About Me
- Kate G
- We are all about education on Geothermal Education. We want to provide the public with the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on the history, uses and production of Geothermal energy. The purpose of this blog is to keep you, as citizens of the earth, informed on the pros and cons of Geothermal energy, with the hope that you will go out into the world and promote it yourself. Its your world, harness its energy, and save it.
The First Geothermal Generator Ever
This 205 watt generator was installed in 1913 in Larderello Italy
Geothermal Plant
This is a model of basically how geothermal energy is produced. Note how there is both a production and injection well, to reuse water. To see it in action look at the post How It Works.
Flash Steam Plant
A Simple explanation of the "flash" steam plants
Dry Steam Power Plant
similar to the flash steam power plant, the hot water comes directly out of the ground as steam.
Binary Power Plant
In the diagram the "working fluid" is a binary liquid. It is used with geothermal reservoirs that have a lower temperature (~200 degrees fahrenheit). The geothermal water is used to heat a secondary liquid with a lower boiling point. The steam from this liquid turns the turbine
