| Abstract | The development of coal-fired power plants in Vietnam is increasing due to fuel availability. Coal mines are concentrated mainly in the Northern Vietnam and most of coal available is anthracite. According to the development scheme of electric resources of Vietnam, a number of coal-fired power plants is planned to install in the near future with unit's capacities up to 600 M\V. Anthracite coal with high Reaction Index is difficult to bum in the conventional boilers because of its very low volatile matter content (2-10%). At present, two trends of selecting combustion technology are used to burn anthracite coal. They are Pulverized Coal Combustion and Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Technologies. In this thesis, anthracite coal characteristics and pulverized-coal systems used in Vietnam coal-fired power plants are discussed. Present pulverized-coal systems of existing coalfired power plants are described with their advantages and disadvantages. A suitable combustion technology is selected based on the experience of other coal-fired power plants around the world that use similar coal characteristics. The feasibility study of renovation of an old power plant, Pha Lai 1, also is evaluated in this thesis |
