Fig. 5: Power output (or electricity generation) capacity during one year for all our cases.

From: On the limitations of closed-loop geothermal systems for electricity generation outside high-geothermal gradient fields

Fig. 5

Surface flow rates of a 12.5 kg/s, b 25 kg/s, c 50 kg/s, and d 75 kg/s. The color scheme of the curves is the same as in Fig. 4. The blue curve in (d) runs along the x-axis after a while because the temperature drops below 100 °C (as seen in Fig. 4), which makes it unsuitable for electricity generation.
