Earth solution energy is the domestic source of energy that boasts of a variety of advantages, such as reliability, environmental advantages and cost, when compared with other conventional sources of energy.
The earth solution energy system can be used for supplying energy both for direct heating as well as for electricity generation.
In order to generate electricity, the hot water is brought to the surface from underground reservoirs which is then flashed in special vessels and converted into steam by releasing pressure.
The liquid and steam are separated from each other and inserted into the turbine engine.
This engine runs the generator which generates electricity.
In order to maintain the pressure of the reservoir, the spent fluid is again inserted into its peripheral parts.
If steam is not present, the heat is extracted from hot water with the help of a secondary fluid and this high pressure vapor is used to run the turbine.
In case the reservoir has to be used for direct heating purposes, the earth solution water is fed into the heat exchanger and the heat obtained in this process can be used for heating homes, drying vegetables, greenhouses or for any other application in small scale industries.
The water below the temperature of 120 degree Celsius is usually used for this purpose.
Also, the used water can be used for direct application as well once it is used for generation of electricity.
Due to the rising popularity of the earth solution energy system, the use of exhaustible fossil fuels is coming down, as it has various other drawbacks such as release of greenhouse gases and acid rain.
The systems of using earth solution energy have been proven to be quite reliable as well as flexible.
The earth system power plants run almost 97 percent of the time in comparison to nuclear power plants which run for not more than 65% time.
Being modular, the earth solution energy systems can easily be transported anywhere.
It can also be used to produce both peaking power as well as baseline power.
Earth solution energy systems can easily be built in less than 6 months time.
The development of Earth solution energy systems has had a huge positive impact on our environment in contrast to the development of other conventional sources of energy.
The Earth solution power plants emit Sulphur which is only a small percentage of that emitted by fossil fuels.
The new generation of Earth solution energy systems emits not more than 135 grams of carbon per megawatt per hour.
In the same way, the emission of nitrogen oxide is also much lower in geothermal plants as compared to fossil plants.
The nitrogen oxide is extremely harmful as it gives rise to ground level ozone on mixing with hydrocarbon vapors which leads to various health hazards.
The Earth solution power plants do not require much land area.
It can be set up in a small fraction of land in comparison to the land taken up by other power plants.
Due to all these advantages, the Earth solution energy system is the energy solution for the future.
