Plant Infrastructure

← Previous | Next →

The Plant Infrastructure parameter screen is shown for both PC and NGCC plants. The following parameters specify the water required for plant infrastructure:

•Water Withdrawal Factor: This parameter measures the water withdrawal intensity for manufacturing of many components (e.g., coal and sorbent handling systems, and combustion turbines) and plant construction in gallons of water per megawatt hour of electricity generation.

•Water Consumption Factor: This parameter measures the water consumption intensity for manufacturing of many components (e.g., coal and sorbent handling systems, and combustion turbines) and plant construction in gallons of water per megawatt hour of electricity generation.
