Trends in power plant engineering
Description
With a tradition of more than 100 years, power plant engineering is a mature technology in which dramatic progress has been made recently. For example, while specific fuel consumption decreased by one order of magnitude and specific emissions by two to three orders of magnitude, the end product, electricity, has also become cheaper. This is due to new product and process developments which are a challenge to the power plant industry as a whole
Abstract (German)
Der Kraftwerksbau ist eine reife Technologie mit einer Tradition von ueber 100 Jahren. Dramatische Fortschritte wurden erzielt. Waehrend sich beispielsweise der spezifische Verbrauch von Brennstoffen um eine und die spezifischen Emissionen um zwei bis drei Groessenordnungen verringerten, verbilligte sich gleichzeitig das Produkt Strom. Moeglich gemacht haben dies neue Produkt- und Prozessentwicklungen, eine Herausforderung fuer die gesamte Kraftwerksindustrie. (orig.)Additional details
