Geothermal Powerplant

• 3 powerplant

  • Dry steam powerplant
  • Flash steam powerplant
  • Binary cycle powerplant
• Advantages of geothermal energy

  • Eco-friendly - because they do not produce buy product
  • High Reliability - 24hrs a day in a whole year
  • Flexibility - dependent on the amount of electricity energy
  • Minimum land space - small land space consume
  • cost efficient - cheaper
  • Help Developing countries grow
• geothermal energy

  • Thermal energy extracted from the earth's crust
• Geothermal energy generate in two ways:

  1. Geothermal powerplant
  2. Geothermal heat pums
• Geothermalpowerplant

  • Where heat from within the earth changes water into steam, which turns steam turbines that generate electricity
• Geothermalheatpumps

  • It removes the heat from the fluid in the earth connection. Contributes it and transfer it into building
• Thermal energy is also called heat energy
• Disadvantages

  • Geothermal powerplant is expensive
  • Limited accessibility
  • Financial constraint
  • Possible pollution
• Geo means earth and thermal means heat
• Geothermal is s renewable energy because it is visually inexhaustible in duration and can be replenished by nature
• Heat/volcano main source of geothermal energy
• Harnessing geothermal energy is by tracking the heat from the earth crust
