Study Notes

Geothermal Energy

Definition and Principle

  • Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy generated from the heat of the Earth's interior.
  • It uses heat from hot underground water or steam to produce electricity.

How it Works

  • Hot water or steam from underground reservoirs is pumped to the surface.
  • The heat is used to power a turbine, generating electricity.
  • The cooled water is then re-injected into the ground to maintain the reservoir's temperature.

Types of Geothermal Systems

  • Conventional: Uses hot water or steam from underground reservoirs to generate electricity.
  • Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): Artificially creates fractures in hot rock formations to access hot water or steam.
  • Binary Cycle: Uses the heat from hot water to produce steam, which then drives a turbine.

Advantages

  • Renewable and sustainable: Geothermal energy is a clean and renewable source of energy.
  • Reliability: Geothermal power plants can operate at a high capacity factor.
  • Low emissions: Geothermal energy produces little to no greenhouse gas emissions.

Challenges and Limitations

  • Location-specific: Geothermal energy is only viable in areas with significant geothermal resources.
  • Exploration and development costs: High upfront costs for exploration and development.
  • Technical challenges: Drilling and maintaining wells in hot, high-pressure environments.
