Abstract
In this paper, we discuss increasing the fuel efficiency and the efficiency of combustion processes in power plants based on the data of physical and computational experiments. Two ignition systems of a fuel mixture, one of which uses a multipoint pulsed spark discharge, and the other uses a multipoint streamer discharge, are considered. A comparative estimate of the energy efficiency of each of the approaches to the ignition of a fuel mixture is performed, and conclusions about their effectiveness and prospects for use are drawn.
