The document discusses power resources and how they can be divided into renewable and non-renewable categories. It provides examples of non-renewable resources like fossil fuels and examples of renewable resources like solar, geothermal, and hydro power. It then discusses how geothermal power works, explaining that geothermal resources are reservoirs of hot water below the Earth's surface and that geothermal power plants draw this fluid to the surface to produce steam and generate electricity. Finally, it notes Pakistan's potential for geothermal energy given its natural resources but that it remains an underutilized energy source in the country.

AYAAN ZAFAR AMMAR TARIQUE AYAN SALMAN WASEEH AHMED Power Resources: Power resources are the sources of energy that are used to generate electricity or fuel. They can be divided into two main categories, renewable and non-renewable.
Non-renewable power Renewable power resources:
resources: Non-renewable Renewable power resources power resources are those are those that can be that are finite and cannot be replenished naturally and can replaced once they are used be used repeatedly. These up. These resources include: resources include: Solar power, Geothermal power, Fossil fuels, Fossil fuels Hydro power Geothermal power
Geothermal power is generated by using
the heat from the earth's core to generate electricity. It is heat energy from the earth —Geo (earth) + thermal (heat). Geothermal resources are reservoirs of hot water that exist or are human made at varying temperatures and depths below the Earth's surface. Q)How is energy generated through GeoThermal Power?
Geothermal power plants draw fluids from
underground reservoirs to the surface to produce steam. This steam then drives turbines that generate electricity. There are three main types of geothermal power plant technologies: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle. Pakistan geothermal renewable energy potential for electric power generation
Pakistan is among the naturally gifted countries that are rich in
conventional and renewable energy resources. Despite the massive potential of energy resources, Pakistan is still an energy deficient country and have to import petroleum products to barely accomplish its energy demand. GeoThermal Energy is still one of the unexplored energy resources for electric power Generation in Pakistan. Pakistan can overcome the energy shortage to a significant level by harnessing renewable energy resources, such as, geothermal energy.
