Geothermal power station, Iceland
Numéro d’image : 13620186
| Geothermal power station, Iceland. Iceland uses geothermal energy to produce electricity and Reykjanesvirkjun, a geothermal power plant commissioned in 2006, generates around 100 MW. The energy is taken from 12 boreholes, 1, 800-2, 600 m deep, at a temperature of 285-315 degrees Celsius and transported to the powerhouse in heavily insulated pipes. This is the highest temperature currently used for electricity generation. Seawater is used for cooling. The power plant comprises several buildings beside the powerhouse including conveying stations and dividing stations. About 25 per cent of Iceland's electricity is generated by geothermal power plants. Photographed in Reykjanes, Iceland. | |
