Energy-loss mechanism of boilers system in large-scale coal-fired power plants and the corresponding energy-saving approaches

To evaluate the energy efficiency of the energy conversion and transfer, and the dig energy-saving potential during coal-fired power generation, the energy-loss mechanism was determined through a comparative analysis of thermal and exergy equilibria. Energy loss is first identified as exergy destruction, which is then gradually collected and finally discharged in the form of waste heat through terminals such as a condenser. Furthermore, the...
