| Water | ||
| ============ | ||
|
|
||
| The water withdrawal and return flows from energy technologies are calculated in | ||
| MESSAGE following the approach described in Fricko et al., (2016) :cite:`fricko_2016`. | ||
| Each technology is prescribed a water withdrawal and consumption intensity (e.g., m3 per kWh) | ||
| that translates technology outputs optimized in MESSAGE into water requirements and return | ||
| flows. | ||

||
| Simplified power plant energy balance. | ||
|
|
||
| For power plant cooling technologies, the amount of water required and energy dissipated | ||
| to water bodies as heat is linked to the parameterized power plant fuel conversion efficiency (heat | ||
| rate). Looking at a simple thermal energy balance at the power plant (:numref:`fig-ppl_energy_balance`), total combustion | ||
| energy (:math:`E_{comb}`) is conveterted into electricity (:math:`E_{elec}`), emissions (:math:`E_{emis}`) | ||
| and additional thermal energy that must be absorbed by the cooling system (:math:`E_{cool}`): | ||
|
|
||
| :math:`E_{comb} = E_{elec} + E_{emis} + E_{cool}` | ||
|
|
||
| Converting to per unit electricity, we can estimate the cooling required per unit of electricity generation | ||
| (:math:`\phi_{cool}`) based on average heat-rate (:math:`\phi_{comb}`) and heat lost to emissions | ||
| (:math:`\phi_{emis}`), and this data is identified from the literature :cite:`fricko_2016`. | ||
|
|
||
| :math:`\phi_{cool} = \phi_{comb} - \phi_{emis} - 1` | ||
|
|
||
| With time-varying heat-rates (i.e., :math:`t =0,1,2,...`) and a constant share of energy to emissions and electricity: | ||
|
|
||
| :math:`\phi_{cool}[t] = \phi_{comb}[t] \cdot \left( \, 1 - \dfrac{\phi_{emis}}{\phi_{comb}[0]} \, \right) - 1` | ||
|
|
||
| Increased fuel efficiency (lower heat-rate) reduces the cooling requirement per unit of electricity generated. | ||
| This enables heat rate improvements for power plants represented in MESSAGE to be translated into | ||
| improvements in water intensity. Water withdrawal and consumption intensities for power plant | ||
| cooling technologies are calibrated to the range | ||
| reported in Meldrum et al., (2013) :cite:`meldrum_2013`. Additional parasitic electricity demands from recirculating | ||
| and dry cooling technologies are accounted for explicitly in the electricity balance calculation. All | ||
| other technologies follow the data reported in Fricko et al. | ||
| (2016) :cite:`fricko_2016`. | ||
|
|
||
| A key feature of the implementation is the representation of power plant cooling | ||
| technology options for individual power plant types (:numref:`fig-cooling_implement1`). | ||
| Each power plant type that requires cooling in MESSAGE | ||
| is connected to a corresponding cooling technology option (once-through, recirculating or | ||
| air cooling), with the investment into and operation of the cooling technologies included in the | ||
| optimization decision variables :cite:`parkinson_2019`. This enables MESSAGE to choose the type of cooling technology | ||
| for each power plant type and track how the operation of the cooling technologies impact water | ||
| withdrawals, return flows, thermal pollution and parasitic electricity use. | ||

| Implementation of cooling technologies in the MESSAGE IAM. | ||
|
|
||
| Costs and efficiency for | ||
| cooling technologies are estimated following previous technology assessments :cite:`zhai_2010,zhang_2014,loew_2016`. | ||
| The initial distribution of cooling technologies in each region | ||
| and for each technology is estimated with the dataset described in Raptis and Pfister (2016) :cite:`Raptis_2016_powerplant_data`. | ||
| The shares estimated at the river basin-scale are depcited in :numref:`fig-cooling_implement2` . | ||

Oxford comma? @volker-krey what's the preferred style?

I have no opinion on this and even had to look up what the 'Oxford comma' is. Let's take a vote in tomorrow's meeting.
