Cleaner, More Efficient Coal Power Poised to Transform Energy Landscape
The article discusses the benefits of using Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology in coal power generation. It compares IGCC to traditional coal power plants in terms of pollution levels and efficiency. The research shows that IGCC power plants are slightly more efficient than other types of coal-fired units, but they have limitations in terms of system configuration and economic viability. The article suggests that combining coal chemical industry with IGCC is the future direction for industrial development. It also provides performance parameters for various gas turbines.
