What This Module is About
People have always been fascinated with volcanoes and their intense displays
of nature’s power. During prehistoric period, humans believed that volcanoes were
homes to gods or goddesses. But today, science tells us that volcanoes result from
the immense heat energy---geothermal energy---found internal of the Earth’s.
There are many forms of energy: like solar, wind, and wave but the much safer
than most of the other energy sources that can be tapped to generate electricity and
that is Geothermal Energy. But what is Geothermal Energy?

The sun is Earth’s main source of energy. It has a vast amount of energy. The
sun is considered Earth’s main energy source since most of our energy sources derive
their energy from it. There are two types of energy resources on Earth – renewable
and nonrenewable. A renewable energy source or alternative energy is one that can
be replaced in a short period of time such as solar energy and hydropower energy
while a nonrenewable energy source takes millions of years to replace or can never
be replenished. These energy sources can be used in many ways.
What’s New
What Is It
If you were to dig a big hole straight down into the ground, you would notice
that the temperature deep down below is getting hotter the deeper you go. Why? That
is because the interior of the Earth is full of heat. That heat is referred to Geothermal
Energy!
The term geothermal energy is easy to remember if you will break it down! The
Greek word geo refers to the Earth, and thermal means heat, so geothermal energy
is energy from Earth’s heat. This energy is then used to power generators in the
production of electricity.
Do the next activity to locate the different geothermal power plant in the Philippines.

In the Philippines, geothermal energy is one of the sources used to
generate electricity. The activity below will help recall lesson 1 about geothermal
energy and places where geothermal power plants were operated.
Activity 1. Modified True or False. Write True if the statement is true. If it is False,
change the underlined word or group of words to make it correct.
OBJECTIVE: After this activity, you should be able to identify the main components
in a geothermal power plant.

Draw a BOX ( ) inside of that word if it is part of the power plant.
1. FIRE
2. STEAM
3. WINDMILL
4. GENERATOR
5. WATERFALLS
6. TRANSFORMER
7. SOLAR
8. TURBINE
There are different processes involved on how a geothermal power plants work.
For the next activity, you will learn steps in the operation of geothermal power plants.
OBJECTIVE: After this activity, you should be able to arrange the different steps to
generate an electricity out of the geothermal energy.
8
PROCEDURE: Read each of the statement below and arrange the following steps
on what comes first up to the last through writing the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
_____The electrical energy from the generator will travel to the transformer.
_____Pumping the hot water from geothermal energy.
_____Cold water is being pumped back again to the underground.
_____Steam supplies the turbine causes to rotate.
_____The generator produces electricity.
What Is It
A geothermal power plant generates electricity from geothermal energy (Earth’s
heat source). The main components of this power plants include: TURBINE-
composed of wheels which is driven by a water or a gas, GENERATOR- type of
machine made up of coils of wire to produce electricity, and TRANSFORMER-
electrical device used to transfer electrical charges.
Here are the basic steps on how this geothermal power plant generates
electricity:
1. Pumping the hot water from geothermal resource.
2. How water will travel through pipelines and reaching a particular tank where it
turns into steam (water in a gas form).
3. The steam supplies the turbine which causes to rotate in a continuous process.
4. A turbine is connected to a generator which electricity is being produced.
5. From the generator, electrical energy will travel into a transformer which is
responsible to transport to the different power lines.
6. The excess steam pass through a cooling station where it condenses (gas to
liquid).
7. The cold water is being pumped back again to the geothermal source to start the
process again.
Study the picture below.
OBJECTIVE: After this activity, you should be able to trace the steps on how a
geothermal power plant works though a flow chart.
DATA GATHERING: Complete the given flow chart by writing the answers inside
each of the box. You may refer on the choices below.
Cold water geothermal resource crystallizer-reactor steam
Transformer turbine generator pipelines injection well cooling station
1.(the hot water is being pumped) 2. (where the hot water travels) 3. (gaseous state of water)

What I Have Learned
Fill in the missing words below. Choose your answer inside the box.
There are different steps involve in generating electricity from the geothermal
energy. First, the ______ water is being _______ from the geothermal reservoir
through_______. This water will turn into _______ as it reaches to the surface. From
this process, it will travel to a rotating device called _______ which then connects to
another device called________. And at this point, there is now a production
of_______. The transformer will now supply the different ________. There are portions
of steam that becomes cold ______ because it passes through a cooling station. And
it will be pumped again to the geothermal reservoir to ______ a new process.
What I Can Do
Suppose you had found out that your father had inherited a large area of land
which can be a great source of geothermal energy. The local government had been
negotiated already your father about the operation on building a possible geothermal
power plant on his inherited land. But your father wants to know more about this power
plant. Your task is to make an illustration/drawing how does the geothermal power
plant works so that your father will understand the whole process. And you will help
him to decide. You can draw based from what you had learned from this module. Use
the space below for your illustration.
