The schematic of a single-flash geothermal power plant with state numbers is given in Figure below. A geothermal resource exists as saturated liquid at 230 °C. The geothermal liquid is withdrawn from the production well at a rate of 230 kg/s and flashed to a pressure of 500 kPa by an essentially isenthalpic flashing process, where the resulting vapor is separated from the liquid in a separator and directed to the turbine.

A power station consists of a four-unit coal fired power station, having a combined capacity of 2,880 MW. The current efficiency of each unit is around 37.7%.
