Abstract
Advancements in supercritical (SC), ultrasupercritical (USC), and advanced USC coal-fired power plants have been achieved through the development of enhanced materials utilized in advanced steam cycles and through the deployment of advanced emission control systems. These are referred to as high-efficiency low-emission (HELE) technologies, which may solve numerous issues associated with coal-based power generation. There is a clear global transition from subcritical to advanced power plant types and significant R&D work on HELE technologies. Therefore, this comprehensive review covers the latest HELE technology deployment in major coal-consuming countries and their R&D roadmaps to advance HELE technologies. In spite of the various advantages of HELE technologies, there have been numerous technical challenges relevant to achieving the HELE steam conditions and deploying low emission control technologies in the HELE systems. Hence, this review covers the technical challenges and the relevant recent research by using various coal combustion test facilities. The current focus for the progression from USC boilers to advanced USC boilers is a successful demonstration of the developed high-performance alloys under the advanced steam conditions. This review covers the current status of research and development of advanced USC (A-USC) materials and challenges based on the major material research programs.
