As the main working fluid pair to transfer energy and cool down the equipment, water is used in a large amount in thermal power plants. It will promote water conservation and resource recycling if the water use is managed effectively in production and the wastewater, which come from circulating cooling water system, the pretreatment in boiler feed water preparation system, desalination system and condensate polishing system, is disposed and recycled well.

Once-through cooling water systems for thermal power plants offer an economical means of dissipating the differential energy of modern-day turbines. Before the decision to proceed with the design of a oncethrough cooling water system is made, a considerable study effort must be undertaken in order to determine that no harmful effects will accrue to the environment from the plant's operation. These studies must include: 1. A comprehensive literature search 2. Field investigations of the air and water 3. Analytical evaluation of the field data The Pacific Gas and Electric Company has been conducting environmental studies at its operating thermal power plants and at proposed sites since 1958. This paper describes the approach used by the Company in conducting environmental studies. Meteorological data were obtained from on-site sensors, stored on magnetic tape, and subsequently computer-processed. Oceanographic data in the form of water temperatures, salinity, and dissolved oxygen profiles, as well as current speed and direction, were obtained from surface vessels. Remote sensing systems were used to obtain dispersion and dilution information, sea-surface temperature data, and aerial photographs of flora indigenous to the study area. All remote-sensed data, except for the aerial photographs, were stored on magnetic tape, in flight, and later processed in the computer with graphic off-line printout.

In order to choose one elixir from three anti-scaling inhibitors A, B and C that most suits for the circulating cooling water in thermal power plants under certain water condition, we used the dynamic simulation test method in this paper. Under high concentration rate (4.0), we comprehensively analyzed the three elixirs from the factors of their anti-scaling, corrosion and economical performances. According to the results, it was confirmed that elixir B displayed the relevant good properties for the water condition of the power plant. Meantime, the elixir components of the three elixirs were analyzed, and the results showed that all the indexes of them were in conformity with the national standards.

Supercritical Fluids (SCFs) have unique thermophyscial properties and heat-transfer characteristics, which make them very attractive for use in power industry. In this chapter, specifics of thermophysical properties and heat transfer of SCFs such as water, carbon dioxide, and helium are considered and discussed. Also, particularities of heat transfer at Supercritical Pressures (SCPs) are presented, and the most accurate heat-transfer correlations are listed. Supercritical Water (SCW) is widely used as the working fluid in the SCP Rankine “steam”-turbine cycle in fossil-fuel thermal power plants. This increase in thermal efficiency is possible by application of high-temperature reactors and power cycles. Currently, six concepts of Generation-IV reactors are being developed, with coolant outlet temperatures of 500°C~1000°C. SCFs will be used as coolants (helium in GFRs and VHTRs, and SCW in SCWRs) and/or working fluids in power cycles (helium, mixture of nitrogen (80%) and helium (20%), nitrogen and carbon dioxide in Brayton gas-turbine cycles, and SCW/“steam” in Rankine cycle).

The effects of anti-scale, anti-corrosion and disinfection of circulating cooling water with electro-magnetic treatment and chemical treatment in the laboratory are compared. The applications of electro-magnetic treatment in power plants are summarized and discussed. The results of both experiments and applications in power plants show that the electro-magnetic treatment can be used in particular conditions, but the development of electro-magnetic treatment technology is immature. This technology used in circulating cooling water system in power plants should be further proved by more experiments and field applications.

Increase Energy Efficiency

The Rankine cycle is widely used for electricity production. Significant weight and size characteristics of the power equipment working on superheated steam are the main disadvantages of such power plants. The transition to supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) working fluid is a promising way to achieve a significant reduction in equipment metal consumption and to increase energy efficiency. This paper presents the results of thermodynamic analysis of S-CO2 thermal power plants (TPPs) utilizing the heat of combustion products of an energy boiler. It was found that the net efficiency of the developed S-CO2 TPP with a pulverized coal-fired boiler reached 49.2% at an initial temperature of 780 °C, which was 2% higher compared to the efficiency level of steam turbine power plants (STPPs) at a similar turbine inlet temperature.

Steam Power Plants

Most of the electricity being produced throughout the world today is from steam power plants. At the same time, many other competent means of gener-ating electricity have been developed viz. electricity from natural gas, MHD generators, biogas, solar cells, etc. But steam power plants will continue to be competent because of the use of water as the main working fluid which is abundantly available and is also reusable. The condenser remains among one of the key components of a steam power plant. The efficiency of a thermal power plant depends upon the efficiency of the condenser. In this paper, a the-oretical investigation about thermal analysis and design considerations of a steam condenser has been undertaken. A hybrid steam condenser using a higher surface area to diameter ratio of cooling a water tube has been analyzed. The use of a hybrid steam condenser enables higher efficiency of the steam power plant by lowering condenser steam pressure and increasing the vacuum inside the con-denser. The latent/sensible heat of steam is used to preheat the feed water supply to the boiler. A con-ceptual technological design aspect of a super vacu-um hybrid surface steam condenser has been theo-retically analyzed.
