This diagram illustrates the procedure of electricity generation from geothermal energy in a geothermal power facility. Overall, cold water is turned into high energy steam in exchanging heat with underground hot rocks and consequently, the hot steam flux energy is used in order to whirl turbines and produce electricity.
First, cold water is pumped deeply into the ground from a reserviour. The fluid is pumped all the 4. 5km way down to intection well, where connects it's flow to an underground heat exchanger, called The Geothermal zone. Water will get the chance to absorb heat from hot rocks in the mentioned section and as a result, the temprature of the fluid rises immensely until the water boils.
Caustic boiling water is then pumped up towards a condenser. In turn, following section is responsible for increasing pressure and condensing hot water into steam. Steam has a supremely high energy which makes it capable of rotating turbine wings. Further, this rotation and mechanical energy is turned into electricity by a generator. Generator on one hand, inputs mechanical energy, provided by turbin rotation, and on the other hand, delivers a voltage to the output. This electrical potential is then transported via electrical power lines to consumers.
