Abstract
Two approaches are presented for incorporating alternative cooling techologies into mathematical programming models for use in planning energy and water-resources systems. The first approach allows a constant water requirement per unit power output for each cooling alternative; simple linear relationships result, and they can easily be incorporated into any linear allocation-location model. This model is demonstrated for Illinois. The second approach allows the water requirement to vary for each of the different cooling alternatives. A nonlinear model is produced, and a practical separable-programming method is suggested for solving it. This method is demonstrated for a 14-county region in Illinois.
