How does geothermal energy works

A

STEPS
1. Wells are drilled
2. the drop in pressure
causes the hot water to turn
into steam.
3. The steam spins a
turbine
4. steamcondenses back to the
water
5. The cooled water is
pumped back

135
Q

Wells are drilled deep
into the earth to pump
steam or hot water in the
surface.

A

STEP 1

136
Q

When the water reaches the
surface, the drop in pressure
causes the hot water to turn
into steam.

A

STEP 2

137
Q

The steam spins a
turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity.

A

STEP 3

138
Q

The cooling tower cools the steam which condenses back to the water

A

Binary Cycle Plants

152
Q

exceedingly high temperature from geothermal water changes the other liquid into steam to drive the generator turbines

A

Binary Cycle Plants

153
Q

2 things that affect the efficiency of the power plant to generate electricity

A

Volume (density)
Steepness of the Slope (Gravity)

154
Q

Does Geothermal heat pumps reduce the use of energy sources?

A

Yes because they do not burn fossil fuels to generate electricity

155
Q

It is a method of generating electricity by harnessing the energy of moving or falling water.

A

HYDROELECTRIC POWER

156
Q

It works by channeling water through a large pipe called a penstock, which directs the flow to a turbine. The force of the water turns the turbine’s blades, causing it to spin. This spinning motion drives a generator, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

3 MAIN TYPES OF HYDRO PLANTS

A

Impoundment Facilities
Pumped Storage Facilities
Run-of-river Facilities

159
Q

The most common technology which uses a dam to create a large reservoir of water. Electricity is made when water passes through turbines in the dam.

A

IMPOUNDMENT FACILITIES

160
Q

Similar with Impound Facilities but have a second reservoir below the dam. Water can be pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, storing energy for use later.

A

PUMPED STORAGE FACILITIES

161
Q

It rely more on natural water flow rates, diverting just a portion of river water through turbines, sometimes without the use of a dam or reservoirs.

A

RUN-OF-RIVER FACILITIES

162
Q

Since run-of-river hydro is subject to natural water variability, it is more intermittent than dammed hydro.
