Geothermal Energy is the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth’s surface. so we should know about this. In this PPT you can get various knowledge about that.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy formed from the remains of ancient organisms. They cause air and water pollution when burned and are found in limited reserves. Biomass is plant matter grown to generate electricity or heat, while biogas is produced from organic waste through anaerobic digestion. Wind energy uses wind turbines to generate electricity from kinetic wind energy. Solar energy uses solar panels and cookers to convert sunlight into electricity or heat energy. Tidal, wave, and ocean thermal energy convert the kinetic energy of tides and ocean temperature differences into electricity. Geothermal energy uses underground heat sources to generate steam and electricity. Nuclear energy produces energy through either nuclear fission of uranium atoms or nuclear fusion of
Energy can be obtained from various sources and is divided into conventional and non-conventional sources. Conventional sources include fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas, which were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals but are being depleted. Non-conventional sources include renewable energy from solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source and their combustion causes air and water pollution and global warming, so they must be used judiciously and alternatives developed.
The document discusses various energy sources including fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas which were formed from ancient plants. It also discusses renewable sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal energy as well as nuclear energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable since they are being used faster than they can be replaced, while solar is considered an inexhaustible source since the sun will provide energy for billions of years. The document provides information on how different energy sources work and their advantages and disadvantages.
This document provides an overview of geothermal energy. It discusses that geothermal energy comes from heat within the Earth, primarily from radioactive decay and original formation. History of geothermal energy use is described from ancient hot springs to the first geothermal power plant in 1911. Resources section notes Earth's internal heat flow and potential. Direct uses include heating and greenhouses. Geothermal electricity is generated in 24 countries as of 2010, led by the US. Advantages are renewable and continuous energy, while disadvantages include costs and potential pollution from fluids.
Nuclear energy is generated from nuclear fission or fusion reactions. Fission occurs when heavy radioactive elements like uranium split, releasing heat that can be used to generate electricity. Fusion combines light elements like hydrogen to form heavier elements and release energy, but cannot currently be used to generate electricity. There are two main ways to obtain nuclear energy - nuclear fission in power plants, which produces most nuclear energy today, and nuclear fusion, which powers the sun but has not been achieved on Earth. Nuclear energy has advantages of low emissions but disadvantages of high costs and radioactive waste storage challenges.
1. The Earth can be understood as a complex system consisting of interacting subsystems - the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
2. These subsystems constantly exchange energy and matter through biogeochemical cycles like the carbon, water, and rock cycles. The sun is the main external source powering these cycles.
3. Together, the subsystems have coevolved over billions of years through processes operating across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, from microns to thousands of kilometers and milliseconds to millions of years.
Geothermal power generates electricity by harnessing heat from within the Earth. It is considered a renewable resource, though specific locations can eventually be depleted as the ground cools over many decades. Three main types of geothermal power plants exist - dry steam, flash, and binary cycle plants. The largest geothermal facility in the world is The Geysers in California, while other significant sites include those in Nevada, Indonesia, and Kenya. Geothermal energy also shows promise for desalination and heating applications.

Optimizing Geothermal Resources
Efforts to use other fossil fuels are relatively inexpensive, such as gas and coal reserves of the world, adding to the community's dependence on fixed harness the energy source.Competitive electricity prices do not become less attractive to investors in investing.There have been many government policies that have been developed to increase the utilization of sustainable energy sources. However, to build new plants or even increase the installed capacity in the Work Area Mining (WKP) which has existed just steps still halting.The main obstacle seems today is the lack of integration between national energy policy with the implementation of government and stakeholders to do. It is time for the government to think far ahead, to improve the quality of life of the world to use it, through the heat of the earth as a supplier of electricity.
Geothermal energy comes from heat within the Earth that is used for electricity generation and direct applications. Historically, hot springs have been used for bathing for centuries and the oldest known geothermal district heating system has operated in France since the 14th century. Today, over 30 GW of geothermal power is developed globally. Resources include 44.2 TW of heat flowing from the Earth's interior and temperatures of 25-30°C per km of depth. Direct uses include district heating, greenhouses, and industrial processes. Electricity is generated via dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle power plants. Iceland is a leader in direct geothermal use for heating homes.

This document provides an overview of geothermal power plants. It discusses two main types: condensing power plants that use reservoirs between 200-320°C, and binary fluid power plants that can use temperatures as low as 120°C. The document also briefly touches on the advantages of integrated use of geothermal resources for electricity and hot water. Additionally, it summarizes a global survey of geothermal power plants by country, conversion system used, and role in electricity generation. Environmental abatement measures and technical challenges are also outlined.
Geothermal energy has been used for centuries to produce hot water for bathing and heating. Modern geothermal energy production began in 1904 in Italy when Piero Ginori Conti built the first geothermal generator. This generator powered some light bulbs and marked the beginning of geothermal energy production. The most common type of geothermal plant is the flash steam power plant, which was invented in New Zealand. This plant uses hot water reservoirs to produce steam and generate electricity. While geothermal energy has advanced, limitations remain around transporting heat over long distances and connecting plants to existing power grids.
Kentucky currently relies mainly on coal for energy, which pollutes and contributes to global warming. Geothermal energy is a cleaner alternative that involves using heat from within the Earth. It can be used to generate electricity without pollution and also heat homes directly. Switching from coal to geothermal energy in Kentucky would reduce pollution, allow coal to be sold elsewhere, and be a more sustainable option overall.

Geothermal power generates electricity by harnessing heat from within the Earth. It is considered a renewable resource, though individual locations can eventually be depleted as the ground cools over many decades. There are three main types of geothermal power plants - dry steam, flash, and binary. The largest geothermal plant is at The Geysers in California, producing around 1000 MW of power. Geothermal energy is also used globally with significant resources in the US, Philippines, Indonesia, and East African Rift region. While the heat source is ultimately finite, geothermal energy can provide electricity and heat for many decades from a single location.
Energy is Ability to do work.
The energy can take a wide variety of forms - heat (thermal), light (radiant), mechanical, electrical, chemical, and nuclear energy. There are two types of energy - stored (potential) energy and working (kinetic) energy. For example, the food you eat contains chemical energy, and your body stores this energy until you release it when you work or play.
Global Examples of Renewable Energy and Their Futures in the United StatesKirk Williamson, MPH
This document summarizes global examples of renewable energy implementation with a focus on geothermal energy in Iceland and opportunities for the United States. Iceland has successfully harnessed geothermal energy, providing heat to 90% of homes and meeting 30% of electricity needs. Despite similar geological conditions, Hawaii has been less proactive in developing geothermal energy due to some cultural issues. The document argues Hawaii and other US regions could benefit economically and environmentally from increased geothermal energy development with proper research, support and engagement with indigenous communities.
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth from radioactive decay within the Earth. It can be harnessed to generate electricity. Iceland generates the most geothermal energy for heating and the United States generates the most geothermal electricity. Geothermal energy production is the third highest among renewable energies and has significant cost savings compared to coal with very low carbon emissions.
Geothermal energy harnesses the natural heat from within the earth for heating and cooling buildings and generating electricity. It has been used since the early 1800s when settlers discovered hot springs. The first geothermal power plant was built in Italy in 1904. While geothermal has many benefits like being renewable and unaffected by weather, drawbacks include high initial costs and location dependence. It works by circulating temperature-sensitive fluids through underground loops that are heated or cooled by the earth's constant temperature before being used to heat or cool buildings.
Geothermal electricity is generated by harnessing heat from within the Earth through technologies like dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle power stations. Current worldwide installed geothermal capacity is 10,715 megawatts, with the largest capacity in the United States. Geothermal power produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuel power plants. While geothermal resources are considered sustainable, extraction must be monitored to avoid local depletion of individual wells or aquifers over time.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

Geothermal energy
1.
2. Geothermal Energy is the thermal
energy generated and stored in the
Earth’s surface.
3.
4. Hot springs have been used for bathing
at least since Paleolithic times the
oldest known spa is a stone pool
on China’s Lisan mountain built in the
Qin dynasty in the 3rd century BC.
In 1892, America's first district heating
system in Boise, Idaho was powered
directly by geothermal energy.
A deep geothermal well was used to
heat greenhouses in Boise in 1926, and
geysers were used to heat greenhouses
in Iceland and Tuscany at about the
same time.
5. The Earth's internal
thermal energy flows
to the surface by
conduction at a rate of
44.2 terawatts (TW),
and is replenished by
radioactive decay of
minerals at a rate of
30 TW.
6. Outside of the seasonal
variations, the geothermal
gradient of temperatures
through the crust is 25–
30 °C (45–54 °F) per
kilometer of depth in most
of the world.
10. Electricity generation power plants
In 2012, six states had
geothermal power plants.
There are three types of
Power Plants:
Dry steam plants
Flash steam plants
Binary cycle power plants
12. In the 20th century,
demand for electricity led
to the consideration of
geothermal power as a
generating source. Prince
Piero tested the first
geothermal power
generator on 4 July 1904
in Italy. It successfully lit
four light bulbs.
13. Later, in 1911, the world's
first commercial
geothermal power plant
was built there.
Experimental generators
were built in Beppu,
Japan and the California,
in the 1920s, but Italy was
the world's only industrial
producer of geothermal
electricity until 1958.
14. The International
Geothermal Association
(IGA) has reported that
10,715 megawatts (MW)
of geothermal power in
24 countries is online,
which is expected to
generate 67,246 GWh of
electricity in 2010.
15. The largest group of geothermal power
plants in the world is located at The Geysers, a
geothermal field in California.

16. Environmental effects
Fluids drawn from the
deep earth carry a
mixture of gases, notably
Carbon dioxide (CO2),
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S),
Methane (CH4) and
Ammonia (NH3).
These pollutants
contribute to global
warming, acid rain, and
noxious smells if
released.
17. Environmental effects
Existing geothermal
electric plants emit an
average of 122 kilograms
(270 lb) of CO2 per
megawatt-hour (MWh)
of electricity, a small
fraction of the emission
intensity of conventional
fossil fuel plants.
