The main purpose of this assignment is for you to think about the 3rd type: the "binary cycle" geothermal power station. It's the design used when the well brings up water that isn't extremely hot, but "regular hot" (generally between 100 and 180 degrees Celsius). Binary cycle is similar to the other two types in one way: after the hot water has transferred its energy, it is recycled by being pumped deep into the ground (study the diagram). What is the name of the part that returns the water to the ground? * Binary Cycle Power Plant Load Turbine Generator Heat exchanger with working fluid Rock layers Production well Injection well
Estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from power production for the following threescenarios. Focus on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with theoperational energy, not the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacture of theproduct or end of life processes.The hourly load demand for a home is given.1) All power during an hour of up to 5 kW is drawn from a baseload coal powerplant. Any power in excess of that amount is drawn from a peaker plant running as anatural gas combined cycle power plant.2) Localized solar energy production is provided in the table on the next page.Energy demand by the house is first met by this solar generation. If the total hourlyenergy demand is below 5 kW, then any extra energy required beyond that provided bythe solar panels is drawn from a coal power plant. If the total hourly demand is above 5kW, then any extra hour demand beyond 5 kW is met by a natural gas combined cyclepower plant. No credit is given if the solar energy production…
