Purpose. In article is organized analysis of the influence state of working circulation pump on economy of the systems low-potential complex and on the general economy of the work heat and atomic power stations. The organized analysis of the field-performance data of the systems low-potential complex Zaporozhskoy NPS in cut of the year, which has shown that as criterion to economy of the work low-potential complex can be accepted importance of the increase the production to powers of the compartment of steam turbine to power stations. Methodology. On the grounds of mathematical modeling main dependencies, which characterize efficiency of the functioning the systems low-potential complex. Results. The certain reserve energysave at increasing of efficiency of the functioning the systems low-potential complex. So total value of the losses to disposable energy in low-potential complex for energyblock HPS power 300–1200 MWt forms 7–8 % for systems of the water-supply with water-chiller and evaporation and 8–10 % for systems with radiator are determined. The organized analysis of the experimental features energyblock 300 MWt Zmievskoy HPS and is determined dependency of the pressure pair is in capacitor from the temperature circulation water and consumption pair under fixed consumption circulation water. Analytical dependencies, which allow coming from the known importance of the consumption pair, the temperature circulation water and desired pressure in capacitor to define the necessary consumption cooling water, under which will are provided given parameters are brought. Practical value. Comparative feature to energy efficiency of the functioning the system turbine-capacitor coming from features gain powers of the turbine for concrete consumption pair and dependencies of the consumption circulation water from consumed powers circulation pump will built. The broughted model of management system low-potential complex on criterion of the optimum of the consumption circulation water, under which total losses to energy will be minimum. On the grounds of afore-cited theoretical position

AbstractSeaweed ingress into the cooling water intakes of nuclear power stations has caused several disruptions to electricity supply. Seaweed is transported by tidal and wave-induced currents after dislodgement from the sea bed following stormy conditions but ingress will be shown to be not only determined by wave conditions. An integrated model system has been developed to predict such ingress and applied at the Torness power station in Scotland where the mass of seaweed recovered was measured for some ingress cases. Prior to each case, seaweed is assumed initially to be distributed in areas surveyed within the surrounding coastal domain with a mass per unit area based on local measurements. Criteria for dislodgement are based on near-bed velocity. Six cases where the mass of ingress was measured and two cases with no ingress have been modelled and predicted by adjusting a dislodgement factor (a multiplier on the threshold velocity) within a relatively narrow range.

Many shallow undersea tunnels have been built to circulate the cooling water for the thermal or nuclear power stations in recent years. In current study, a field monitoring of tide-influenced earth pressure on the tunnel was carried out by using the pad type pressure transducers. The variation of tidal level was also recorded carefully. The measured results of earth pressures and the tidal height were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. It can be found that there is a linear relation between the variation of load and tidal height. The computed values of the loadings based on tunnel pressure theory are almost the same with measurements.

An important aspect of environmental engineering is the control of greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel-fired power stations, for instance, represent a substantial contribution to this problem. Unless suitable steps are taken the accumulation of microbial deposits (biofouling) on the cooling water side of the steam condensers can reduce their efficiency and in consequence, the overall efficiency of power production, with an attendant increase in fuel consumption and henceCO2production. Biofouling control, therefore, is extremely important and can be exercised by chemical or physical techniques or a combination of both. The paper gives some examples of the effectiveness of different approaches to biofouling control.

A large quantity of the jellyfish, Aurelia aurita, invade cooling water systems and cause serious problems at several electric power stations in Japan. In the present study, we examined intra—species genetic variation of A. aurita in Wakasa Bay, Japan in order to estimate the original polyp habitat of the adult medusae invading electric power stations. Total DNA was extracted from the adult medusae and the wild polyps, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed using the specific primers for amplification of nuclear internal transcribed spacer one (ITS-1) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (CO1). Then the DNA sequences of the PCR products were compared. The results showed genetic polymorphism of A. aurita in Wakasa Bay and locally specific frequency of each haplotype. The haplotype frequency, especially in CO1, of the adults collected at one of the power stations in Wakasa Bay was similar to that of the polyp colonies at harbours in the embayed area, not at another harbour in the western entrance of the bay. The polymorphic analysis is, therefore, thought to be useful for the determination of original polyp habitat as source of the adult medusae in relatively limited regions such as Wakasa Bay.
