    Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years, with early humans using hot springs for bathing in prehistoric times. The Romans further developed geothermal energy in the 1st century AD. In 1904, the first geothermal power plant was built in Italy. There are three main types of geothermal power plants - dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle plants. Dry steam plants use steam directly from reservoirs to power turbines, while flash steam plants pump hot water to the surface where it flashes to steam. Binary cycle plants use hot water to heat a secondary fluid with a lower boiling point. Today there are over 3,400 MW of geothermal power capacity worldwide.

    TYPES OF GEOTHERMAL
    ENERGY POWER PLANTS

    15
    1. Dry Steam

     Most common type


     Hot steam from underground
    reservoirs directly into turbines
     Turbines power generators to
    provide electricity
     Steam condenses to water
    and piped back to earth
    through injection well.

    16
    1. Dry Steam

    17
    2. Flash Steam

     Hot water pumped from


    deep inside the earth to the
    surface
     Flash tank has low pressure,
    causes fluid to rapidly
    vaporize, or “flash”
     Steam enters turbine, powers
    the generator, and
    condenses back to the earth

    18
    2. Flash Steam

    19
    3. Binary Cycle

     Hot steam or water from the


    ground heats second liquid in
    heat exchanger
     2nd liquid has lower boiling
    point, hence vaporizes quickly
     Vapor enters turbine and
    powers the generator
     Hot water is recycled back to
    the ground
     2nd liquid is recycled
