what are their advantages and disadvantages?
please answer it now please i need it please i need it immediately…
thank you=)
Geothermal electricity is renewable.
Binary-Cycle Power Plants
Hot geothermal fluid and a secondary (hence, "binary") fluid with a much lower boiling point than water pass through a heat exchanger. Heat from the geothermal fluid causes the secondary fluid to flash to vapor, which then drives the turbines. Because this is a closed-loop system, virtually nothing is emitted to the atmosphere.
Dry Steam Power Plants
Steam plants use hydrothermal fluids that are primarily steam. The steam goes directly to a turbine, which drives a generator that produces electricity. This is the oldest type of geothermal power plant. It was first used at Lardarello in Italy in 1904, and is still very effective.
Flash Steam Power Plants
Fluid is sprayed into a tank held at a much lower pressure than the fluid, causing some of the fluid to rapidly vaporize, or "flash." The vapor then drives a turbine, which drives a generator.
