Shentou Second Power Plant, Shentou City, Shanxi Province, China

摘要

A modern coal-fired power plant may operate with a thermal efficiency of 40% to 45%, which means that 55% to 60% of the fuel energy entering the plant is rejected as waste heat up the stack or to the condensing system. Economic recovery of that low-level energy has stymied plant designers for years. Shentou Second Power Plant presents an excellent solution.
