KAPS

KAPS Kaldara Power Systems are container based geothermal units that can operate stand-alone and are also capable of working together in geothermal power farms. Because of small sizes KAPS can be more easily adopted to the environment than large power plant structures. KAPS on-surface units can be used for all types of Wet/Dry and Binary/Flash Geothermal Systems. The KAPS concept is to place a miniature power house in standard sized containers next to the production boreholes. The containers could be placed hidden into hillside areas or placed underground to avoid offensive structures in the environment, in full reconciliation with environmental groups. Using KAPS could therefore extend the reach of environmentally friendly exploitation for electrical power production worldwide. With the KAPS approach, boreholes can be harnessed at an earlier stage or within weeks after drilling is completed, whereas the conventional approach requires borehole evaluation period of 3-5 years before power production. KAPS units can be organized in power farms of same capacity as large geothermal power plants.

Availability of Geothermal Green Energy for more than 8000 hours/year, allows for basic power, compared to occasional delivery of wind and solar power requiring reserve non-renewable backup power.

KAPS units are now economically viable by mass production in highly qualified manufacturing process and can compete in price with larger size geothermal turbines/power plants but with better risk management. By getting involved in the manufacturing process of geothermal power plants, Kaldara has managed to shorten delivery time from 30 months (for Japanese manufacturers) to 6 months thus shortening the time to start selling electricity and generate revenues.
