Advantages And Disadvantages Of Geothermal Energy

GEO-THERMAL POWER PLANT SUBMITTED FOR Energy Studies INTRODUCTION In the present scenario , ENERGY has become the most important part of our daily life requirements . It is used so extensively in our day to day life that we , at many times , do not even realise that it is being used. Thus, for all our works , energy is required in large quantities . But the big question which arises is , from where to get the energy.There are several sources and a wide variety of methods to fulfill our demands by producing energy . Being humans one of our basic requirements is electricity.There are a lot of ways to produce electricity.One such method is ‘GEO THERMAL POWER PLANT’ .Geo Thermal Power Plant gives major contribution to fulfill energy demands.†¦show more content†¦The steam created then needs to be separated from brine which is usually done in central separation chamber. After this separation process , the whole steam is transferred to heat exchangers which are located inside the power plant. After the steam is transferred to heat exchangers , it is possible to transfer it even further to the steam turbines where electricity can be generated from it, and at the same time unused energy is released through the exhaust pipes. In heat exchangers steam is being cooled in under pressure in the condensate and then heat is transferred into the cold water in the condensate heat exchangers. This cold water that we gain on it’s way is pumped from wells to storage tanks from which it is transferred to heat exchangers where the temperature of gets increased and is then passed through deaerators where it boils and where released oxygen and other gases which may cause corrosion (when heated) are removed by final water cooling. Keeping it simple , it all comes in the process of heating of water and it is transferred to steam which can then be used to drive a turbo-generator which generates electricity or this steam is passed through heat exchangers and heats water creating sufficient heat for central heating of households andShow MoreRelatedDuring the 21st century our country and our planet as a whole is in energy crisis. We have used too1200 Words   |  5 Pagesplanet as a whole is in energy crisis. We have used too many oils and fossil fuel that our non-renewable resources are running out. Oil is limited and is at outrageous prices, this result is making our economy suffering. With fossil fuel and oil as the main source of energy the people of this planet need to start looking for an alternative energy source because our fossil fuel will not last forever and fossil fuel also polluted our planet. This is where a renewable energy comes in. I will start talkingRead MoreEarths Natural Energy Sources Essay14 70 Words   |  6 PagesINTRODUCTION Renewable energy is energy produced from natural resources such as, wind, sunlight, rain, tides and geothermal heat which can be re-used or replenished. Natural energies (renewable energies) have its advantages and disadvantages. The reliance on fossil fuel is reduced by the sources of renewable energy. Though the use of natural sources has many advantages over the use of fossil fuels, the cost of investment for it can be too high for some people. In this project, I will be highlightingRead MoreSources Of Alternative Energy Sources926 Words   |  4 PagesAlternate Energy Sources Alternative energy sources are becoming more and more popular. The most important alternative energy sources are solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ocean, and hydropower energies. Their main advantage lies in the resumption of energy resources. This paper will give information about each of sources as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Solar energy The Sun is a leading environmentally clean energy source. The process of generating electricity from sunlight has beenRead MoreFossil Fuels Advantages And Disadvantages1399 Words   |  6 Pageshas been one energy source that has dominated the world for a long time, fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are an energy source that includes coal, natural gas, and oil. Fossil fuels have been used for a long time because of their energy output. The downside is that is very harmful to the environment, so that is why we have renewable sources that are eco-friendly. Renewable energies still have not won the favor of the crowd because fossil fuel use is still much higher than renewable energy. The topics thatRead MoreAlternative Sources of Energy: Geothermal Essay1185 Words   |  5 PagesGeothermal Energy Introduction The useful and super eco-friendly, and environmentally safe (for the most part), form of energy that is called Geothermal Energy has been used for thousands of years. The definition for Geothermal is â€Å"earth heat† so it is literally the heat naturally created by the earth that humans and other species have discovered to use to their advantage. The earliest known uses are located in china and are based since the 3rd century B.C. although at that time the energy wasRead MoreFossil Fuels vs Energy Alternatives730 Words   |  3 PagesHow can energy be converted from one form to another? All forms of energy can be converted to another form of. For example: A pendulum is an object is suspended by a string or wire for support. If the object is moved to one side and then released, it will swing back and forth in an arc. At that moment the object reaches the top of its swing, it stops for an instant, and then begins another swing. At that instant of stopping, the object has 100 p ercent potential energy and no kinetic energy. The objectRead MoreImplementation Of Geothermal Energy As An Alternative Energy1459 Words   |  6 PagesTitle : Implementation Of Geothermal Energy As An Alternative Energy AHMAD HAFIZUDDIN BIN ISMAIL (EC15132) FIRDAUS BIN MAT SHUKRI (EC15133) MUHAMMAD SUHAIMI BIN MOKHTAH (EC) AMAR FAISSAL BIN KAMARUDDIN (EC15134) Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG (UMP), 26600 PEKAN, PAHANG, MALAYSIA Abstract This report presents an alternative energy is any energy source that from fossil fuel.
