For high-pressure steam-dominated resources, a geothermal combined cycle plant uses both a steam turbine and a binary cycle ORMAT ENERGY CONVERTER

• The high-pressure steam from the separator drives a back pressure turbine, the most efficient use of steam at this stage in the cycle.
• The low-pressure steam exits the turbine at a positive pressure and flows into the vaporizer of a bottoming ORMAT® ENERGY CONVERTER (OEC).
• The heat of condensation of the low-pressure stream is used to vaporize the organic motive fluid and the expansion of these vapors drives the organic turbine.
• The organic vapors are then condensed and pumped back into the pre-heater and the geothermal fluid is re-injected.
• Since the steam pressure in the vaporizer remains positive, the non-condensable gases (NCG) can simply be vented without any loss of power.
• The steam condensed in the OEC heat exchangers is re-injected as condensate to the reservoir.
