Geothermal power plant
In the diagram, the steps of generating electricity are shown from 1 to 5.
Overall, there are 5 steps in the process, starting from pumping down cold water into the geothermal zone, to producing electricity from the generator which is then sent into the electric grid.
The first step is cold water goes down side approximately 4.5km down through injection well, the next step is the water is injected into the geothermal zone, where cold water absorbs by hot rocks then after water is heated up, it goes into production well and then pumped up to the ground and into the condenser.
The last stages are carried out above ground at the power plant. Steam is produced from hot water in the condenser. In the rest of the steps, the steam passes into the turbine and makes it spin. generator, which is powered by the turbine.
