Abstract

A power generation system includes a mixing unit for receiving and combining heated fluid from a heated fluid source and working fluid to form a vapor. The system also includes a condensation unit positioned at a location having a higher elevation than the heated fluid source. The condensation unit receives the vapor from the mixing unit through a first conduit and condenses the vapor into a liquid. The system further includes a turbine positioned at a location having a lower elevation than the condensation unit. The turbine receives the liquid condensed in the condensation unit through a second conduit. The turbine is driven by the liquid to generate electric power. The system also includes a heat exchanger for transferring heat from the liquid driving the turbine to the working fluid provided to the mixing unit.
