Recent Coal based power plants

Recent Coal based power plants

  • All the recently commissioned coal-fired power plants of high efficiency use pulverised coal combustion (PCC) with supercritical (strictly, beyond the critical point of water, 22.1 MPa, 374°C) steam turbine cycles.
  • Among supercritical plants, those using the highest steam temperatures (around 580°C and above) can be referred to as ultra-supercritical, although that borderline is rather arbitrary.
