4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Solar-coal hybrid power generation"

Can solar power be combined with coal-fired generating capacity?

One possible option is to combine solar thermal power with coal-fired generating capacity—so-called coal-solar hybridization. The media sometimes reports on the development of 'hybrid' power projects, although in reality these are often merely co-located generation facilities.

What is a hybrid power plant?

Whichever mode is adopted, the design and integration of the solar field into the conventional system is critical for the proper functioning of a hybrid plant. In principle, this form of hybrid technology can be applied to any form of conventional thermal (coal-, gas-, oil- or biomass-fired) power plant, either existing or new build.

Can a solar field be used to power a hybrid plant?

Alternatively, input from the solar field can be used to produce additional steam that can be fed through the turbine, increasing electricity output (solar boost). Whichever mode is adopted, the design and integration of the solar field into the conventional system is critical for the proper functioning of a hybrid plant.

How can a coal-fired power plant improve efficiency?

Coal-fired power operators continue to look for ways to increase the efficiency and extend the working lives of their plants by improving operational flexibility and reducing environmental impact. Two possible options are explored here: combining solar energy with coal-fired power generation, and cofiring natural gas in coal-fired plants.
