Cooling water use in thermoelectric power generation and its associated challenges for addressing water-energy nexus

Journal Article Pan, Shu -Yuan ; Snyder, Seth W. ; Packman, Aaron I. ; ... April 2018 - Water-Energy Nexus

Thermoelectric power plants traditionally have required huge volumes of water to condense steam from the turbine exhaust. The complex interdependency between water and energy poses new challenges for policy makers to achieve a safe, secure and sustainable supply of energy and water in the future. Cooling systems are the most water-intensive part of the thermoelectric generation process, presenting significant opportunities to reduce the withdrawal and consumptive use of fresh water. Reuse of impaired water for cooling system can reduce freshwater withdrawal and decrease water contamination and withdrawal-related impacts on aquatic life and the environment. Here we focus on challenges andmore »« less

Water demands for electricity generation in the U.S.: Modeling different scenarios for the water–energy nexus

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Liu, Lu ; Hejazi, Mohamad I. ; Patel, Pralit L. ; ... May 2015 - Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 94:318-334

Water withdrawal for electricity generation in the United States accounts for approximately half the total freshwater withdrawal. With steadily growing electricity demands, a changing climate, and limited water supplies in many water-scarce states, meeting future energy and water demands poses a significant socio-economic challenge. Employing an integrated modeling approach that can capture the energy-water interactions at regional and national scales is essential to improve our understanding of the key drivers that govern those interactions and the role of national policies. In this study, the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM), a technologically-detailed integrated model of the economy, energy, agriculture and landmore »« less

U.S. Department of Energy's Role in the Energy-Water Nexus

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Gerald Sehlke ; Paul Wichlacz December 2009 - Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

The Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 (DOE 1977) combined the Federal Energy Administration, the Energy Research and Development Administration, the Federal Power Commission, the nuclear weapons program, and portions of energy-related programs from other Federal agencies into a single agency, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). DOE’s goal is to promote the development and use of reliable, clean, and affordable energy in an environmentally responsible manner, and to maintain a comprehensive, national, strategic energy plan.
