Epidemiological monitoring in the vicinity of a coal-fired power plant

Science of The Total Environment, 1984
An epidemiological monitoring program has been designed and put into operation in response to a health monitoring requirement of a permit to build a coal-fired power plant. It will consist of four 350 megawatt units and is being built on the Mediterranean coast about halfway between Tel-Aviv and Haifa; the first unit became operational in 1981.

Robustified optimal control of a coal-fired power plant

Proceedings of the 2010 American Control Conference, 2010
This paper proposes the design of an advanced control technique to improve the control performances of industrial plants. Indeed, classical industrial solutions are typically based on SISO loops including classical PID controllers. This control strategy can clearly be improved.

The Carbon Intensity Evaluation of Coal-fired Power Plants

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Informatics, Environment, Energy and Applications, 2018
The global carbon dioxide emissions gradually increase in the last few decades, among which the coal-fired power plants play magnificent role. Hence the carbon balance theory is in utilization to establish the carbon emission model for combustion and desulfurization processes.

Advanced Coal-Fired Power Plants

Journal of Energy Resources Technology, 2000
The U.S. Department of Energy is partnering with industry to develop advanced coal-fired electric power plants that are substantially cleaner, more efficient, and less costly than current plants. Low-emission boiler systems (LEBS) and high-performance power systems (HIPPS) are based, respectively, on the direct firing of pulverized coal and the ...

Selecting Sites for Coal-Fired Power Plants

Journal of the Energy Division, 1982
Methods 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, 2007
This 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, 2007
Granger 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

The radiation hazard of coal-fired power plants

Journal of Chemical Education, 1981
The author explores different aspects of the problem of fossil fuel supplies. He points to the possibility that the burning of coal produces a concentration of particulate matter that could create ...

Coal Fired Power Plant Fireside Problems

CORROSION 1984, 1984
This paper describes the recent experience with fireside problems in coal fired subcritical boilers at Ontario Hydro*, and is concerned with boiler tube wastage. Problems with other components such as burners, air pre-heaters and "back-end" ductwork are not discussed.
