Integration of solar energy with coal power system
Steam produced by solar energy can be used to:
• heat the boiler feed-water in a closed cycle (The Colorado Integrated Solar Project);
• replace the steam extracted from steam turbine to heat the feed-water (Sundt Solar
Boost Project);
• power the steam turbine, after being further heated, to generate electricity (Kogan
Creek Solar Boost Project), or
• use the solar thermal energy to preheat combustion air.

Concluding remarks
Coal will continue to play an important role in the
world power generation.
Technologies for power generation systems
alternative to steam Rankine cycle are under
development and some have achieved significant
progress in recent years.
If these technologies can be developed into practical
systems, they could ultimately have a significant
impact on coal-based power generation.
