Advanced Coal-Fired Power Plants

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Radionuclide emissions from a coal-fired power plant

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2013
Current study concerns measurement of radioactivity levels in areas surrounding a 2420 MW thermal power plant fueled predominantly by bituminous coal. The concentrations of (226)Ra, (232)Th and (40)K in onsite bottom-ash were found to be 139 Bq/kg, 108 Bq/kg and 291 Bq/kg, respectively, the levels for these radiolnuclides in soil decreasing with ...

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.

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.

Coal-fired power plants and industrial development

open access: yes
Past periods of industrial development have gone hand in hand with the burning of coal, but there is little evidence on the effects of coal infrastructure on manufacturing growth in today's industrializing economies. We quantify the direct and indirect effects of coal-fired power plant commissioning on local incumbent manufacturing firms in Indonesia ...

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.

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 ...
