Geothermal Flashcards
It is produced by the heat of Earth’s molten interior.
Geothermal Energy
It is the type of the Malitbog Geothermal Power Plant.
Single Flash Type
It is the oldest type of geothermal power plants.
Dry Steam Plants
The most common type of the geothermal power plant in operation today.
Flash Steam Plants
It can use lower temperature geothermal resources, making them an important technology for deploying geothermal electricity production in more locations.
Binary Cycle Power Plant
It is a device that extracts thermal energy from the steam and converts it to a mechanical work on a rotating output shaft.
Steam Turbine
The primary pieces of equipment used to convert geothermal energy to electrical energy.
Generators
It acts as a heat-rejection engine when condensing steam into water.
Condenser
It is an integrated part of any geothermal power plant because heat waste from turbine exhaust steam must be continuously rejected to make the plants operate.
Cooling Tower
The largest single disadvantage of geothermal energy is that it is location specific.
Location Restriction
Give at least five of the Advantage in using Geothermal Power Plant.
