Скачать или смотреть IS1 Power lines in Iceland. (340)

Iceland's high-voltage transmission system, operated by Landsnet, is essential for distributing the country's geothermal and hydroelectric power, with 220 kV, 132 kV, and 66 kV lines and approximately 70 substations covering the nation.
Iceland, a country with significant volcanic activity, makes extensive use of geothermal energy, extracting heat from the Earth's interior to generate electricity.
Following the principle that heat heats water, which creates pressure (similar to what happens when we cook beans), this pressure is channeled so that its mechanical force is used to make generators run, generating electricity, similar to a thermoelectric power plant, where pressure is produced by burning fuel, gas, or coal.
The difference is that in geothermal generation, what causes the heat is volcanic force, meaning it does not require fuel, as in conventional thermal power plants.
