Indonesia has a large geothermal energy potential, spread across the islands of Sumatra, Java, West Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, and especially in North Sulawesi (Figure 1). Indonesia has the greatest potential in the world with about 28.5 GWe (Geological Agency, 2009), equivalent to 40% of world reserves. This potential is equivalent to 12 billion bar...

Context 1
... systems in Indonesia are composed of volcanic rocks. The main components of a geothermal system (Dwikorianto, 2006) are the (1) heat source, (2) permeable rock, (3) cap rock, and (4) fluid circulation ( Figure 2). The heat source is from the magma chamber, permeable rocks are the reservoir, impermeable cap rock is tuff modified to clay minerals, and high pressures and temperatures promote fluid circulation through heated rock which forms steam. ...

A ground acceleration map is needed as a consideration in building construction. Therefore, a good ground motion attenuation model is needed to predict the condition in the field properly. This study discusses ground motion attenuation models that are appropriate for West Sumatra and Bengkulu based on distant subduction interface and intraslab eart...
