Geothermal Power Plant Diagram. Diagram of a geothermal power plant through the fractures in the layers of rock water and steam which has been heated in the depths rise to the surface and are intercepted in the geothermal wells. Geothermal binary power plants contain not only the power unit on the surface but also the geothermal fluid loop to deliver the fluid from the reservoir fig.
Geothermal power plant process flow diagram showing direct contact condenser and hybrid ejectorvacuum pump gas removal system. The steam that is extracted is channelled into steam pipelines and forwarded to a turbine where the kinetic energy of the steam is transformed into rotational mechanical power. The diagram displays how a geothermal power station generates electricity.
Of geothermal power generation with a flash system combined with binary cycle and suggests a mathematic model of thermodynamic calculation for such combined geothermal power plants in detail.
As can be seen from the diagram the process of generating electricity in a geothermal power plant includes five main steps from pumping cold water to underground to producing electric power. The fluid is heated by the rocks to a point where it becomes steam. Overall the station produces electricity in five main steps. To begin with cold water on the surface of the earth is pumped down to the injection well which is at the.
