The various components of steam coal (ash, sulfur, Btu, and moisture content) significantly affect boiler performance. Decisions regarding the purchase of blends of coal which vary from that for which a unit is designed will result in changes in availability and heat rates for that unit. This article examines potential performance losses attributable to coal quality. Research conducted by the authors reveals specific effects of burning alternate grades of coal and suggests the means of translating unit performance into cost, enabling the coal purchaser to make a more accurate evaluation of that fuel. 2 references, 1 table.
