Waste heat
scroll
The efficiency of a thermal power plant is the ratio
of electricity generated to the heat generated. Due to physical laws,
the efficiency depends on the temperature of the process medium and
amounts to about 34% for a light water reactor and 40% for a modern
coal-fired power plant. The majority of the generated heat in these
thermal power plants is discharged to the environment via the condenser
cooling water.
