Appendix 3 : Types of Geothermal Plants Types of Geothermal Plant Methods Dry Steam Power Plant Flash Power Plant Binary Power Plant Used to generate power directly from the steam generated inside the earth We do not need additional heating boilers and boiler fuel Not common since natural hydrothermal reservoirs dry steam are very rare The most common type of geothermal power plant Hot water flows to the tank where the pressure turns it in to steam powering a turbine Excess water is flown back to the reservoir Uses high temperature geothermal water to heat another fluid which has a lower boiling point than water This fluid vaporizes to steam, drives the turbines, then condenses to liquid to begin the cycle again Water used to heat fluid is recycled in to the ground reservoir Notes: Images taken from Energy.gov 7
