Two Wells are drilled. Rocks between the wells are fractured. Cool water is pumped down from first well. Hot water is pumped up from second well.
Geothermal to Electrical
turbo generator Steam is condensed and pumped back into the ground Can achieve 1 kWh per 6.5 kg of steam
Flash Type
Steam with water extracted
from ground Pressure of mixture drops at surface and more water flashes to steam Steam separated from water Steam drives a turbine Turbine drives an electric generator Generate between 5 to 100 MW Use 6 to 9 tones of steam per hour
Binary Type
Low temps 100 C and
150 C Use heat to vaporize organic liquid
E.g., iso-butane, iso-pentane
Reliable
Flexible
Other usage
Non electric usage of geothermal energy -- Geothermal heat pump -- Direct use
Other aspects
Geothermal power generation growth is continuing, but at a lower pace than in the previous decade, while direct heat uses show a strong increase compared to the past. The total world use of geothermal power is giving a contribution both to energy saving (around 26 million tons of oil per year) and to CO2 emission reduction (80 million tons/year if compared with equivalent oilfuelled production)
Conclusion
Thank You!!
