Coal is the most available fuel, has a rather stable price and as a result is the most costeffective fossilfired technology. Nowadays, crude oil or heavy fuel oil have become quite unusual as fuels for electricity generation purposes. Sulzer provides maintenance and service for all rotating equipment to improve efficiency and reliability.

CoalBased Generating Plants • Average age of the fleet is over 35 years old • There are more than 1,000 boilers in the fleet • Average generating efficiency of the fleet is about 33% • Current lifeextension capabilities could keep some units in operation for another 30+ years • More than 100 new coalbased power plants
The purpose of the coal stockyard is to ensure that there is sufficient coal reserves available to keep the power station in operation should the mine experience production problems. Inside the power station, the coal is pulverised to a fine powder in giant grinding mills. This is because pulverised coal burns quickly, like gas.
Sual Process Flow. FROM COAL TO ENERGY. Like any coalfired thermal power plant, Sual Power Station generates electricity through the simple principle of energy conversion from one form to another. Our entire process of producing electrical energy can be simplified into four main components:
1. Introduction. In China's primary energy consumption system, the proportion of raw coal has remained above 70% for a long time, and the raw coal consumption for power generation has exceeded 50% of the domestic coal consumption [1].Of the total emissions released by coalfired power plants in China, CO 2, SO 2, and NO X account for more than 40%, 40%, and 35%, respectively.
At present, computerbased programming and advanced software used in simulation, modeling and optimization used in process industries playing an important role.

An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a technology using a high pressure gasifier to turn coal and other carbon based fuels into pressurized gas—synthesis gas ().It can then remove impurities from the syngas prior to the electricity generation cycle. Some of these pollutants, such as sulfur, can be turned into reusable byproducts through the Claus process.
Gasfired power plants. GPPs use gas to produce power, which leads to an increase in the dependence of the EN on the GN. Therefore, some of the security concerns between the two energy networks need to be thoroughly analyzed in the presence of GPPs. For instance, unlike oil and coal, gas is not stored onsite, which means that GPPs rely ...
The NGCC power plant illustrated in Fig. is a combination of two ther modynamic cycles, a Brayton cycle and a Rankine cycle (Rackley, 2010).This produces a higher thermal efficiency. The Brayton cycle is an open cycle that uses air and exhaust gases as working fluids and consists of a compressor, a combustor and a turbine.

IGCC can increase net efficiency by applying highefficiency technology based on a heated natural gasfired gas turbine. Commercial oxygenblown IGCC equipment based on a gas turbine has a net efficiency of about 46% (HHV), thereby saving CO 2 emissions by about 10% from leadingedge pulverized coalfired power plants.

A simple schematic diagram of a coal based thermal power plant is shown in Fig. The efficiency of the overall conversion process is poor and its maximum value is about 40% because of the high heat losses in the combustion gases and the large quantity of heat rejected to the condenser which has to be given off in cooling towers or into a ...

Generating Electricity with Coal After doing its work in the turbine, the steam is drawn into a condenser, a large chamber in the basement of the power plant. Thermalbased power plants can produce electricity from coal or other fuel sources. The coalfired process requires three different steps to turn energy released
Coalbased power generation units are the largest anthropocentric source of CO2, and higher emission rates due to cycling can significantly contribute to global warming and climate change.
