In the fossil-fuel power utility area, the large capacity coal-fired boiler has been developed for higher efficiencies.
The Tachibana-Wan Thermal Power Station's No. 2 Unit (1,050 MW) was completed for the Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (EPDC) in December of 2000.
It has the advanced steam parameters of 25.0 MPa and 600/610°C. The 3,000-t/h coal-fired boiler for the unit was supplied by Babcock-Hitachi K.K. (BHK), who confirmed, during the commissioning period, that the boiler meets all of its performance specifications.
To achieve these high-level steam parameters, newly developed high-strength materials were used in the high-temperature areas, and the latest combustion technology was used for environmental protection as well as for high levels of efficiency and reliability.
This article focuses on the latest boiler technologies and operating experience during the commissioning process.
