Abstract
This chapter discusses the feasibility and the possible ways of adapting the existing coal-fired power stations to the so-called clean coal technologies based on gas turbines, including dual-fuel gas-steam combined-cycle technology with power units coupled in series and parallel systems.
For the things of this world cannot be made
known without a knowledge of mathematics
(Roger Bacon, 1214–1294)
