This diagram is a schematic of the various stages and processes used to produce electricity in a geothermal power plant. These procedures will be examined in this essay to obtain a general picture of how the thermal energy of the earth can be transmuted into electricity.
In the first step, there is a reservoir containing cold water which will be used to pump down the fluid to 4, 5 kilometers below the ground level. By this step, water has reached the injection well and will be released and permeated into the surroundings, which is called the geothermal zone. The injected cold water will now gain the thermal energy of the hot rocks in the ground, and subsequently will be absorbed into the production well.
After that, hot water gathered in this stage will be pumped up to the surface level, entering the condenser of the plant. At this stage, water will be turned into high-pressure steam, which will enter the turbine chamber. The pressure of the hot steam colliding the turbine surface will cause it to rotate, and with the help of the shaft that connects the turbine to the generator, this rotatory force will be transmitted to the generator.
Finally, in the last step of the plant, with the help of the internal mechanisms of the generator, the rotation of the shaft will be turned into electricity, which will be ready to be either used, stored, or transmitted.
