This paper examines a novel integration mechanism of solar energy into a 300 MW coal-fired power plant to improve the performance and techno-economic feasibility of the proposed system while decreasing pollutant emissions by coal consumption reduction.
In suitable locations, solar energy can be used to raise steam that can be fed into an existing coal-fired power plant (a coal-solar hybrid).
Two possible options are explored here: combining solar energy with coal-fired power generation, and cofiring natural gas in coal-fired plants. Both techniques show potential. Depending on the individual circumstances, both can increase the flexibility of a power plant whilst reducing its emissions. In some cases, plant costs could also be reduced.
Besides, there are many possible integration mechanisms for integrating solar energy into a coal-fired power plant, such as air preheating, feedwater preheating, saturated steam generation, steam superheating, steam reheating, lignite drying, CO 2 capturing, flue gas cleaning, etc. [ 12, 13 ].
There are two methods to generate electricity from solar energy: combining solar power with coal-fired power plants (co-firing) and combining solar power with natural gas power plants (co-firing).
