Dry steam power plants draw and use the steam directly from underground geothermal

reservoir. The steam is piped straight from the underground well to the power plant, where it

drives the generator turbine to produce electricity.

Encyclopaedia Britannica

Binary cycle power plants use the heat from the hot water to boil a working fluid which is

vaporized in a heat exchanger and used to turn a turbine. The water is re-injected back into the

ground to be reheated.
