Dynamic Performance of Fossil-Fueled Power Plants
IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1982Dynamic simulation is a valuable tool for optimizing the design and operation of steam electric power plants, especially those that change load or shut down frequently. However, its use has been limited because it has required experienced modeling specialists.

The Rational Efficiency of Fossil-Fuel Power Plants
Advanced Energy Systems, 1998Abstract The definition of open cycle rational efficiency is unequivocally based on the ratio of the actual shaft work output from a power plant to the maximum work that could be obtained in a reversible process between prescribed inlet and outlet states.

Life-extending control of fossil fuel power plants
Automatica, 1997The objective of life-extending control is to achieve a trade-off between structural durability and dynamic performance. This paper focuses on structural durability of the main steam header under load following to illustrate how the life-extending control of fossil fuel power plants can be achieved via feedforward/feedback.

Carbon Capture by Fossil Fuel Power Plants: An Economic Analysis
Management Science, 2009For fossil fuel power plants to be built in the future, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies offer the potential for significant reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. We examine the break-even value for CCS adoptions, that is, the critical value in the charge for CO2 emissions that would justify investment in CCS capabilities.

Outdoor noise of fossil-fuel power plants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1977Outdoor noise of several fossil-fuel power plants was measured for varying purposes. Typical continuous noises were generated by water circulation pumps, forced-draft fans and induced-draft fans, emergency diesel engine generators, stacker-reclaimers, SO2 systems, and gas-turbine peaking units.

Overall control of fossil-fuel power plants
2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.01CH37194), 2002Under the trend toward market deregulation, effective plant-wide automation systems for operation and control of power units are of paramount importance for the survival and profitable operation of any electric utility. This paper identifies the overall unit control scheme as the core of any integral automation system for fossil-fuel power units and ...

Development of a hybrid simulator of a fossil fuel steam power plant
2003 European Control Conference (ECC), 2003Considering the extensive applications and also importance of simulators with flexible abilities such as link speed, reliable topology and accessible for all necessary data and tests, this paper addresses a method which have these advantages including a structure which can be updated for several behaviors of processes. Here we present an advanced power

Vibration diagnoses in fossil fuel power plants
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1981Vibration problems in fossil fuel electric generating plants rated from 12.5 to 850 MW were diagnosed by existing methodologies involving state-of-the-art techniques over the past five years. The vibration diagnoses covered the areas of excessive vibration of rotating machinery, dynamic response of machine foundation, shaft misalignment vibration ...

Radioactivity in the Atmospheric Effluents of Power Plants That Use Fossil Fuels
Science, 1964Analysis of the fly ash produced by combustion of pulverized Appalachian coal has shown that a 1000-megawatt coal-burning power plant will discharge into the atmosphere from about 28 millicuries to nearly 1 curie per year of radium-226 and radium-228.

Fossil-fueled power plants as a source of atmospheric carbon monoxide
Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2002Elevated carbon monoxide (CO) mixing ratios in excess of those derived from emissions inventories have been observed in plumes from one gas- and coal-fired power plant and three of four lignite coal-fired electric utility power plants observed in east and central Texas. Observations of elevated CO on days characterized by differing wind directions show
