The illustration presents what is the procedure of producing electricity in a geothermal power plant by using geothermal energy. Overall, the process is described in five steps and it is divided into underground and overground processes.
In the first step, cold water is used to produce electricity. This cold water is stored on the beneath of earth, and then, is pumped down to a considerable extent of 4.5 kilometres. After this, the water is directed to the injection well. From this, the water goes through geothermal zone, which is hot rocks. Once the water crosses through this area, the water that has been heated up arrives to the production well.
After these three steps underground are over, the hot water is pumped back to the earth’s surface and it is stored in a condenser. After the water has melted and turned into steam, it travels through a narrow tube. The last step is divided into two, a turbine and a generator. The steam makes the turbine start working, and by this, the generator is powered. Consequently, the generator produces electricity and it is sent to transmissions tower.
