Electric power generation from geothermal energy

Geothermal Electric Power Generation Electricity derived from heat found under the earth s surface. Also see Flash Steam Generation, Binary Cycle Generation and Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Technology (HDR). ... [Pg.19]

Fiydrothermal plants produce electric power at a cost competitive with the cost of power from fossil fuels. Besides generating electricity, hydrothermal energy is used directly to heat buildings. Across the United States, geothermal hot-water reservoirs are much more common than geothermal steam reservoirs. Most of the untapped hot-water reservoirs are in California, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. The temperatures of these reservoirs are not hot enough to drive steam turbines efficiently, but the water is used to boil a secondary fluid, such as butane, whose vapors then drive gas turbines. [Pg.655]
