We browsed Internet and tried to find as simple as possible and the most illustrative video explaining the principles of geothermal energy. After hours of searching, we would like to recommend one created by UCTV.
Right below your feet is a source of renewable energy that is largely untapped. It heats groundwater by conduction and convection [...]

The next one among geothermal cycles is called “Kalina Cycle”. It has been given name by its inventor, Russian engineer Alexander Kalina. Beside Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), Kalina Cycle is another cycle used in power facilities fueled by geothermal water streams of lower temperature.
In comparison with Organic Rankine Cycle, the main advantage of Kalina Cycle [...]

Like we mentioned that the principle of geothermal power plant lies in thermodynamic cycles, we would like to write briefly about one of them, so called Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC).
Firstly, what is a Rankine Cycle? In general, it is a thermodynamic cycle used in turbines in order to produce electricity. It is one of practical [...]

Imagine the geothermal power plant. As long as you look at it, you will see some type of „smoke“ rising up from strange wide „chimney“. Is this real smoke? Is that real chimney? No. Right answer is that just the water steam is rising up from the cooling tower, not from chimney. Therefore the question [...]

Strong and weak aspects one can identify when studying various issues. Let’s summarize impacts of geothermal energy. In this shot we will write about impact on environment, the next one will be focused on human health impact.
The linguistic origin says that „Geothermal“ represents the heat coming from Earth’s depths („Geo“ like Earth, „thermal“ like heat). [...]

Phenomenon of geothermal energy is not the discovery of our generation. At the very beginning of it, in 1852, Lord Kelvin focused his attention on natural heat as an enormous source of power at disposal for human being. On the other hand, knowledge on field of physics had been not enough developed in order to [...]

All of you know that: Imagine you are on the beach during a sunny summer day. No clouds, no wind, just sun. Suddenly you decide to walk without shoes on your feet. Possible? Impossible because rocky road is too hot for your skin on feet. Actually, the rock can be good absorbent of enormous heat [...]
