Learning Outcomes & today’s Agenda
• Optimize lifecycle value by carefully contemplating the cooling section of a Steam Rankine power
generation cycle.
• Choose between Air Cooled Condensers and a Wet Surface Air Condenser (WSAC) by comparing the
cost of water versus the value of incremental power generated with a WSAC.
AGENDA
• Introduction to Veolia
• ACC Vs. WSAC :
• Fundamental thermodynamics
• Performance
Economics
• Project Development

Power (ACC vs. WSAC) tracks Bulb temperature (dry vs. wet) difference

WSAC: more power, but needs make-up water to vaporize away heat

Economics: simplified assumptions: sensitivities
INPUT UNIT VALUE COMMENT OUTPUT UNIT VALUECost of water $/Kgal $3 assumed Value of power $/yr $703,230
Value of Power $/MWh $55 assumed less Cost of water $/yr $286,382
Operational gain / loss $/yr $416,848
System availability % 95% assumed Make-up water MMGpy 95.5Incremental electricity MWh/yr 12,786

Economics: Operational net zero: value of power cancels cost of water
ACC operationally profitable above the line
WSAC operationally profitable below the line

Project development: common sense and diligence
1. Set objectives & gather data
2. Conceptualize alternate configurations: technical & economic appraisal
3. Project development
Technical: Configuration, engineering, procurement, construction
Legal: Structure of contracting entities (LLC, S or C Corp etc…)
Commercial: Contracts for fuel, power, O&M, grants & incentives
Environmental: Permits
Financial: Financial models, equity & debt
Risks & Mitigants: Project Execution Plan (PEP)
We optimize utility services from “plain” O&M to full spectrum Design-Build-Own-Operate & Maintain.
We provide services spanning concept development (FEL1) to post-project (FEL5) Operations & Maintenance.
