ENERGY AUDIT IN CW, CT & CONDENSER SYSTEM
inTHERMAL POWER STATIONS
1.0 BACKGROUND
Cooling Water Circuit and System performance, holds the key in maintaining optimum vacuum in a thermal or a GT combined cycle plant. In current times, there is an increasing demand on power plant professionals, to address concurrently, complex tasks like ; Cooling water Consumption optimization, Achieving vacuum conditions and Optimizing power consumption in CW pumps and CT fans, despite plant side variations, like frequency, cooling water quality, availability, load variations, O & M demands, etc. While it is a challenge, experiences show that with the level of infrastructure and information available at most sites, it should be possible to conduct a reasonably detailed and functional energy audit, deploying in-house resources, to bring out improvement options.
2.0 AUDIT FOCUS
CW / CT system and condenser vacuum being focal points for energy audit study, the various improvement issues addressed in the CW audit include ;
2.1 Condenser Related
Cleanliness of tube surfaces

seasonal variations with regard to water load, CT fan blade angle, etc.
Maintenance of fills Quality of Cooling Water and COC
improvement CT fan blade material such as FRP/GRP, etc.
2.4 Overall Optimization related such as ;
Optimize CW pump operations with respect to thermal load
Optimizing L/G ratios during various seasons
Optimize CW pump efficiency through need based maintenance, retrofit, replacement options.
Optimize condenser operations through O & M
3.0 Based on experiences at various plants
The following steps are envisaged as illustrative help tools for the CW / CT audit teams in conduct of energy audit in thermal power plants and GT based combined cycle plants.
3.1 Scope of Audit
The scope of audit pertains to Energy Audit of Cooling Water System including Cooling Towers & Condenser is made into systems as given below : CW System : Audit for water consumption Cooling Tower : Audit for CT effectiveness Condenser : Audit for condenser heat load, CW flow &
Vacuum The energy audit on above system will be carried out to determine main features such as :
1. Consumption of circulating water flow 2. Performance of CW pumps w.r.t. CW flow3. CT effectiveness and L/G ratio4. Performance of condenser w.r.t. heat load and vacuum and CW
pressure drop across condenser.5. Comparison of measured performance with reference to
designed / rated values.6. Recommendations based on the performance of the above
system.
3.2 Methodology for Energy Audit
1. Discussion with operation, Electrical Maintenance, Mechanical Maintenance, C&I and Chemistry
2. Selection of equipments and instruments for power measurement for CW pumps & CT fans
3. Data collection based on power measurement, DBT / WBT measurement for cooling performance, UCB data collection for heat load calculation
4. Analysis of data
5. Calculation of performance to determine key indicators for assessing the performance of various systems.

CONCLUSIONS
The audit conclusions are site specific and situation specific. The menu of recommendations substantiated adequately are most likely to include ; Timely descaling of condensers
Ensuring adequacy of CW flow through condensers
Improving operational energy efficiency of CW pumps by maintenance or retrofit or replacement options
Tuning of CT operations for achieving best CT range, L/G ratio, approach for given loading, ambient conditions.
Water quality improvements and design COC improvements.
Debottlenecking of any O & M constraints
Fill replacement/replenishment in cooling towers
Improvements in instrumentation and MIS for enabling continuous efforts by O & M and O & E teams.
