Abstract:
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 indirectly fired combined cycle. LEBS uses a low-NOx slagging combustion system that has been shown in pilot-scale tests to emit less than 86 g/GJ (0.2 lb/106 Btu) of NOx. Additional NOx removal is provided by a moving bed copper oxide flue gas cleanup system, which also removes 97–99 percent of sulfur oxides. Stack levels of NOx can be reduced to below 9 g/GJ (0.02 lb/106 Btu). Construction of an 80 MWe LEBS proof-of-concept plant is scheduled to begin in the spring of 1999. Engineering development of two different HIPPS configurations is continuing. Recent tests of a radiant air heater, a key component of HIPPS, have indicated the soundness of the design for air temperatures to 1150°C. LEBS and HIPPS applications include both new power plants and repowering/upgrading existing plants.

Abstract:
India's coal-fired generating capacity doubled between 1990 and 2010 and currently accounts for 70 percent of electricity produced. Despite this, thermal efficiency at state-owned coal-fired power plants in India is significantly lower than at plants in the United States. When matched on age and capacity, heat input per kWh was 8 percent higher at Indian plants between 1997 and 2009. This can only partly be explained by the lower heat content of Indian coal. Electricity sector restructuring in the United States improved thermal efficiency at investor-owned plants; however, electricity sector restructuring in India has yet to improve thermal efficiency at state-owned coal-fired power plants.

Abstract:
Carbon emissions trading scheme (CETS) is widely regarded as a cost-effective marketbased regulation for carbon abatement. In the context of CETS, this study develops an evolutionary game model that incorporates two representative coal-fired power plants and a government. Our model captures the interplay of emission reduction strategies between coal-fired power plants and endogenously incorporates government regulatory decisions. We analyze the strategic decisions of coal-fired power plants by discussing the dynamics and equilibrium of the game. Our findings demonstrate that in the absence of government implementation of CETS, coal-fired power plants refrain from investing in carbon abatement. However, with the enforcement of CETS, along with sufficient penalties for excessive carbon emissions, coal-fired power plants become inclined to invest in emission reduction. Furthermore, the willingness of coal-fired power plants to invest in carbon abatement exhibits a negative relationship with both the quota and the cost of emission reduction.

Abstract:
Over one-third of energy is generated from coal consumption in Taiwan. In order to estimate the health impact assessment attributable to PM2.5 concentrations emitted from coal consumption in Taiwan. We applied a Gaussian trajectory transfer-coefficient model to obtain county-wide PM2.5 exposures from coal consumption, which includes coal-fired power plants and combined heat and power plants. Next, we calculated the mortality burden attributable to PM2.5 emitted by coal consumption using the comparative risk assessment framework developed by the Global Burden of Disease study. Based on county-level data, the average PM2.5 emissions from coal-fired plants in Taiwan was estimated at 2.03 ± 1.29 (range: 0.32–5.64) μg/m3. With PM2.5 increments greater than 0.1 μg/m3, there were as many as 16 counties and 66 air quality monitoring stations affected by coal-fired plants and 6 counties and 18 monitoring stations affected by combined heat and power plants. The maximum distances affected by coal-fired and combined heat and power plants were 272 km and 157 km, respectively. Our findings show that more counties were affected by coal-fired plants than by combined heat and power plants with significant increments of PM2.5 emissions. We estimated that 359.6 (95% CI: 334.8–384.9) annual adult deaths and 124.4 (95% CI: 116.4–132.3) annual premature deaths were attributable to PM2.5 emitted by coal-fired plants in Taiwan. Even in six counties without power plants, there were 75.8 (95% CI: 60.1–91.5) deaths and 25.8 (95%CI: 20.7–30.9) premature deaths annually attributable to PM2.5 emitted from neighboring coal-fired plants. This study presents a precise and effective integrated approach for assessing air pollution and the health impacts of coal-fired and combined heat and power plants.

Abstract:
According to the analysis of coal-fired power plants, the article built the evaluation index system of coal-fired power plants energy conservation and emission reduction. Based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), we determined the weight of each evaluation index. By using the calculation of rating scores in cleaner production, we set up a model of energy conservation and emission reduction for coal-fired power plants. On the basis of the results, the level of coal-fired power plants energy conservation and emission reduction was divided into five levels: excellent, good, medium, pass and fail. Taking a coal-power plant in Heilongjiang Province as an example, we drew a conclusion that the score of energy conservation and emission reduction in the coal-power plant was 89.52 which represents the good level. According to the evaluation result, we proposed corresponding suggestions. The results provide decision-makers with ideas and methods for energy conservation and emission reduction evaluation in the coal-fired power plant.

Abstract:
Abstract With the rapid development of renewable energy, the demand for frequency regulation and peak shaving of coal-fired power plants is increasing. As the utilization hours of coal-fired power plants are gradually reduced, the economy of coal-fired power plants is gradually reduced. In order to improve the economic benefits of thermal power plants, thermal power plants are changing from the income model dominated by power generation to the income model of “cogeneration of power generation and auxiliary power service”. Among them, the energy storage system of Lingwu power plant of Ningxia electric power company of Guoneng group belongs to the first large-scale thermal power plant large-capacity solar thermal energy storage (flywheel) project at home and abroad. While ensuring the functions of conventional power supply, heating and cogeneration, the system can also provide auxiliary power services, support the safe and stable operation of a large power grid, and improve the flexibility and economic benefits of traditional thermal power plants. With the application of new technologies in coal-fired power plants, improving the economy of coal-fired generating units and power auxiliary services will be the main direction of power generation groups. At the same time, it also puts forward new requirements for power grid operation.

A 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 SiC particulate composites were also tested for comparison. The impact angle, impact velocity, as well as particle size and type were varied for solid-partide erosion, whereas effects of the applied load, abrasive speed and type of abrasive were studied for abrasive wear. The target materials were also evaluated in terms of morphology and mechanical properties including hardness, flexural modulus and flexural strengths. The erosion rates of the tested alumina ceramics increase with an increase in the impact angle, reaching a maximum at 90°. The high purity 96% alumina dry-pressed body has the best erosion resistance at most impact angles, while the 92% alumina dry pressed body has the worst erosion resistance. The erosion rates also increased with an increase in particle impact velocity, resulting in a velocity exponent (n) value of 1.5. A decrease in the erosion rate was observed for both an increase in particle size range and a decrease in erodent partide hardness. At all angles of impact, solid partide erosion of the target materials is dominated by intergranular fracture and surfaces are typically characterized by erosion pits. The five alumina target materials also show a marked increase in erosion rates when the test temperature is increased from ambient to 150°C. The abrasive wear rates for the materials increased with both applied load and abrasive speed, owing to increased tribological stresses at the contacting asperities. There is also a general trend of increasing abrasion resistance with increasing alumina content. Severe wear, characterized by fracture and grain pullout, is the dominant mechanism of material removal during abrasive wear. This was accompanied by the formation of grooves on the wear surfaces. Although this study was successful in terms of material selection for wear damage reduction in power plants, it also highlighted significant factors and modifications that might need to be considered in future studies.

Abstract:

Coal is the most common fossil resource for power production worldwide and generates 40% of the worlds total electricity production. Even though coal is considered a pollutive resource, the great amounts and the increasing power demand leads to extensive use even in new developed power plants. To cover the world's future energy demand and at the same time limit our effect on global warming, coal fired power plants with CO2 capture is probably a necessity. An Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Power Plant is a utilization of coal which gives incentives for CO2 capture. Coal is partially combusted in a reaction with steam and pure oxygen. The oxygen is produced in an air separation process and the steam is generated in the Power Island. Out of the gasifier comes a mixture of mainly H2 and CO. In a shift reactor the CO and additional steam are converted to CO2 and more H2. Carbon dioxide is separated from the hydrogen in a physical absorption process and compressed for storage. Hydrogen diluted with nitrogen from the air separation process is used as fuel in a combined cycle similar to NGCC. A complete IGCC Power Plant is described in this report. The air separation unit is modeled as a Linde two column process. Ambient air is compressed and cooled to dew point before it is separated into oxygen and nitrogen in a cryogenic distillation process. Out of the island oxygen is at a purity level of 95.6% and the nitrogen has a purity of 99.6%. The production cost of oxygen is 0.238 kWh per kilogram of oxygen delivered at 25°C and 1.4bar. The oxygen is then compressed to a gasification pressure of 42bar. In the gasification unit the oxygen together with steam is used to gasify the coal. On molar basis the coal composition is 73.5% C, 22.8% H2, 3.1% O2, 0.3% N2 and 0.3% S. The gasification temperature is at 1571°C and out of the unit comes syngas consisting of 66.9% CO, 31.1% H2, 1.4% H2O, 0.3% N2, 0.2% H2S and 0.1% CO2. The syngas is cooled and fed to a water gas shift reactor. Here the carbon monoxide is reacted with steam forming carbon dioxide and additional hydrogen. The gas composition of the gas out of the shift reactor is on dry basis 58.2% H2, 39.0% CO2, 2.4% CO, 0.2% N2 and 0.1% H2S. Both the gasification process and shift reactor is exothermal and there is no need of external heating. This leads to an exothermal heat loss, but parts of this heat is recovered. The gasifier has a Cold Gas Efficiency (CGE) of 84.0%. With a partial pressure of CO2 at 15.7 bar the carbon dioxide is easily removed by physical absorption. After separation the solvent is regenerated by expansion and CO2 is pressurized to 110bar to be stored. This process is not modeled, but for the scrubbing part an energy consumption of 0.08kWh per kilogram CO2 removed is assumed. For the compression of CO2, it is calculated with an energy consumption of 0.11kWh per kilogram CO2 removed. Removal of H2S and other pollutive unwanted substances is also removed in the CO2 scrubber. Between the CO2 removal and the combustion chamber is the H2 rich fuel gas is diluted with nitrogen from the air separation unit. This is done to increase the mass flow through the turbine. The amount of nitrogen available is decided by the amount of oxygen produced to the gasification process. Almost all the nitrogen produced may be utilized as diluter except from a few percent used in the coal feeding procedure to the gasifier. The diluted fuel gas has a composition of 50.4% H2, 46.1% N2, 2.1% CO and 1.4% CO2. In the Power Island a combined cycle with a gas turbine able to handle large H2 amounts is used. The use of steam in the gasifier and shift reactor are integrated in the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in the steam cycle. The heat removed from the syngas cooler is also recovered in the HRSG. The overall efficiency of the IGCC plant modeled is 36.8%. This includes oxygen and nitrogen production and compression, production of high pressure steam used in the Gasification Island, coal feeding costs, CO2 removal and compression and pressure losses through the processes. Other losses are not implemented and will probably reduce the efficiency.

Abstract:
Meeting energy demand while mitigating catastrophic climate change is a serious challenge faced by governments around the globe. The role of coal in the energy mix is integral to this problem: coal is a relatively cheap, flexible and plentiful energy resource; however it is also one of the most polluting. CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants contribute to global warming. Development and deployment of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology is vital in order to reduce the environmental impact of burning coal. CCS involves capturing and purifying C02 from the emission source and then sequestering it safely and securely to avoid emission to the atmosphere. Oxyfuel combustion, in which the fuel is burnt in a mixture of pure oxygen and recycled flue gas instead of air, is a viable option for CCS from coal-fired power plants. The subject of this discourse is modelling and simulation of oxy-coal combustion. Accurate prediction of the operating characteristics of oxy-coal plants is a vital step towards deployment of the technology. This requires a fundamental understanding of the processes involved and how they might differ from conventional air-firing operation. The distribution of the furnace heat transfer determines the integration between the gas and the water/steam cycles. In order for existing boiler technology to be converted to oxyfuel operation, heat transfer in an oxy-coal furnace should be very similar to air-firing. A combination of fundamental modelling, fluid dynamics, and process simulation have been applied in order to study the impact of oxyfuel combustion on electricity generation. Effectively, nitrogen is replaced with CO2 in the combustion gases and this will affect the gas specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, diffusivity and absorptivity/emissivity and hence change the rate of convective and radiative heat transfer. The gas-side heat transfer processes are intrinsically linked to chemical reactions and turbulence, and these are accounted for using a CFD model of the furnace. The CFD-generated data are then linked to a full plant simulation in order to investigate the impact of oxyfuel combustion on plant operation. The heat transfer components in the full plant model are developed specifically for detailed prediction of heat transfer and account for changes in composition and mass flow of the flue gases. A range of inlet oxygen concentrations varying from 21-35 vol-% and recycle ratios varying from 80-65% are investigated and the combined simulations reveal a 'working range' of approximately 30-33% inlet oxygen and 72-68% recycle ratio where the distribution of heat transfer is sufficiently similar to allow the plant to operate within the given set- points for air-firing.

Abstract:
Fossil fuels has preserved their importance in gradually increasing production and consumption of both energy and electricity of the world. Asia, especially China and India, has arisen new actors of the sector. Energy and electricity consumption of Turkey has also increased in parallel with her economic development, but due to her limited resources, she has become more and more energy dependent in order to meet her growing demand. Although hard coal is only found around Zonguldak region, with its abundant and widely spread reserves, Turkey ranked world&rsquo
s third place in lignite production in 2008. Having low calorific value together with high ash and moisture content, most of lignites extracted is being consumed in thermic power plants located near those reserves. In the first two chapters of this study, energy in the world and Turkey will be considered seperately, then coal resources in Turkey will be analysed in the next coming chapter. Indirect and direct greenhouse emissions presented to the UNFCCC will be handled in the fifth chapter In the last chapter, first past and present performances of all indigenous coal fired power plants will be analysed, then after projecting their generation and fuel needs, they are evaluated considering with the reserves they are located. Finally, at the end of decomissioning of those power plants, remaining reserves will be re-evaluated and additional new units will be proposed accordingly.

Abstract:
Although the thermodynamic advantages of using solar energy to replace the bled off steam in the regeneration system of Rankine cycle coal fired power stations has been proven theoretically, the practical techno/economic feasibility of the concept has yet to be confirmed relative to real power station applications. To investigate this concept further, computer modelling software “THERMSOLV” was specifically developed for this project at Deakin University, together with the support of the Victorian power industry and Australian Research Council (ARC). This newly developed software simulates the steam cycle to assess the techno/economic merit of the solar aided concept for various power station structures, locations and local electricity market conditions. Two case studies, one in Victoria Australia and one in Yunnan Province, China, have been carried out with the software. Chapter one of this thesis defines the aims and scope of this study. Chapter two details the literature search in the related areas for this study. The thermodynamic concept of solar aid power generation technology has been described in chapter three. In addition, thermodynamic analysis i.e. exergy/availability has been described in this chapter. The “Thermosolv” software developed in this study is detailed in chapter four with its structure, functions and operation manual included. In chapter five the outcomes of two case studies using the “Thermosolv” software are presented, with discussions and conclusions about the study in chapters 6 and 7 respectfully. The relevant recommendations are then made in chapter eight.

Abstract:
With 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 the power output and heat rate of coal fired power plants. Unfortunately, the power industry has been slow to adopt this methodology, in part because of the lack of some details in the Code regarding the planning needed to design a performance test program for the determination of coal fired power plant performance. This paper will expand on the ASME PTC 46 (1996) Code by discussing key concepts that need to be addressed when planning an overall plant performance test of a coal fired power plant. The most difficult aspect of calculating coal fired power plant performance is integrating the calculation of boiler performance with the calculation of turbine cycle performance and other balance of plant aspects. If proper planning of the performance test is not performed, the integration of boiler and turbine data will result in a test result that does not accurately reflect the true performance of the overall plant. This planning must start very early in the development of the test program, and be implemented in all stages of the test program design. This paper will address the necessary planning of the test program, including: • Determination of Actual Plant Performance. • Selection of a Test Goal. • Development of the Basic Correction Algorithm. • Designing a Plant Model. • Development of Correction Curves. • Operation of the Power Plant during the Test. All nomenclature in this paper utilizes the ASME PTC 46 definitions for the calculation and correction of plant performance.

Abstract:
Since 50% of the electric power in the US is generated by pulverized-coal-fired power plants and 95% of the US fossil fuel reserves are coal, immediate action should be taken to improve coal-fired power plant performance. The DOE has started a program to develop most efficient coal-fired power plants with the goal to reach 60% net power plant efficiency. Present coal-fired power plants are mainly designed and built more than 30 years ago with a net power plant efficiency of about 32%. We should not wait for a general application of a future technology with the potential of reaching the 60% net efficiency level of coal-fired power plants. We must take action today and build more advanced pulverized-coal-fired power plants based on a technology, which has already gained operating experience and is commercially available. This paper shows how such power plants can be built as new units or as units replacing outdated units. A power plant net efficiency of 45% can be achieved even with highly effective emission reduction systems already included. The 40% lower specific coal consumption of these plants over present units reduces also the CO2 discharge by the same magnitude. Coal-fired power plants can also be designed for proving high operating flexibility. They can support the grid system in case of grid disturbances and can also stay at idle operation after full-load rejections for immediate reloading. Therefore, blackouts can be avoided. This paper provides detailed information on how to build such advanced pulverized-coal-fired power plants.

Abstract:
Coal-fired power plants are a source of inexpensive, reliable electricity for many countries. Unfortunately, their high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions rates contribute significantly to global climate change. With the likelihood of future policies limiting CO2 emissions, CO2 capture and sequestration (CCS) could allow for the continued use of coal while low- and zero-emission generation sources are developed and implemented. This work compares the potential impact of flexibly operating CO2 capture systems on the economic viability of using CCS in gas- and coal-dominated electricity markets. The comparison is made using a previously developed modeling framework to analyze two different markets: 1) a natural-gas dominated market (the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT) and 2) a coal-dominated market (the National Electricity Market, or NEM in Australia). The model uses performance and economic parameters for each power plant to determine the annual generation, CO2 emissions, and operating profits for each plant for specified input fuel prices and CO2 emissions costs. Previous studies of ERCOT found that flexible CO2 capture operation could improve the economic viability of coal-fired power plants with CO2 capture when there are opportunities to reduce CO2 capture load and increase electrical output when electricity prices are high. The model was used to compare the implications of using CO2 capture systems in the two electricity systems under CO2 emissions penalties from 0–100 US dollars per metric ton of CO2. Half the coal-fired power plants in each grid were selected to be considered for a CO2 capture retrofit based on plant efficiency, whether or not SO2 scrubbers are already installed on the plant, and the plant’s proximity to viable sequestration sites. Plants considered for CO2 capture systems are compared with and without inflexible CO2 capture as well as with two different flexible operation strategies. With more coal-fired power plants being dispatched as the marginal generator and setting the electricity price in the NEM, electricity prices increase faster due to CO2 prices than in ERCOT where natural gas-plants typically set the electricity price. The model showed moderate CO2 emissions reductions in ERCOT with CO2 capture and no CO2 price because increased costs at coal-fired power plants led to reduced generation. Without CO2 prices, installing CO2 capture on coal-fired power plants resulted in moderately reduced CO2 emissions in ERCOT as the coal-fired power plants became more expensive and were replaced with less expensive natural gas-fired generators. Without changing the makeup of the plant fleet in NEM, a CO2 price would not currently promote significant replacement of coal-fired power plants because there is minimal excess capacity with low CO2 emissions rates that can displace existing coal-fired power plants. Additionally, retrofitting CO2 capture onto half of the coal-based fleet in NEM did not reduce CO2 emissions significantly without CO2 costs being implemented because the plants with capture become more expensive and were replaced by the coal-fired power plants without CO2 capture. Operating profits at NEM capture plants increased as CO2 price increased much faster than capture plants in ERCOT. The higher rate of increasing profits for plants in NEM is due to the marginal generators in NEM being coal-based facilities with higher CO2 emissions penalties than the natural gas-fired facilities that set electricity prices in ERCOT. Overall, coal-fired power plants were more profitable with CO2 capture systems than without in both ERCOT and NEM when CO2 prices were higher than USD25/ton.
