Development of Wet-Bulb-Temperatures in Germany with special regard to conventional thermal Power Plants using Wet Cooling Towers

Wet-bulb-temperature (WBT) defines the cooling distance of cooling water in wet cooling towers (or wet honeycomb radiators) at water-cooled power plants. Thus, the development of WBT in the 21st century under different scenarios of future climate change is highly relevant for the electricity product...
