Module 8 Flashcards
It sips directly hot steam beneath the ground
through pipes to mobilize generator turbines.
Dry Steam Plants
It pipes high pressure hot water from geothermal
reservoir and convert it into steam that turn
generator turbines to produce electricity.
Flash Steam Plants
It has a system that transfers heat from hot water
sipped miles deep to other liquid. Exceedingly high
temperature from geothermal water changes the
other liquid into steam to drive the generator
turbines.
Binary Cycle Plants
the presence
of geologic features such as ________________________________
are indicators that there are available passages for geothermal energy to reach
the surface of the earth.
volcanoes and fumaroles, hot springs, and geysers
For ______________, the process of ________________ is important for the replenishment of water in rivers and dams.
hydropower, hydrologic cycle
is the heat from the earth’s core due to the slow decay of
radioactive substances. Different layers of the earth possess different
temperatures as the core found to be the hottest. This energy comes out to
the surface through the tectonic plate boundaries and edges where most
formation of volcanoes occurs.
Geothermal energy
When ____________________come out
through the spaces in between the plates, they heat up the ground water
suspended in the porous rocks. The process produces ____________________________
that builds pressure needed to be emitted to the surface through volcanoes.
molten materials (magma) , steam (hydrothermal)
There are three main types of geothermal energy
systems:
1) direct use and district heating,
2) geothermal power plants and
3) geothermal heat pumps.
use hot water from springs or
reservoirs located near the surface of the earth.
Direct use and district heating systems
Geothermal power plants apply ________________________ that have both water
(hydro) and heat (thermal).
hydrothermal resources
There are three basic types of geothermal power plants:
1) dry steam plants, 2) flash steam plants and 3) binary cycle power plants.
One requirement for water to become energy resource is the presence of ______________.
current.
is the conversion of flowing water (mechanical
energy) into electrical energy.
Hydropower or hydroelectricity
There are three main types of hydro plants.
1) Impoundment facilities
2) Pumped storage facilities
3) Run-of-river facilities
are 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.
Impoundment facilities
