PLANTS
Are built in an area where it is
particularly hot just below the earth’s
surface such as near a group of geysers,
hot springs and volcano.
Three (3) Types of Geothermal
Power Plant
1. Dry Steam Power Plant
2. Binary Steam Power Plant
3. Flash Steam Power Plant
Parts of Geothermal Power Plant:
1. Production well 5. Generator
2. Separator
6. Transformer
3. Pressure steam
crystallizer 7. Reactor clarifier
a. High pressure steam crystallizer
b. Standard pressure steam 8. Injection well.
crystallizer
c. Low pressure steam crystallizer

4. Turbine
1. DRY STEAM POWER PLANT

Use steam directly from reservoir to turn generator turbines.

2. BINARY STEAM POWER
PLANT

Transfer the heat from hot water to another liquid.

The heat causes the second liquid to turn to steam, which is used
to drive a generator turbines.
3. FLASH STEAM POWER PLANT

Take high pressure of hot water from deep inside the

earth and convert it to steam to drive generator turbines.
1. High Pressure Steam Crystallizer – High Pressure Steam
2. Standard Pressure Steam Crystallizer – Standard
Pressure Steam
3. Low Pressure Steam Crystallizer – Low Pressure Steam
Application
 STEPS TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY IN A GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT:

>The steam spins a turbine, which is
connected to a generator that produces
electricity.
>Cooling tower cools the steam which 2. When the water reaches the
it condenses back to water.
>Wells are drilled deep into the earth
to pump the steam or hot water to the
surface.
>The cooled water is pumped back into
the earth to begin the process again.
>When the water reaches the surface,
the drop in pressure causes the water
to turn into steam.
1. Wells are drilled deep into the
earth to pump the steam or hot water
to the surface.
surface, the drop in pressure causes
the water to turn into steam.
3. The steam spins a turbine, which
is connected to a generator that
produces electricity.
4. Cooling tower cools the steam
which it condenses back to water.
5. The cooled water is pumped back
into the earth to begin the process
again.

• Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and
stored in the earth.
• Geothermal power plants are built in an area where it
is particularly hot just below the earth’s surface such
as near a group of geysers, hot springs and volcano.
• There are three (3) types of geothermal power plant:
dry steam power plant, flash steam power plant and
binary steam power plant.
• Dry steam power plant use steam directly from
reservoir to turn generator turbines.
•Binary steam power plant transfer the heat
from hot water to another liquid.
• Flash steam power plant take high pressure of hot
water from deep inside the earth and convert it to
steam to drive generator turbines.
•The common parts of geothermal power plants
are: production well, separator, pressure steam
crystallizer, turbine, generator, transformer,
reactor clarifier and injection well.
•Locations of geothermal power plant in the
Philippines: Tiwi, Albay, Kidapawan, North
Cotabato, Bitin Bay, Laguna, Tongonan,
Leyte, Negros Oriental and Occidental,
Bacon, Sorsogon.
•Geothermal Power Plant in Ormoc, Leyte is
the biggest geothermal power plant in the
Philippines with 610.18 mega watt.
