That's exactly what Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L) has done at two of its generation plants near Kansas City by installing software from Wonderware...

PNOC-EDC Uses Wonderware® Software to Generate Electricity from Geothermal Steam
Mindanao, The Philippines -- The source of geothermal power is the heat contained inside the Earth, a heat so intense that it creates molten magma. There are several types of geothermal systems formed when hot magma nears the surface (1,500 to 10,000 meters deep) and heats groundwater directly. The heat generated from these "hot spots" flows outward toward the surface, manifesting as volcanoes, geysers and hot springs. Naturally occurring hot water and steam can be tapped by energy-conversion technology to generate electricity...
