The efficiencies of nuclear power plants are rather poor having the ratio %30 by using the conventional energy/exergy tools. According to that information, large amount of energy is wasted during condensation and thrown out to the environment. Thermoelectric generator (TEG) system has a potential to be used as a heat exchanging technology to produce power with a relatively low efficiency (about 5%) and it can transform the temperature difference into electricity and generate clean electrical energy. In the present study, we offer a novel system to recover the waste heat from a VVER-1000 nuclear power plant. The heat transfer of the TEG is analyzed numerically with respect to the various temperature ranges and constant mass flow rate of the exhaust steam entering the system. In the analyses, different hot temperature ranges (35ºC, 45ºC and 55ºC) and a constant cold temperature (i.e. 18ºC) are used for a HZ-20 thermoelectric module and it has been proven that the designed TEG can produce the maximum output power of 76,956 MW for a temperature difference ∆T=37 and the conversion efficiency of 3,854% sits. The TEG is designed for the condenser of a 1000 MW nuclear power plant. It's shown that about 2,0% increasing in the power plant efficiency is expected by using the selected thermoelectric generator in the condensation cycle.Article History: Received: July 15th 2017; Received:  October 17th 2017; Accepted: February 13rd 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Terzi, R. and Kurt, E.

Processing And Storage

The production of clean water in the US as well as other countries is a critical need along with non-greenhouse gas electrical power generation. Low-temperature waste heat from nuclear power plants can be used to produce the large quantities of clean water for reactor cooling (∼25,000 acre-ft/yr), potable water for culinary and agricultural use and many other applications. Cogeneration of nuclear electrical power and clean water is reviewed and discussed in this paper. These cogeneration systems can utilize grey and/or brackish water that can markedly extend potential sites for future nuclear plants in areas where only poor water sources are available. A steam adsorption system for on-line production of clean water and refrigeration using nuclear power plant waste heat is also proposed and discussed. This improved design for more energy-efficient use of the steam adsorption cooling has the potential to substantially reduce the intense electrical power consumption for food processing and storage, ice- and snow-making and air-conditioning.

Abstract This work is devoted to the problem of utilization of waste heat from condensers of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants. The waste heat of the condensers of TPPs and NPPs, together with the circulating water, enters the environment, causing its thermal pollution. The use of this heat in an energy-biological complex, for example, in fisheries, increases their efficiency and solves an environmental problem. Compared to ordinary ponds, this energy complex has an almost year-round increase in biomass and accelerated maturation of producers. The article presents a developed methodology that makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of such a fishery. Calculations using this method were carried out for a fish farm raising sturgeons on the basis of the waste heat of a nuclear power plant with a VVER-1200 reactor and a K-1200-6.8/50 turbine
