摘要

The needs for increasing amounts of electric power and for conserving locally limited fresh water supply can sometimes come into conflict. Since power plant cooling is the major use of water in most plants, it is the choice of cooling system that frequently mediates this conflict. Traditional wet-cooling systems have good efficiency and low cost but high water consumption; dry cooling virtually eliminates water consumption but at higher cost and reduced efficiency. Hybrid, wet/dry cooling systems enable significant water savings, albeit at higher cost, in comparison to wet cooling and provide improved plant efficiency and output at frequently lower cost in comparison to all-dry systems. This paper presents quantified tradeoffs among wet, dry and hybrid cooling systems for typical gas-fired, combined-cycle plants operating in a range of ambient conditions characteristic of the State of California in the US. The study uses an Excel spreadsheet-based computational tool to specify, at an "engineering-level", design parameters for optimized closed-cycle wet, direct dry and parallel wet/dry hybrid cooling systems. The results are validated with thermal performance and water consumption data from operating plants equipped with wet, dry and hybrid cooling systems. The tool is then used to establish the tradeoffs among the alternative cooling systems at five sites in California. The results will be used to estimate the economic and water availability benefits enabled by the selection of preferred cooling systems for future power development in California.
