Indonesia as the biggest geothermal potential country in the world. There are252 geothermal locations have been identified that distributed along a volcanicbelt extending from Sumatera, Java, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, Maluku untilPapua. Utilization of this energy be side for electrical power generation, it is usedfor non electrical (direct uses) as well. In the agriculture area with high rainfall,drying process can decrease quality of crop products. The tools doesn’t produceemission and doesn’t make noises and also as clean energy. By optimization theutilization of geothermal energy that available surrounding the agriculture areacould increase the local people economic.

Sir Charles Parsons died some three years after the author was born. In this paper the author looks back at the pioneering work of Parsons in the field of power generation. It shows how he was able to increase output of the steam turbine generator from 7.5 kW in 1884 to 50000 kW in 1930 while increasing efficiency from 1.6 to 36 per cent, and relates these achievements to the current state of the art. Blading design, rotor construction and other aspects of turbine engineering are considered. The conclusion is that Parsons and his associates charted the course which manufacturers and utilities throughout the world have continued to follow, although increasingly sophisticated design and analytical methods have succeeded the intuitive approach of Parsons. His constant search for improved efficiency was and is highly relevant to today's concern for the environment. Finally, although it did not become a practical proposition in his lifetime, the paper reviews Parsons' vision of, and continuing interest in, the gas turbine, first mentioned in his 1884 patents.
