The diagram illustrates the procedure of geothermal extraction for electricity generation purposes.
Overall
, the procedure is comprised of five major stages to be completed.
The process begins with pumping the cold Linking Words
water
downward to nearly 4.5 kilometres from the surface level through an injection well. As the cold Use synonyms
water
reaches hot rocks that are named the geothermal zone, it gains thermal energy vital for the aim of energy harvesting and flows horizontally arriving at the production well entrance. Use synonyms
Then
, the hot Linking Words
water
pumps up, 4.5 kilometres, reaching the condenser. The condenser at the fourth Use synonyms
stage
provides steam out of hot Use synonyms
water
for triggering the next Use synonyms
stage
which is consisted of two sub-stages. In the fifth Use synonyms
stage
, which is the Use synonyms

stage
as well, steam powers the turbine and the turbine transfers the mechanical power gained by it to the generator which ultimately is responsible for the production of electrical energy. The electricity Use synonyms

is sent to consumers for domestic and industrial utilization.Linking Words
