Integrated modelling for improving the design and operation of steam power plants

Power producing companies have faced a new situation following the development of unregulated electricity markets. Strong competition forces them to take power production costs into account more carefully in order to maintain or increase profits. Additionally, to promote the efforts to reduce CO2 emissions,legislation and taxation drives...

Steam boilers: Process models for improved operation and design

Biomass combustion can be an economic way to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions, which are a main suspect of the so-called greenhouse effect. In order to promote a widespread utilization of biomass combustion, operational problems like fuel treatment, slagging, fouling and corrosion have to be solved. There are few research initiatives...
