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.
