The diagram below shows how geothermal energy is used to produce electricity The chart describes the way to generate electricity by using geothermal energy. When looking at the diagram it can be clearly seen the geothermal power station has four main units: the cold

water

storage tank, the injection well, the production well, the condenser and two equipment, the turbine and the

generator

. The tank stores cool

water

, and the condenser, turbine and

generator

are established on the ground

whereas

the two storage units are situated under the ground parallel to each other. In the beginning, the liquid stored at normal temperature is pumped down into the injection well

that is

built 4. 5 Km away from the ground level. After that

water

runs through a tunnel, constructed in the area mainly containing hot rocks in order to heat

water

at its boiling point.

This

boiled

water

is

then

stocked in a production well. The next step

aims to produce steam from hot

water

,

then

pumped up to the condenser on the earth.

This

steam is used to operate turbines which give power to the

generator

. In the final stage, electricity is produced by the

generator

and distributed to consumers.
