Geothermal Power

 

Geothermal plants generate electricity from steam power recovered from within the Earth’s core. This thermal energy comes from the heat generated in rock and fluids during the original formation of the planet which also includes the radioactive decay of materials.

Here’s how geothermal power works:

  1. Steam from the hot fluid recovered from the reservoir below the Earth’s surface is pumped to the surface through a series of wells.
  2. The pumped steam generates energy used to spin the turbine which is enclosed in a powerhouse together with the generator and control equipment. The spinning turbine enables the generator to produce electricity.
  3. Power lines connected to the powerhouse distribute energy to power distribution utilities and then to your homes and businesses.
  4. Cooled steam is released through a cooling tower while hot water is returned to the reservoir using an injection well, helping in regenerating the steam source.
