TEACHER’S HANDOUT

Types of Geothermal Energy

(https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.cfm/index.cfm?page=geothermal_power_plants)

● Dry steam plants use steam directly from a geothermal reservoir to turn generator turbines. The first
geothermal power plant was built in 1904 in Tuscany, Italy, where natural steam erupted from the
earth.
● Flash steam plants take high-pressure hot water from deep inside the earth and convert it to steam to
drive generator turbines. When the steam cools, it condenses to water and is injected back into the
ground to be used again. Most geothermal power plants are flash steam plants.
● Binary cycle power plants transfer the heat from geothermal hot water to another liquid. The heat
causes the second liquid to turn to steam, which is used to drive a generator turbine.

FLOWCHART
● Students output may be somewhat similar with the illustration below.

HOW A GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT WORKS

1. Wells Are Drilled
A production well is drilled into a known geothermal reservoir. Typically, an injection well is also drilled to
return used geothermal fluids to the geothermal reservoir. Hot geothermal fluids flow through pipes to a
power plant for use in generating electricity.
2. Steam Turns the Turbine

Hot, pressurized geothermal fluid, or a secondary working fluid, is allowed to expand rapidly and provide
rotational or mechanical energy to turn the turbine blades on a shaft.

3. The Turbine Drives the Electric Generator

Rotational energy from the turning turbine shaft is used directly to spin magnets inside a large coil and create
electrical current. The turbine and generator are the primary pieces of equipment used to convert geothermal
energy to electrical energy.
4. Transmission - Power Lines Deliver Electricity
Electrical current from the generator is sent to a step-up transformer outside the power plant. Voltage is
increased in the transformer and electrical current is transmitted over power lines to homes, buildings, and
businesses.
