The document discusses a hybrid approach for cooling towers used in power plants. It explains how water flows from the cooling tower to the surface condenser. It lists parameters like circulation flow, inlet/outlet water temperatures, and cooling tower air fans that are monitored. Currently, water data is collected manually each hour but not used for assessment. A new concept would hook all this data into a platform to automatically assess the cooling tower's coefficient of performance, effectiveness, and system energy consumption, enabling energy optimization, circuit improvements, and suggestions for condenser cleaning.
