Abstract

The cooling tower is one of the vital components in a Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) system, functioning to cool the condensate water from the condenser before it is reused. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a counter flow mechanical induced draft cooling tower at PLTP Unit 4, PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (Tbk), Ulubelu Area. The data were obtained from field measurements conducted over seven days at fourtime intervals each day. The parameters analyzed include range, approach, and effectiveness, calculated using inlet water temperature, outlet water temperature, and wet bulb temperature. The results show an average effectiveness value of 70.05%, with variations influenced by changes in range and approach values. This effectiveness is close to the design standards stated in the manufacturer’s specifications, indicating that the cooling tower operates with good performance. This analysis provides an overview of the actual equipment condition and can serve as a reference for maintenance and performance optimization in the future.

Abstract

Abstract. Geothermal power plants rely heavily on the efficiency of their cooling systems to optimize overall energy conversion. This study investigates the performance of the primary cooling systems, namely direct contact condensers and mechanically induced flow cooling towers in Unit 3 of PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk, Ulubelu Area, Lampung. Performance metrics are assessed using parameters such as range, approach, and effectiveness for the cooling tower, and thermal efficiency calculations for the condenser and steam turbine. Daily operational data were collected and analyzed. The results show that fluctuations in cooling tower effectiveness significantly affect condenser vacuum and turbine efficiency. The average actual cooling tower effectiveness is 70.06%, lower than the design effectiveness of 78%. The condenser shows an average thermal efficiency of 93.80%, with effectiveness variations between 83.23% to 86.44%. The turbine efficiency based on design is 87.51%, while the actual efficiency drops to the range of 81.84% to 82.48%. This decrease indicates a performance degradation of approximately 0.94% per year. This finding underlines the important role of cooling system optimization in improving the performance of geothermal power plants.
