Techno-economic feasibility of a solar assisted coal power plant
The use of solar heat in conventional coal-fired power plants has been demonstrated to reduce the coal consumption of the plant. A reduction in the amount of coal that is burnt by the power plant, means that less greenhouse gases are emitted by the power plant. Hence, the plant has a smaller impact …
