The power plants approach based on three different techniques are dry steam power plants, flash steam power plants, and binary cycle power plants.

Heat pump used for cooling homes in summer and heat it in winter.

Moreover, this paper summarized, historical background of development geothermal energy, main technologies used in this field, installed geothermal electric capacity for two period are 2007 and 2010 for 24 countries.
