Measures for efficiency increase of conventional Plants. Novel technologies for solid fuels utilization for power generation (IGCC-PFBC) - Fluidized Bed combustion Technology. CO₂ separation and capture. Pulverized Brown coal combustion in Large scale Plants - Effect of fuel quality and combustion scheme on the emissions of SO₂, NO_x and unburned fuel, units efficiency and availability. Utilization of alternative fuels (biomass). Natural gas utilization - Co-generation - Fuel Cells. Radiation heat transfer in combustion chambers - Effect of Slagging on thermal transfer.
