Geothermal electricity 3 costs in the tens of millions of dollars.[19] The technological challenges are to drill wide bores at low cost and to break larger volumes of rock. Geothermal power is considered to be sustainable because the heat extraction is small compared to the Earth's heat content, but extraction must still be monitored to avoid local depletion.[4] Although geothermal sites are capable of providing heat for many decades, individual wells may cool down or run out of water. The three oldest sites, at Larderello, Wairakei, and the Geysers have all reduced production from their peaks. It is not clear whether these plants extracted energy faster than it was replenished from greater depths, or whether the aquifers supplying them are being depleted. If production is reduced, and water is reinjected, these wells could theoretically recover their full potential. Such mitigation strategies have already been implemented at some sites. The long-term sustainability of geothermal energy has been demonstrated at the Lardarello field in Italy since 1913, at the Wairakei field in New Zealand since 1958,[20] and at The Geysers field in California since 1960.[21] Power station types Dry steam power plants Dry steam plant Flash steam plant Dry steam plants are the simplest and oldest design. They directly use geothermal steam of 150°C or more to turn turbines.[2] Flash steam power plants Flash steam plants pull deep, high-pressure hot water into lower-pressure tanks and use the resulting flashed steam to drive turbines. They require fluid temperatures of at least 180°C, usually more. This is the most common type of plant in operation today.[22] Binary cycle power plants Binary cycle power plants are the most recent development, and can accept fluid temperatures as low as 57°C.[11] The moderately hot geothermal water is passed by a secondary fluid with a much lower boiling point than water. This causes the secondary fluid to flash to vapor, which then drives the turbines. This is the most common type of geothermal electricity plant being built today.[23] Both Organic Rankine and Kalina cycles are used. The thermal efficiency is typically about 10%.
