STUDENT at PERTAMINA UNIVERSITY. Today, I’d like to talk to you about GEOTHERMAL ENERGY and hopefully, this will act as a springboard for discussion. I plan to speak for about 10 minutes, and my talk will be divided into 4 sections; the first is DEFINITION OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY. And second, we’ll learn about GEOTHERMAL RESERVOIR. Third, I will explain about Extraction & Uses of Geothermal Energy .and finally i will explain about Electriciy generation of geothermal energy. I’d sure be glad to answer any questions at the end of my presentation, so please hold your questions if you have any.” WHAT IS GE : Geothermal energy is heat derived within the sub-surface of the earth. Water and/or steam carry the geothermal energy to the Earth’s surface. Depending on its characteristics, geothermal energy can be used for heating and cooling purposes or be harnessed to generate clean electricity. In the global push to end reliance on fossil fuels, green energy sources like solar and wind power have gotten lots of attention. But geothermal energy is another environmentally friendly energy source. It’s the underground heat left over from the molten rocks that formed Earth billions of years ago, and it can be tapped to heat buildings and generate electricity. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY HAVE RESERVOIR. THE Reservoirs can be suspected in the areas where we find IN THE: Geyser,Boiling mud pot,Volcano,AND Hot springs Geothermal energy is present even below the coldest parts of Earth’s surface — if you dig deep enough. In most places, Earth’s heat is trapped at depths of more than 20 miles. But in so-called geological hotspots, geothermal energy is near the surface — and is apparent in geysers, hot springs and volcanic eruptions. People have exploited geothermal energy for tens of thousands of years, using it to cook and bathe, for example. During the Roman Empire, about 2,000 years ago, hot springs were used for public baths and underfloor heating — as in the famous spa town of Bath, England.Today, geothermal energy tapped via holes drilled in the ground is used to heat and cool houses and other buildings. The underground environment functions as a sort of heat reservoir, with heat being drawn up into a building during cold weather and excess heat being dumped underground to lower indoor temperatures during hot weather.The cost of a geothermal heat pump system varies according to the climate and other factors. A typical residential system might be twice that of a conventional heating and cooling system, but geothermal heating and cooling systems can cut utility costs by up to 60 percent.Geothermal heat is also used in certain industrial and agricultural processes — for example, to dry lumber and crops. To extract geothermal heat, the hot water is pumped out of the deep subsoil and the heat is extracted using a heat exchanger. The cooled water is then pumped back and eventually heats up again because of the heat in the Earth. A geothermal installation therefore consists of at least two wells, one for the production of hot water, the production well, and one for the injection of cooled water, the injection well. The distance between these two wells in the deep subsoil is about 1 to 2 kilometres, and therefore they are partly drilled at an angle. DIRECT USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGYHot springs, used as spas. 1. Heating water at fish farms. 2. Provide heat for buildings. 3. Raising plants in greenhouses, drying crops. 4. Provides heat to industrial processes FINALLY I WILL EXPLAIN ABOUT Electriciy generation of geothermal energy. Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery to end users (transmission, distribution, etc.) or its storage (using, for example, the pumped-storage method). There are 3 types of Geothermal Power Plant Dry Steam power plant Flash steam power plant AND Binary cycle power plant Dry steam POWER plants use hydrothermal fluids that are primarily steam. The steam travels directly to a turbine, which drives a generator that produces electricity. The steam eliminates the need to burn fossil fuels to run the turbine (also eliminating the need to transport and store fuels). Flash Steam Power Plants are the most common form of geothermal power plant. The hot water is pumped under great pressure to the surface. When it reaches the surface the pressure is reduced and as a result some of the water changes to steam. This produces a 'blast' of steam AND BINARY STEAM POWER PLANT IS A binary cycle power plant is a type of geothermal power plant that allows cooler geothermal reservoirs to be used than is necessary for dry steam and flash steam plants CONLUCION Geothermal ENERGY heating system can replace fossil fuel heating system in a particular area, Annual costs for common heating purposes can be reduced by more than 60%. Continued energy shortages have created added interest in geothermal energy for power generation. AND Geothermal energy appears to be a partial solution to our energy needs.
