   Unlike solar and wind generation, which depend upon a shining sun or a stiff breeze, geothermal power could offer consistent 24/7 energy derived from heat that increases the deeper into the earth ...

3. Geothermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy

   Geothermal energy has been exploited as a source of heat and/or electric power for millennia. Geothermal heating, using water from hot springs, for example, has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since Roman times. Geothermal power (generation of electricity from geothermal energy), has been used since the 20th ...

6. Geothermal power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power

   Geothermal power is electrical power generated from geothermal energy. Technologies in use include dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations and binary cycle power stations. Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 26 countries, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] while geothermal heating is in use in 70 countries.

7. Binary cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_cycle

   A binary cycle is a method for generating electrical power from geothermal resources and employs two separate fluid cycles, hence binary cycle. The primary cycle extracts the geothermal energy from the reservoir, and secondary cycle converts the heat into work to drive the generator and generate electricity. [1]
