the thermal energy of steam to convert into mechanical energy in a steam turbine, and then drives a generator to generate electricity.

The difference is that geothermal power generation does not require huge boilers and does not consume fuel, unlike thermal power generation, and it uses geothermal heat and water vapor.

Iceland is rich in geothermal energy and has been committed to the use of this energy, so the scientific research level of electric heat converter here is at the top of the world, and the electric thermal energy giants of Asia, Europe and the United States have been dug up by Iceland.

On the same day, Chen Song purchased a set of heat and power conversion machines through the geothermal well engineering team, and the machines were delivered before they left Iceland for Greenland.

As the engineer said, the machine itself is less than 20 million crowns, which is not expensive, but the shipping cost is expensive, a full 5 million crowns, and the assembly fee is also very expensive, which is the same as the price of the machine.

Chen Song understands that the labor cost in Iceland is particularly expensive, and it is not an exaggeration that the assembly cost of the electric heat conversion machine is equal to the value of the machine, and the assembly of some machines is called an exaggeration.

For example, the price of air conditioning in Iceland is almost around 100,000 kroner, but its installation cost is more than 200,000 kronor or even 300,000 kroner, and the installation fee is two or three times more expensive than itself!

This kind of national conditions has developed the habit of Icelandic men who are willing to do it, and they buy air conditioners to install them according to the manual, and rarely spend money to ask the manufacturer to install them after sale.

But the electric heat converter is not good, this Chen Song can't assemble it according to the manual, and he has to spend money to hire a technician arranged by the manufacturer to be responsible.

From the name, the electric heat conversion machine has a scientific and technological taste, after all, it involves the problem of energy form conversion.

From a technological point of view, it is not so mysterious, the principle is very simple, that is, the underground thermal energy is first converted into mechanical energy, and then the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

Chen Song's lack of understanding of it is because he has never been exposed to such equipment in China before, and if he replaces the machine with a gasoline generator or a diesel generator, then he has the confidence to play with it.

Of course, an electric heat converter is more high-tech than gasoline and diesel generators, and its high-tech aspect lies in the initial energy harvesting process.

Gasoline and diesel are energy sources in their own right, and when they are put into generators, they are converted into electricity.

Geothermal energy needs a carrier to show it, so to use underground thermal energy, it is first necessary to have a carrier heat body to bring it to the ground and then feed it into the converter.

This machine is called a flash evaporator, and its task is to depressurize and flash the geothermal water from the geothermal wellhead to produce some steam, and then send it to a conventional steam turbine for power generation.

However, it is easy to say that there are still many scientific and technological projects involved in the invention of such a machine, and many geothermal energy utilization technologies have been blocked by Iceland until now.

In 2015, the world's largest single geothermal power plant went into commercial operation in Kenya, and the construction of the geothermal power project, called Orkaria, was halted during the construction period due to an international lawsuit with Iceland.

Iceland has sent a team of experts to provide technical support for the Olkaria project, and later Kenya has hired relevant teams from China, Japan, South Korea and other countries, and Iceland believes that they have leaked their technology, and have launched a protracted international legal battle for this.

Unlike a gasoline generator, an electric heat exchanger is a large machine that is divided into four parts, each of which is the size of a pickup truck.

Chen Song was able to buy it for 20 million kroner because the Icelandic government is promoting a geothermal energy project, and the electric heat exchanger is subsidized by the state, and the subsidy amount is more than he paid.

Even so, the manufacturer's profit is not large, so they issue high transportation costs and installation costs, which are bundled with the machine itself, and the buyer cannot choose independently.

He didn't know the specific technology involved in the electric heat exchanger, but what he did know was that when the machine was installed on a geothermal well, it could indeed produce electricity, with a rated power of 400 kilowatts.

This power is large enough, and most of the rated power of common civilian diesel generators on the market is smaller than this, basically 75 kilowatts to 200 kilowatts.

After the machine was assembled, Chen Song asked the technician to disassemble it according to the module, and then he found someone to send it to the warehouse, on the grounds that it could not be used for the time being.

Bruce was not surprised by this, and he explained to Chen Song, saying that he was a survivalist and was always worried about encountering the end of the world.

Chen Song is so misunderstood, he often needs to purchase materials in large quantities, and survivalists can be an excellent cover identity for him.

On the night of the arrival of the electric heat converter, Chen Song opened the light gate and went to Yinyang Peak, and then asked Sun Changgong to arrange for people to start digging geothermal wells on the mountain.

Since the water temperature of Jinwutan can be maintained stably, there must be abundant geothermal energy underneath it.

It is difficult to dig a geothermal well in the mountains, but Chen Song has no choice, the situation in Jiuzhou is too bad now, and there will be demon beasts coming out to make trouble at night, so electricity must be needed to provide support.
