Vulkaners betydelse för utvinning av geotermisk energi, Krafla och Hengill, Island

Bergström, Sofia, Sjödin, Sophia January 2013 (has links)
Island har perfekta förutsättningar för att utvinna geotermisk energi. Det är beläget på den mittatlantiskaryggen mellan två aktiva plattor som interagerar med den hotspot som ligger under Island. Formandet av jordskorpan i området är komplex, hotspoten och manteln produce- rar tillsammans stora mängder magma som har gjort att jordskorpan har blivit mer mäktig oceanskorpan. Dessa parametrar gör Island till ett land med unika dynamiska system som ger de bästa förutsättning- arna för att kunna utvinna samt förse sin befolkning med geotermisk energi.  I denna studie är det främst två vulkaner som undersöks, Krafla och Hengill som ligger på norra respektive sydvästra Island. Vid dessa platser har man tagit flera borrprover där man fått reda på sammansättningen av magman. Sammansättningen har gjort det möjligt att utföra flera olika teoretiska modeller för att ta reda på mag- makamrars betydelse för energiutvinning. Syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på temperaturerna i magmakamrarna och vid vilket djup dessa ligger på. Detta görs för att få reda på värmekällans egenskaper som då också hör ihop med ener- giutvinning. Här undersöks också hydrologiska flödesriktningar från de båda vulkanerna till deras geotermiska anläggningar i samma område. Utifrån magmans sammansättning tillämpades en modell i Excel för få fram djupet ner magmakamrarna för båda vulkanerna. Den hydrologiska 2D-modellen gjordes i programmet Hydrotherm som utvecklades av U.S Geological Survey där främst två ekvationer användes, Darcy’s lag samt ekvationen för termisk energitransport. Den sista modellen visade värmeflödet i de båda vulkanerna.  Resultatet visar att Hengill har en magmakammare vid djup på 0,735 km och att medeltemperaturen är 1227°C. Vid Krafla ligger magmakammaren på ett djup av 15 km och medeltemperaturen är 1161°C. Värmeflödet är nästan 3 gånger större vid Hengill än vid Krafla och flödesriktingen av värmen upp mot ytan skiljde sig mellan de båda vulkanerna. Vid Krafla stiger värmen nästan helt vertikalt mot ytan men vid Hengill kan man istället se att värmeflödet visar en mer utåtriktad böjd rörelse mot ytan. Den här typen av information är det som avgör vart man placerar de planerade kraftverken för maximal utvinning.

A Broad View on the Interpretation of Electromagnetic Data (VLF, RMT, MT, CSTMT) / En bred syn på Tolkning av Elektromagnetiska Data (VLF, RMT, MT, CSTMT)

Oskooi, Behrooz January 2004 (has links)
The resolution power of single Very Low Frequency (VLF) data and multi-frequency Radiomagnetotelluric (RMT) data in delineating conductive structures typical for the sedimentary cover and crystalline basement in Scandinavia is studied with a view to future developments of the technique to increasing the frequency range into the LW radio band. Airborne and ground VLF data are interpreted and correlated with RMT measurements made on the ground to better understand the resolution power of VLF data. To aid in this understanding single and multifrequency VLF and RMT responses for some typical resistivity structures are analyzed. An analytic model is presented for obtaining unique transfer functions from measurements of the electromagnetic components on board an air-plane or on the ground. Examples of 2D inversion of ground and airborne VLF profiles in Sweden are shown to demonstrate the quantitative interpretation of VLF data in terms of both lateral and depth changes of the resistivity in the uppermost crust. Geothermal resources are ideal targets for Electromagnetic (EM) methods since they produce strong variations in underground electrical resistivity. Modelling of Magnetotelluric (MT) data in SW Iceland indicates an alteration zone beneath the surface, where there are no obvious geothermal manifestations, in between Hengill and Brennisteinsfjoll geothermal systems. It suggests that a hydrothermal fluid circulation exists at depth. It also proves that the MT method, with its ability to map deep conductive features can play a valuable role in the reconnaissance of deep geothermal systems in active rift regimes such as in Iceland. A damped nonlinear least-squares inversion approach is employed to invert Controlled Source Tensor MT (CSTMT) data for azimuthal anisotropy in a 1D layered earth. Impedance and tipper data are inverted jointly. The effects of near-surface inhomogeneities are parameterized in addition to each layer parameter(s). Application of the inversion algorithm to both synthetic and field data shows that the CSTMT method can be used to detect azimuthal anisotropy under realistic conditions with near surface lateral heterogeneities.
