Geothermal Energy & Geothermal Power Plants


Introduction
What does geothermal mean
What is geothermal energy

Electricity can be generated even if no source of hot water
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
Geothermal energy to electrical energy.

Types of Geo. Power plants
Dry steam type power plant
Flash power plant
Binary power plant

Binary Type



Why Geothermal Power Plant
Clean
Easy on the land.
Cost Effective
Reliable
Flexible
Other usage
Non electric usage of geothermal energy
-- Geothermal heat pump
-- Direct use
Other aspects
How much electricity from geothermal energy



Future of Geothermal Energy
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 oil-fuelled production)
