Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a condensation system and method for an electric power plant. The present disclosure comprises a steam turbine, a compressor, and a condenser. The steam turbine comprises a steam turbine outlet, the steam turbine outlet being used for discharging low-pressure hot steam; the compressor comprises a first compressor inlet and a compressor outlet; the condenser comprises a condenser steam inlet, a condenser medium inlet, a condensate outlet, and a condenser air outlet; the hot steam inlet is connected to the steam turbine outlet; the compressor outlet is connected to a condenser medium inlet; the condenser medium inlet is used for inputting liquid carbon dioxide; and the condenser air outlet is connected to the first compressor inlet. In the present disclosure, carbon dioxide is used as a cooling medium, fundamentally solving the problems such as large usage amount of circulation water in an electric power plant, complex anti-corrosion and anti-scaling processes, high waste water treatment cost, and environmental pollution, and achieving effects of consumption reduction, energy conservation, and zero emission of circulation waste water.
