The diagram provides information about the production of electricity using geothermal energy. There are several stages in the production process that begin with pumping down cold water into geothermal zone and ending in transferring electricity via power line.
In the initial phase of the production, cold water is pumped to 4. 5 km underground through the injection well. Next, the water is injected into the geothermal zone where hot rocks heat the water. After the hot rocks has been heated up, it enters production well and the hot water is pumped up to the ground and into the condenser.
Afterwards, the hot water is converted to steam which then flows into a chamber containing a turbine. Next, the turbine is powered by the steam that passes through and begin to spin. From there on, the generator which is powered by the turbine starts to produce electricity. Finally, the electricity is transferred into the electric grid by using power lines.
