In future renewable energy’s plays an important role. Energy is important for the development of a nation. As energy requirement for a country is increasing every day we have rely on renewable energy sources. Some of the renewable energy sources are bio power, geothermal energy, hydro electric power, wind power, wave power, solar energy, tidal energy and many other are available. Depending upon the geographical location the choice of the renewable source of energy is varied. With one time investment on infrastructure we can harness power for many years with proper maintenance. Every country has to look up the resources available in their nation and utilize it efficiently. Geothermal energy is one which is used least in the world. Philippines and Iceland are the only countries using this source of renewable energy. how geothermal power works is very simple.Binary cycle power plants, hot dry rock geothermal energy, dry steam plants, and flash steam plants are the conventional geothermal methods. There are also some different ways that geothermal energy can be harnessed and converted into useful energy. Major advantages of geothermal energy are
• Requires no fuel and is therefore emissions free
• Capacity factor is quite large as energy source is constant
Though they have some disadvantages they have very good advantages which prove them to be one of the best sources of renewable energy.
