Czech power utility CEZ has introduced new data-processing techniques to increase efficient operation at its Temelin NPP. By taking into account - factors such as air temperature, humidity and the temperature of cooling water, the optimal setting of the largest circulation pumps can be calculated. Power engineers compare these variables to find the optimal setting, which is then updated twice a day in line with the weather forecast. This cut the plant's electricity consumption by 5400 MWh in 2023 compared with 2022. The plant consumed 803,000 MWh of electricity, which represents about 5% of the electricity produced.
