Abstract

Right from the outset, ENEL decided to adopt advanced clean coal technology in its conversion plans for the 4x660 MWe oil fired Torrevaldaliga Nord power plant. The new units will have the same gross capacity as the old ones, but efficiency will increase more than 10%, rising from 40% to 44.7% -mainly through the adoption of supercritical boilers with high superheater and reheater temperatures (600o/610°C).
