Abstract
In this study, the influence of the cooling water temperature on the thermal efficiency of a conceptual pressurized-water reactor nuclear- power plant is studied. The change in the cooling water temperature can be experienced due to the seasonal changes in climatic conditions at plant site. The article presents the results of technical and economic parameters study of nuclear power unit’s operation under increased vacuum value. Investigated seasonal variations of cooling water temperature, cooling water temperature influence on the vacuum temperature in the turbine condenser, and changing the basic technical and economic performance of nuclear power station. The mathematical model of calculation the nuclear power plant operation for a 1000 MW power unit was developed.
