Advanced power plant materials, design and technology

(ISBN 978-1-84569-515-6)
Fossil-fuel power plants generate the majority of the world’s power, but
many plants are ageing and cannot meet rising global energy demands and
increasingly stringent emissions criteria. To ensure security and economy of
supply, utilities are building a new generation of advanced power plant with
increased output and environmental performance. This book initially reviews
improved plant designs for efficiency and fuel flexibility, including combined-
cycle technology and utilisation of lower-grade feedstocks. Coverage extends
to advanced material and component use, and the incorporation of alternative
energy conversion technology, such as hydrogen production. Environmental
and emissions performance issues round off the book.

Oxy-fuel combustion for power generation and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture
(ISBN: 978-1-84569-671-9)
Oxy-fuel combustion is a power generation and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture
option for advanced power plant in which fuel is burnt in an oxygen-rich
environment instead of in air. This allows for a reduction in NOx and SOx
emissions as well as producing a high-purity carbon dioxide (CO2) flue gas
stream. This high-purity CO2 stream allows for more efficient and economical
capture, processing and sequestration. This book critically reviews the
fundamental principles, processes and technology of oxy-fuel combustion,
including advanced concepts for its implementation.
