The diagram demonstrates the process in which electricity is made by usage of geothermal energy and the help of water.
Overall, the process includes 5 stages starting by heating up cold water to make steam and then using the produced steam for moving the turbines which is needed for powering the generator.
The first three steps of the function are done with the purpose of warming the cold water. Firstly, the cold water is transferred to a zone called “the injection wall” which is located 4. 5 km down in the earth. Then by using the heat of hot rocks in the geothermal region, the water heats up and gets to a spot called “the production wall”. At this time, the water pumps up to the earth’s surface and directly enters a condenser. The output of this condenser is steam which gets in a chamber that involves a turbine and an electricity generator. The steam is used to rotate the turbine. The power produced by a rotating turbine is used to produce electricity in the generator.
