English: Diagram showing how electricity is generated in a vapor-dominated hydrothermal system. Steam is used directly from the wells to drive a turbine generator. Wastewater from the condenser is injected back into the subsurface to help extend the useful life of the hydrothermal system.

Another binary cycle geothermal power plant was taken into operation in 1967 near Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka peninsula, Russia. It was rated at 670 kW and ran for an unknown number of years, proving the concept of binary cycle geothermal power plants. [4] The first commercial-sized binary cycle geothermal plant was completed in 1979.

Dry steam power directly uses geothermal steam of 150 °C or greater to turn turbines. [3] As the turbine rotates it powers a generator that produces electricity and adds to the power field. [26] Then, the steam is emitted to a condenser, where it turns back into a liquid, which then cools the water. [27]
The first geothermal power plant in the Tiwi region opened in 1979, while two other plants followed in 1980 and 1982. [58] The Tiwi geothermal field is located about 450 km from Manila. [61] The three geothermal power plants in the Tiwi region produce 330 MWe, putting the Philippines behind the United States and Mexico in geothermal growth. [62]
A thermal power station, also known as a thermal power plant, is a type of power station in which the heat energy generated from various fuel sources (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc.) is converted to electrical energy. [1]
Mutnovskaya power station is a geothermal power plant. It is the largest geothermal power plant in Russia, 60 km south from the administrative center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka region, on the bank of the Falshivaya River. Its capacity is 50 MW. The plant is operated by Geotherm JSC, a subsidiary of PJSC RusHydro. [1]
