Abstract

A hybrid air-cooled condenser (ACC) concept has demonstrated to provide performance benefits over a conventional ACC. Additional to the thermal performance, the cost effectiveness should also be considered to determine the commercial viability, and therefore this study interrogates the techno-economic feasibility of a hybrid ACC at six locations with a ∼238 MW steam turbine representative of a typical CSP or NGCC plant. In this paper the hybrid ACC, is compared to a conventional ACC in terms of annual performance and annualized cost. The annualized cost of the hybrid ACC relative to the conventional ACC is expressed as a cost ratio φₐ, and consideration is given to a range of water and hybrid unit capital costs.
