Mechanism

Geothermal power plants require hot hydrothermal resources provided by dry steam wells or hot water wells. In order to use these resources wells should be drilled into the earth and the steam or hot water can be piped to the surface. Geothermal wells are usually 1.5-3 kilometres deep. There are three types of geothermal plants, the dry steam power plants, flash steam plants and the binary power plants.
