Thermoelectric power plants require significant quantities of water, primarily for the purpose of cooling. Water also is becoming critically important for low-carbon power generation. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from pulverized coal (PC) power plants, post-combustion carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems are receiving considerable attention. However, current CO2 capture systems require a significant amount of cooling. This paper evaluates and quantifies the plant-level performance and cost of different cooling technologies for PC power plants with and without CO2 capture. Included are recirculating systems with wet cooling towers and air-cooled condensers (ACCs) for dry cooling. We examine a range of key factors affecting cooling system performance, cost and plant water use, including the plant steam cycle design, coal type, carbon capture system design, and local ambient conditions. Options for reducing power plant water consumption also are presented. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
