When temperatures of geothermal resource are high enough, i.e. exceeding 150 degrees Celsius, one can engage into electricity production from geothermal. In some cases, lower fluid temperatures are used in so called Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) or Kalina cycle to generate electricity. This complex mechanical process makes use of turbines which utili...
