At the Union Electric Meramec power plant in St. Louis, tests in which refuse-derived fuel was co-fired with pulverized coal in a tangential suspension-fired coal boiler have been conducted. Data obtained were used to calculate the megawatt-hours of electrical energy produced by refuse-derived fuel. The experimental method used, the results obtained, and a discussion of these results are presented in this report.

The pulverized coal concentration in blast pipe in front of firebox is one key parameter in coal boiler used in a power plant; it will affect the state of burning in firebox. This paper proposes a new digital correlation method to measure the time delay of ultrasonic for measuring the pulverized coal concentration. The principle of measurement is discussed in detail and the measuring system is designed.

The availability (readiness) of a Steam Power Plant (PLTU) is an important factor, since one income from a Power Plant is based on its readiness reflected in the EAF (Equivalent Availibility Factor). Factor opposite to Availibility is Outage. Outage occurs when a unit is out of sync to a network and not in a Reserve Shutdown state.

In this study, a simulation model of in-grid solar-to-electrical energy conversion system is presented. In this case, the in-grid solar-to-electrical energy conversion system is small photovoltaic power plant, which was constructed by the Center for Renewable Energy and Power Quality from Faculty of Technical Sciences (FTS). Equivalent circuit diagram of photovoltaic cell is described which was used to develop the simulation model of modules. Possible types and topologies of inverters are also described. The photovoltaic power plant is described briefly, because it is necessary to understand the simulation model. The result of simulation is an electricity annual production by the power plant. These results were compared with the real values, while its get a good overlap. The paper also presents the modern modeling methods developed at Faculty of Technical Sciences in the Laboratory for RES systems.
