A probabilistic model-based approach to assess and minimize scaling in geothermal plants by Pejman Shoeibi Omrani, Jonah Poort, Eduardo G. D. Barros, Hidde de Zwart, Cintia Gonçalves Machado, Laura Wasch, Aris Twerda, Huub H. M. Rijnaarts, Shahab Shariat Torbaghan

“…The proposed modelling framework to demonstrate the optimization under uncertainty workflow consists of a multiphase flow solver coupled with a geochemistry model and an uncertainty quantification workflow to locally estimate the probability of precipitation potential, including its impact on the hydraulic efficiency of the geothermal plant by increasing the roughness and/or decreasing the diameter of the casings and pipelines. For plant operation optimization, a robust control problem is formulated with scenarios which are generated based on uncertainties in brine composition using an exhaustive search method. …”
