Geothermal power offers both firm and flexible solutions to the changing U.S. power system by providing a range of services including but not limited to baseload, regulation, load following or energy imbalance, spinning reserve, non-spinning reserve, and replacement or supplemental reserve.
This document discusses the environmental impacts of geothermal power plants. It states that while some impacts are inevitable, they are generally minor compared to other power sources like fossil fuels. The main impacts discussed include air emissions, water usage, land usage, water pollution, induced seismicity, noise pollution, and disturbance of wildlife habitats. However, the document emphasizes that with proper regulation and use of abatement technologies, geothermal energy can be one of the most environmentally friendly power sources due to its low emissions and minimal use of chemicals.
The document discusses various alternative energy sources including renewable sources like solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass as well as non-renewable sources like fossil fuels and nuclear energy. It provides details on different solar energy technologies like solar thermal, photovoltaic, and passive solar. Hydropower harnesses the kinetic energy of moving water through various methods like dams, run-of-river systems, tidal power, and wave power. While fossil fuels and nuclear energy are easier to use, renewable sources are more environmentally friendly and sustainable long-term options.
Geothermal power plants use thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth to generate electricity. There are two main types - dry steam plants that use steam directly, and flash steam plants that use steam produced from high-pressure hot water. Geothermal energy has significant cost savings over fossil fuels due to low operating costs and no fuel usage. While beneficial for the environment, geothermal plants are only suitable for regions with sufficient underground heat and may release harmful gases.
Geothermal Energy- Why should We Use Geothermal EnergyDavid Stoffel
Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy stored as heat within the Earth. It can be extracted and converted to electricity without burning fossil fuels, making it clean and low emission. Unlike fossil fuels which are finite, geothermal energy is essentially limitless since heat continually radiates from the Earth's interior. Geothermal power also provides base load stability for the electric grid, can reduce the carbon footprint of buildings for heating and cooling, is highly scalable, and has a small land footprint making it suitable for dense urban areas.
