Geothermal energy is considered as one of the few renewable resources that can be used for base load power generation. The word Geothermal comes from the Greek word Geo-(Earth) & Therme-(Heat) & means the heat of earth. Earth's interior heat originated from its fiery consolidation from dust & gas over 4 billion years ago & is continuously regenerated from the decay of radio-active element. That's why it is considered as a renewable energy. The heat continuously flowing from the Earth's interior is estimated to be equivalent to 42 million megawatts of power. The current study is on utilizing the vast amount of thermal energy through Stirling engine. Stirling engine has fetched much attention over many years. Its potential for high efficiency and the ability to use a variety of fuels has made it a serious competitor for alternative power sources.

Abstract


Geothermal energy is considered as one of the few renewable resources that can be used for base load power generation. The word Geothermal comes from the Greek word Geo-(Earth) & Therme-(Heat) & means the heat of earth. Earth's interior heat originated from its fiery consolidation from dust & gas over 4 billion years ago & is continuously regenerated from the decay of radio-active element. That's why it is considered as a renewable energy. The heat continuously flowing from the Earth's interior is estimated to be equivalent to 42 million megawatts of power. The current study is on utilizing the vast amount of thermal energy through Stirling engine. Stirling engine has fetched much attention over many years. Its potential for high efficiency and the ability to use a variety of fuels has made it a serious competitor for alternative power sources.
