Zusammenfassung:Introduction -- The role of coal-fired power in the U.S. electricity sector -- Coal-fired power plant designs, systems, and components -- Market structure -- Workforce -- Observations and remaining questions.
This monograph addresses the concern about whether the industrial base for the U.S. domestic coal-based electricity-generation industry can maintain the capability to design, construct, operate, and maintain coal-fired EGUs within reasonable cost, schedule, performance, environmental, and quality expectations. By first describing the capability that is inherent in the existing coal-fired fleet, this monograph takes a first step toward addressing the larger policy questions of how to develop, deploy, and maintain an advanced, low-carbon electricity-generation industry capability into the future. - P. 4 of cover
