Abstract: As part of its research and development program on advanced steam plants, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) recently conducted a two-year study of Japanese planning, design, operation, and maintenance practices for coal-fired power plants. Although only about 4% of the electricity in Japan is generated from coal (1983 data), it is planned that coal firing will account for 11% of Japan's generating capacity by 1995. All new coal-fired power plants will use supercritical steam pressures in order to attain high efficiency (low heat rates). The results of the study are described.
