Advances in PF Plant, 1990 to 2010

摘要

This paper demonstrates the viability of well proven super critical PF technology which has achieved remarkable improvements concerning cost of electricity and environmental performance during the recent 10 to 15 years. It may be concluded that on basis of the present coal prices, capital cost, and financing conditions, new super critical capacity seems very competitive. Furthermore, the paper shows the potential of future improvements, which however needs political and economical support to be deployed. The situation for European power manufacturing industry is severe so. hopefully, ongoing efforts to find a solution with the European Commission and the European Parliament will succeed.
