This book focuses on engineering fundamentals of water use for
cooling needs of thermoelectric, or steam cycle, power plants,
along with environmental and economic contexts. Water has
historically been abundant and cheap; however, the ever-growing
human demands for fresh surface water and groundwater are
potentially putting ecosystems at risk. Water demands for energy
production and electric generation power plants are part of total
water demand.
This book contributes important information to aid a broader
discussion of integrated water and energy management by providing
background, references, and context for water and energy
stakeholders specifically on the topic of water for cooling thermal
power plants. This book serves as a reference and source of
information to power plant owner/operators, water resource
managers, energy and environmental regulators, and non-governmental
organizations.
From power plant owners wanting to know the tradeoffs in
environmental impact and economics of cooling towers to water
utilities that might want to deliver waste water for reuse for
power plant cooling, this book provides a wide array of regulatory
and technical discussion to meet the needs of a broad audience.
