14 Abstract. Thermoelectric power plants require condenser cooling, historically using open-loop (or once-through) cooling systems. These open-loop cooling systems withdraw large volumes of water from a river or other water source, use it once in a heat exchanger, and return the water to the source, albeit at a higher temperature. The elevated temperature return flow contributes to a certain amount of induced evaporation, termed water consumption. Unlike the case of wet cooling towers where the evaporation occurs on-site, the induced evaporation from once-through cooling occurs downstream and is typically unmeasured; thus, most power generation facilities do not account for water consumption associated with open-loop cooling. Despite these limitations, various approaches exist to estimate water consumption from open-loop cooling. These estimations use an energy balance approach to account for evaporation, conduction, convection, and radiation in the overall system heat transfer. This analysis presents a critical review of different water consumption estimation methods, illustrating both strengths and weaknesses in applying these methods in the context of different power plants. Results suggest that tailored methods and locationspecific assumptions might better estimate water consumption from open-loop cooled power plants. slide 14
