In an energy import-dependent country, Taipower burns coal from different sources in order to alleviate its dependence on oil. It is desirable that a power station can burn a wide range of coal types with minimal sacrifices of operational safety, power-generating efficiency, environmental acceptability and economics. In addition, public concern over power plant pollution is prevalent throughout the country; thus, careful planning of coal-fired power plants is indispensable in the future. Consequently, clean coal technology must be adopted as much as possible in order to gain public support for new power projects. Pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) based on fluidized bed combustion (FBC) and gas turbine technologies was proved at four pilot plants in Sweden, Spain and the United States to be a viable utility-sized advanced coal-burning technology which is able to meet requirements for high efficiency and low emissions and is applicable to a wide range of combustion fuels. Therefore, it was thought to be high time to investigate the feasibility of adopting the technology to Taiwan`s future coal-fired power projects. ABB Carbon of Sweden was invited to perform the feasibility study.
