Book excerpt: Due to enhanced concern about water supplies and water use priorities, dry cooling systems for thermal power plants are receiving increased consideration, even though electric power from dry-cooled power plants currently costs 10 to 15 percent more than power from wet-cooled plants. A two-year study which analyzed the performance of existing dry-cooled systems and which developed economic and performance models for cost optimization of dry-cooled systems is reported. First, a design optimization code was used to compare the cost of a number of advanced all-dry systems. Then, 5 different dry/wet systems were carried through conceptual design and cost estimating. The results showed for either an all dry or a combination wet-and-dry cooling system, cost optimization can be achieved with an advanced system using ammonia as an intermediate heat exchange fluid (between the turbine and the dry tower), and that development of the ammonia concept should procede in order to provide performance and reliability data for the ammonia system.

Download or read book Dry Cooling for Power Plants written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Projecting the use of dry cooling at steam-electric plants within the next twenty years is fraught with more than the usual amount of uncertainty associated with long-range predictions. Eventually the industry's cooling requirements may exceed the availability of cooling water and require the direct rejection of heat to the atmosphere. However, projecting the physical availability of water and the growth of power generating capacity in various regions is not sufficient to determine the use of dry cooling within a twenty-year time frame. The use will be largely determined by legislative decisions on the use of limited inland water resources and the accessibility of seawater for cooling in coastal areas. These legislative decisions, in turn, will be influenced by the perceived impact of dry cooling upon the cost and conservation of energy. Research and development in progress is focused on reducing the total evaluated cost of dry cooling through reducing the capital cost and/or reducing the cost of providing replacement energy and generating capability. The incentives, problems and research/development activities are reviewed to provide an overview of potential improvements in dry cooling and the impact they may have on future power plant construction.
Download or read book Advances in Concentrating Solar Thermal Research and Technology written by Manuel Blanco and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of research and development, concentrating solar thermal (CST) power plants (also known as concentrating solar power (CSP) and as Solar Thermal Electricity or STE systems) are now starting to be widely commercialized. Indeed, the IEA predicts that by 2050, with sufficient support over ten percent of global electricity could be produced by concentrating solar thermal power plants. However, CSP plants are just but one of the many possible applications of CST systems. Advances in Concentrating Solar Thermal Research and Technology provides detailed information on the latest advances in CST systems research and technology. It promotes a deep understanding of the challenges the different CST technologies are confronted with, of the research that is taking place worldwide to address those challenges, and of the impact that the innovation that this research is fostering could have on the emergence of new CST components and concepts. It is anticipated that these developments will substantially increase the cost-competiveness of commercial CST solutions and reshape the technological landscape of both CST technologies and the CST industry. After an introductory chapter, the next three parts of the book focus on key CST plant components, from mirrors and receivers to thermal storage. The final two parts of the book address operation and control and innovative CST system concepts. - Contains authoritative reviews of CST research taking place around the world - Discusses the impact this research is fostering on the emergence of new CST components and concepts that will substantially increase the cost-competitiveness of CST power - Covers both major CST plant components and system-wide issues

Book excerpt: Ron DiPippo, Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, is a world-regarded geothermal expert. This single resource covers all aspects of the utilization of geothermal energy for power generation from fundamental scientific and engineering principles. The thermodynamic basis for the design of geothermal power plants is at the heart of the book and readers are clearly guided on the process of designing and analysing the key types of geothermal energy conversion systems. Its practical emphasis is enhanced by the use of case studies from real plants that increase the reader's understanding of geothermal energy conversion and provide a unique compilation of hard-to-obtain data and experience. An important new chapter covers Environmental Impact and Abatement Technologies, including gaseous and solid emissions; water, noise and thermal pollutions; land usage; disturbance of natural hydrothermal manifestations, habitats and vegetation; minimisation of CO2 emissions and environmental impact assessment.The book is illustrated with over 240 photographs and drawings.
