Power Plant Layouts

Geothermal power plants:-

Geothermal power plants use hydrothermal resources which have two common ingredients: water (hydro) and heat (thermal).

Geothermal plants require high temperature (300 to 700 degrees Fahrenheit) hydrothermal resources that may come from either dry steam wells or hot water wells.

We can use these resources by drilling wells into the earth and piping the steam or hot water to the surface. Geothermal wells are one to two miles deep.

Flash/Binary Combined Cycle:-

This type of plant, which uses a combination of flash and binary technology, has been used effectively to take advantage of the benefits of both technologies.

In this type of plant, the portion of the geothermal water which “flashes” to steam under reduced pressure is first converted to electricity with a backpressure steam turbine and the low-pressure steam exiting the backpressure turbine is condensed in a binary system.
