Sažetak
Geothermal sources in Croatia do not contain steam of relatively high temperature, like in Italy, although both countries are nearly in the same position with respect to geothermal belt. Nevertheless, by using low temperature difference Stirling engine could be successfully applied even when hot water is of moderate temperature. Calculations based on the just confirmed geothermal wells indicate there is a possibility for generation of about 46 MW of electric power. In this paper, the low temperature difference Stirling engine feasibility for exploitation of the existing geothermal potential in Croatia are analyzed on the ground of energy and economic advantages.
