Hellisheidi geothermal power plant, Iceland
Iceland uses geothermal power to generate electricity and to provide hot water. Hydroelectric power is used to operate the aluminum smelting plants. I visited the Hellisheidi plant near Reykjavik and saw the actual equipment at work. An interesting fact is a quarter of Iceland is an active volcanic zone. Scary.

Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Plant
The Nesjavellir geothermal field is a high-enthalpy geothermal system within the Hengill area of SW-Iceland. Construction of the geothermal power plant began in 1987 and the first stage of the thermal plant was commissioned in 1990, following an intensive drilling and testing phase in the 1980s. The last 30 MWe turbine generator unit was commissioned in 2005.
Mannvit Engineering of Iceland played a leading role in the design & development of the Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Plant, a combined heat and power plant.

SUMMARY
=======
The Svartsengi Power Station (Svartsengi (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsvar̥sˌɛiɲcɪ]); black meadow in Icelandic) is a geothermal power plant, which is located in the Svartsengi geothermal field, about four km north of Grindavík, approximately 20 km SE of Keflavík International Airport and 45 km from Reykjavík.
The electric power station was built in 1976 by the subsidiary of Alterra Power, HS Orka and it was the world´s first geothermal power plant for electric power generation and hot water production for district heating.
The power station, which consists of an area of 150 ha, was constructed in six sequent phases (finished in 2008), in each phase they built a new power plant, so the generation capacity increased to 150 MWth for the district heating and the nameplate capacity to 75 MW for electricity power.Since the Svartsengi Power Station is the only heating system for the local district on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which pipes hot geothermal water to more than 21,000 households, it is considered one of the most important heating plants.This Geothermal Power Plant does not only produce hot water and energy, it also produces spin-offs: One of these side product is one of Iceland's popular bathing resort, the Blue Lagoon and another spin off is the first renewable methanol plant Carbon Recycling International.

The science behind geothermal activity in Iceland
Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa, Grindavík, Southwest Iceland, Iceland, Europe
The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The spa is located in a lava field in Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwestern Iceland. Bláa lónið is situated approximately 20 km (12 miles) from the Keflavík International Airport and 39 km (24 miles) from the capital city of Reykjavík. That is roughly a 20 minute drive from the airport and a 40 minute drive from Reykjavík. The Blue Lagoon spa and geothermal complex is clearly visible from any of the usual satellite imagery sources at coordinates (63.880, -22.449). The warm waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulphur and bathing in the Blue Lagoon is reputed to help some people suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis. The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages 37–39 °C (98–102 °F). The Blue Lagoon also operates a research and development facility to help find cures for other skin ailments using the mineral-rich water. The lagoon is a man-made lagoon which is fed by the water output of the nearby geothermal power plant Svartsengi and is renewed every two days. Superheated water is vented from the ground near a lava flow and used to run turbines that generate electricity. After going through the turbines, the steam and hot water passes through a heat exchanger to provide heat for a municipal water heating system. Then the water is fed into the lagoon for recreational and medicinal users to bathe in. Iceland has a strict code of hygiene and guests are required to shower before and after bathing. The rich mineral content is provided by the underground geological layers and pushed up to the surface by the hot water (at about 1.2 megapascals (170 psi) pressure and 240 °C (464 °F) temperature) used by the plant. Because of its mineral concentration, water cannot be recycled and must be disposed of in the nearby landscape, a permeable lava field 50 cm to 1 meter thick. The silicate minerals is the primary cause of that water's beautiful milky blue shade assuring the touristic resort's success. After the minerals have formed a deposit, the water reinfiltrates the ground, but the deposit renders it impermeable over time, hence the necessity for the plant to continuously dig new ponds in the nearby lava field. A small experimental facility is still visible near the plant, where the engineers made decantation tests to evaluate the speed of mineral deposition, which is clearly a limiting factor both to the plant's rentability and sustainability. Hence, geothermal energy exploitation at this location is not without environmental impact. The Blue Lagoon was used as the pit stop for the first leg of The Amazing Race 6. The Blue Lagoon was used for the thermal spa scenes in the filming of Hostel: Part II. It was also shown in the Incubus documentary Look Alive, when the band visited Iceland, as well as in the of Britain's Next Top Model which used as photoshoot location. The Blue Lagoon is situated close to the world's first renewable methanol plant, which uses Carbon Recycling International's carbon dioxide to methanol fuel process. In 1976 a pool formed at the site from the waste water of the geothermal power plant that had just been built there. In 1981 people started bathing in it after the discovery of its healing powers for psoriasis. In 1992 the Blue Lagoon company was established and the bathing facility was opened for the public.

Krafla geothermal power plant , Iceland
Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP). геотермальная электростанция Крафла.
На поле Крафла (Krafla) в северо-восточной Исландии пробурили скважину IDDP-1 глубиной 2080 метров, над которой построили самую мощную геотермальную станцию в мире. Энергию получают из сильно перегретой магмой водной жидкости (до 330 градусов Цельсия). Магма в роли котла. Отработавший пар охлаждают в здании с перевернутыми ракетными соплами на крыше и закачивают обратно на глубину под землю, убивая сразу 2-х зайцев:
- поддержка давления в водоносном пласте;
- токсичные примеси термальных вод не попадают в открытый водоем.
Iceland - Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station HD (2014)
The Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station is the second largest geothermal power station in Iceland. The facility is located 177 m (581 ft) above sea level in the southwestern part of the country, near Thingvellir and the Hengill Volcano.
Plans for utilizing the Nesjavellir area for geothermal power and water heating began in 1947, when some boreholes were drilled to evaluate the area's potential for power generation. Research continued from 1965 to 1986. In 1987, the construction of the plant began, and the cornerstone was laid in May 1990. The station produces approximately 120 MW of electrical power; it also delivers around 1,100 litres (290 US gal) of hot water (82-85°C) per second, servicing the space heating and hot water needs of the Capital Region.
