scholarly journals NOx Emission Analysis in Flue Gas of Coal Fired Thermal Power Station and it’s Control Measure

The growth and development of any country is measured by the electricity generation which paves way for industrialization and mechanization. To meet the ever increasing demand, the best way to generate consistent power is setting up of large thermal power plants. India is rich with coal reserves and is very cheap when compared with other fuels, hence coal is used as the primary fuel for power generation in India. Thermal generation using coal accounts for 65% of the total power produced. Power plants in India uses different qualities of coal, different combustion technologies and operating conditions. Flue Gases emitted from coal fired thermal stations consists of CO2,(Carbon-di-oxide),SOx (Oxides of Sulphur), NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen), PM (Particulate matter) along with carbonaceous material, soot and Fly ash. These gaseous pollutants are considered as environmental burden which ultimately results in smog formation, formation of acid rain, eutrophication and global warming and has to be controlled and regulated to be within the permissible limits as stipulated by MOEF &CC (Ministry of Environmental Forest and Climate Change). This project describes about the analysis of NOx Emission in Flue Gas of Coal fired thermal stations and the measures to control the NOx emission within the permissible limits for the existing thermal power plants by modifying the combustion technology without affecting the power generation. The primary measure to control NOx emission is achieved by in - combustion control by modifying the conventional burner with the Low Nox Burner combined with Over Fire Air which bring about 45-80% NOx emission reduction, which is cost effective and could be implemented with minimum down time for installation. The application of Low Nox Burner with Over Fire Air Technology in the existing thermal power plant has reduced the emission of NOx to a considerable extent and to meet the norms within minimum period without affecting the power generation.

The ever increasing demand for power is mostly met out by electricity produced with the available resources. One such source where generation of power is by making use of the fossil fuel such as coal. Thermal generation using coal accounts for 69% of the total power produced in India. Flue Gases emitted from coal fired thermal stations consists of CO2,(Carbon-di-oxide),SOx (Oxides of Sulphur), NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen), PM (Particulate matter) along with carbonaceous material, soot and Fly ash. These gaseous pollutants are considered as environmental burden which ultimately results in smog formation, formation of acid rain, eutrophication and global warming which has to be controlled and regulated within the permissible limits as stipulated by MOEF &CC (Ministry of Environmental Forest and Climate Change). This project describes about the analysis of reduction of NOx Emission in Flue Gas of Coal fired thermal stations and the measures to control the NOx emission within the permissible limits for the new thermal power plants by treating the flue gas emitted from the stack. The secondary measure to reduce the NOx emission is achieved by treating the flue gas with urea or ammonia which bring about 90% NOx emission reduction. The application of Low Nox Burner with Over Fire Air Technology along with Selective Catalytic Reduction in the new thermal power plant reduce the emission of NOx to a considerable extent and to meet the norms

The percentage of heat pumps used in thermal power plants (TPPs) in the fuel and energy balance is extremely low in in most countries. One of the reasons for this is the lack of a systematic approach to selecting and justifying the circuit solutions and equipment capacity. This article aims to develop a new method of calculating the maximum capacity of heat pumps. The method proposed in the article has elements of marginal analysis. It takes into account the limitation of heat pump capacity by break-even operation at electric power market (compensation of fuel expenses, connected with electric power production). In this case, the heat pump’s maximum allowable capacity depends on the electric capacity of TPP, electricity consumption for own needs, specific consumption of conditional fuel for electricity production, a ratio of prices for energy resources, and a conversion factor of heat pump. For TPP based on combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) CCGT-450 with prices at the Russian energy resources markets at the level of 2019, when operating with the maximum heat load, the allowable heat pump capacity will be about 50 MW, and when operating with the minimum heat load—about 200 MW.

With the development of biomass power generation technology, biomass waste has a more excellent recycling value. The article establishes a biomass waste inventory model based on the material flow analysis method and predicts raw material waste’s energy utilization potential. The results show that the amount of biomass waste generated from 2016 to 2020 is on the rise. In 2020, biomass waste’s energy utilization can reach 107,802,300 tons, equivalent to 1,955.28PJ of energy. Through biomass energy analysis and emission analysis, the results show that the biomass waste can generate 182.02 billion kW⋅h in 2020, which can replace 35.9% of the region’s total power consumption, which is compared with the traditional power generation method under the same power generation capacity. Power generation can reduce SO2 emissions by 250,400 tons, NOx emissions by 399,300 tons, and PM10 emissions by 49,700 tons. Reduce direct economic losses by 712 million yuan. Therefore, Chinese promotion of the recycling of biomass waste and the acceleration of the biomass energy industry’s development is of great significance for reducing pollutant emissions and alleviating energy pressure.

The structure of electricity cost formation for consumers, including depending on the cost of TPP generation, «green» energy and other sources, is investigated, and the main conditions of the efficient regulatory function fulfillment in the power system by thermal power generation in the conditions of Ukraine's course on carbon-free energy are formulated. It is shown that excessive electricity losses in networks and, especially, accelerated increase of the share of «green» generation, much more expensive than nuclear, hydro and thermal, mainly contribute to the growth of electricity costs for non-household consumers and the need to raise tariffs for the population. This accelerated increase directly contradicts the Paris Climate Agreement, according to which plans to reduce Ukraine’s greenhouse gas emissions must be developed taking into account available energy resources and without harming its own economy. The dependences of the specific fuel consumption on the average load and the frequency of start-stops of units are found and it is shown that the increased specific fuel consumption on coal TPPs is an inevitable payment for their use as regulating capacities of UES of Ukraine. In this case, the higher the proportion of «green» generation and a smaller proportion of generating thermal power plants, especially increasing specific fuel consumption. It is proved that in the conditions of growth of the share of «green» generation in Ukraine the share of production of pulverized coal thermal power plants should be kept at the level of not less than 30 % of the total electricity generation. It is substantiated that a necessary condition for coal generation to perform a proper regulatory role in the power system is to introduce both environmental and technical measures, namely — reducing the suction of cold air to the furnace and other boiler elements, restoring condensers and cooling systems, etc. An important factor in reducing the average level of specific fuel consumption is also the reduction of coal burn-out at thermal power plants, where it still remains significant, due to the transfer of power units to the combustion of bituminous coal concentrate.

This paper mainly seeks to explore and answer some questions for desulfurization and denitration in thermal power plants in China. Firstly, the desulfurization and denitration technology applicated in the power plant in China at present were analyzed. It is considered that taken combination of the existed technique for purified the pollutants from the thermal power plants, not only lead to the wastage of huge amount of investment, increasing of operating costs, decreasing of the economic benefits, but also add an additional area. It is necessary to develop the integration technology of desulfurization and denitration simultaneously. Secondly the integration technology of desulfurization and denitration at present in China was briefly reviewed such as activated carbon adsorption, SNRB, etc. and most of those at a research stage include the plasma technology. In the third of the paper, the non-thermal plasma technology i.e electron-beam technique, corona discharge and dielectric barrier discharge were discussed. Finally, combined with the actual situation in China, the application prospects of the desulfurization and denitration technology using plasma discharge in the flue gas was bring up. The article also pointed out the barriers need to be overcome if the technology will be applied in power plant, as well as the development direction of desulfurization and denitration technology from flue gas in power plant in China.
