A sensitivity analysis of magma power economics

Energy, 1989, vol. 14, issue 9, 545-550

Abstract: Recent studies indicate the technical feasibility of drilling into shallow magma bodies and converting their heat energy into electricity. With sufficient magma penetration, recent cost estimates are competitive with those of currently used energy sources. A sensitivity analysis is used to examine key variables and isolate crucial parameters that determine costs. Identification of these variables pinpoints elements of risk and indicates areas of needed research.
