Abstract

In this work, the concept ‘city water heating’ is introduced. It consists in bringing a significant amount of residual thermal energy (waste heat) from a power plant to a city by means of heating the potable water supplied to this city. For this purpose (i) a great amount of the city water has to be supplied through a single aqueduct, (ii) the aqueduct has to pass near the power station, and (iii) the water supplied to the city has to be colder than the cooling circuit water in the power plant.
