Geothermal power plants generate electricity by harnessing geothermal energy through a series of steps. First, geothermal fluid is heated by accessing the geothermal reservoir, either by injecting it directly into the reservoir (Enhanced Geothermal System) or using pipes that pass through the reservoir (Closed Loop). The heated fluid is then brought to the surface and passed through a heat exchanger, transferring its heat to a working fluid. This working fluid, now heated, drives a turbine, which powers a generator to produce electricity. Afterward, the working fluid is cooled and condensed back into a liquid form before being recirculated through the heat exchanger to repeat the process. | |||
