Energy efficiency measures for air conditioning systems in Three Gorges Hydropower Plant

The scale and energy consumption of air conditioning systems in Three Gorges Hydropower Plant is extremely huge, which makes it highly significant to study the energy efficiency reforming scheme of the system. Presents the general situation of the air conditioning systems. Based on the site testing data, analyses its energy saving potential and essential stages, and formulates the detailed energy saving reform programs. A comprehensive benefit assessment of the program shows that the payback period of investment of the scheme in which the old units are replaced with new ones is 3.22 years, proving to be adoptable.
