 Definition
of Geothermal Energy
Geothermal Energy :
Renewable energy
Internal heat Earth
 Using of Geothermal Energy
Dry steam power plant :
( steam fractures => turbines )

Flash steam power plant :

( pressured hot water underground
cooler fluid )
changed pressure = steam => turbines
 Using of Geothermal Energy

Binary cycle power plant :

( pressured hot water fluid low boiling
= steam => turbines )
 Presentation of the
Factory of Bouillante :
Location : Guadeloupe,, Caribbeans (volcanic activities )
Production : 100/110 GWh by year
6/7% consumption => Guadeloupe
Composition : 2 unities
Bouillante 1 => 30 GWh
Bouillante 2 => 70 GWh
 Operating of the factory
Captation of geothermal fluid (250-260°/,500-1000m)
Isolation water-steam
activation turbines => steam
Production electricity
Advantages VS. Inconveniences
Renewable e,nergy Danger of seism
Eco-friendly High price (15 000€)
Almost mondial energy Risk of pollution
reduction consumption
water & heating
(30/80%)
