Selecting Sites for Coal-Fired Power Plants
Journal of the Energy Division, 1982Methods that have been used to select sites for coal-fired power plants are reviewed. A specific site selection procedure is presented that has been successfully applied in a number of cases. This procedure addresses the challenging features of site selection, including multiple evaluation concerns, significant uncertainties, multiple interest groups ...

Thermoeconomic diagnosis of a coal fired power plant
Energy Conversion and Management, 2007This paper presents a progressive separation procedure of the induced effects for power plant system diagnosis based on structural theory and symbolic thermoeconomics. The malfunction/dysfunction analysis and the fuel impact analysis of the structural theory as well as an improved induced malfunction evaluation method, which is composed of a ...

Coal-Fired Power Plants: Imprudent Investments?
Science, 2007Granger Morgan's Editorial “Don't grandfather coal plants” (17 Nov. 2006, p. [1049][1]) wisely suggests not “grandfathering” (i.e., not exempting from regulations) carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants. This is not just a matter of good policy, but it is also sensible in light of a widespread and long-standing principle of utility law. In most

Mercury Control for Coal-fired Power Plants
2007Mercury is a toxic, persistent pollutant that accumulates in the food chain, especially in fish, and causes major environmental health concerns. There are many sources of natural and anthropogenic emissions, but combustion of coal is known to be the major anthropogenic source of mercury (Hg) emissions in the U.S. and worldwide.

Performance Testing of Coal Fired Power Plants
ASME 2007 Power Conference, 2007With the renewed interest in the construction of coal-fired power plants in the United States, there has also been an increased interest in the methodology used to calculate/determine the overall performance of a coal fired power plant. This methodology is detailed in the ASME PTC 46 (1996) Code, which provides an excellent framework for determining ...

Tribology in coal-fired power plants
2016A series of alumina ceramics and silicon carbide (SiC) particulate composites were evaluated in terms of their erosive and abrasive wear behaviour under different conditions, with the aim of reducing wear damage in power plants. The alumina ceramics tested ranged in composition from 90% alumina to 97% alumina content. A nitride fired and an oxide fired
