    The document summarizes operating points for two hybrid cooling system designs (HYB-B and HYB-C) at five plant sites. Key parameters like annual plant output, turbine exhaust pressure, operating power requirements, and steam turbine output reduction due to cooling limitations vary between sites. Total reduction in plant output, the sum of operating power requirements and steam turbine output reduction, varies from 30-54% depending on the site and system design. The project team then calculated additional performance comparisons based on initial cooling system costs, annualized costs, water savings, percent of water use compared to all-wet cooling, cost of water saved, and normalized water use.

    • The annual plant output varies from 827,834 MWh/yr at Long Beach to 838,157 MWh/yr
    at Sacramento, a variation among the five sites of just over 1%.
    • The average turbine exhaust pressure varies from a minimum of 2.26 in Hga at
    Sacramento and Redding to a maximum of only 2.45 in Hga at Long Beach.
    • The total operating power requirements vary from 11,778 MWh/yr. at Long Beach to
    17,571 MWh/yr at Blythe, a difference of just under 50%.
    • The steam turbine output reduction due to cooling system limitation varies significantly
    from 22,865 MWh/yr at Redding to 34,157 MWh/yr at Long Beach, a difference of just
    under 50%.
    • The total reduction in plant output is the sum of the operating power requirements and
    the steam turbine output reduction. This varies from 35,444 MWh/yr at Sacramento to
    45,935 MWh/yr at Long Beach, a difference of 30%.

    • The annual plant output varies from 801,456 MWh/yr at Long Beach to 827,478 MWh/yr
    at Blythe, an overall variation of about 3%.
    • The average turbine exhaust pressure varies from a minimum of 2.46 in Hga at Blythe to
    a maximum of only 3.17 in Hga at Long Beach.
    • The total operating power requirements vary from 10,907 MWh/yr. at Sacramento to
    12,330 MWh/yr at Blythe, a difference of just over 12%.
    • The steam turbine output reduction due to cooling system limitation varies significantly
    from 34,555 MWh/yr at Blythe to 60,143 MWh/yr at Long Beach, a difference of almost
    75%.
    • The total reduction in plant output is the sum of the operating power requirements and
    the steam turbine output reduction. This varies from 46,885 MWh/yr at Blythe to 72,313
    MWh/yr at Long Beach, a difference of 54%.

    From the design and operating values listed, the project team calculated overall performance
    comparisons=. These include:
    • Initial installed cooling system cost.
    • Annualized cooling system cost.
    • Annual water savings, compared to all-wet cooling.
    • Percent of all-wet system water use required.
    • Cost of water saved.
    • Normalized water use.
