Economic Analysis of Blending Lignitous Coal and Indonesia Coal for the Power Plant Boiler
The fuel cost accounts for over 70% the total generating cost. With the continuous roaring of the coal price, the profit of the thermal power enterprises has decreased substantially and as a result the whole thermal power industry even operates in loss. In order to improve this operation situation, some thermal power plants try to add the non-designed low price coal to the fuel. This paper introduces the general situation and actual execution schemes of blending lignitous coal and Indonesia coal in a power plant, studies the influence of different blending schemes on the boiler's efficiency, and makes an analysis on their economic benefits, which can be used as a reference for other similar power plants.
