The San Miguel Plant is a mine-mouth electric power complex located near San Antonio, designed to burn very low grade Texas lignite. The first 400 MW unit is scheduled to begin operation in Dec. 1979. The testing, fuel characteristics, mining, and pulverizing of the on-site fuel, the design of the power generating equipment and the power plant auxiliary equipment, i.e., cooling system, waste handling system, pollution control equipment, and control system are described. The San Miguel Plant is of international interest since it will burn the lowest quality coal ever considered for a large power station in the US. (LCL)
