supercritical and ultra-supercritical power generation
Supercritical and ultra-supercritical power generation refer to advanced technologies used in thermal power plants to increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. These systems operate at higher temperatures and pressures than conventional power plants, utilizing supercritical or ultra-supercritical steam conditions. This enables more efficient conversion of fuel to electricity, resulting in higher power output and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, these technologies help to limit greenhouse gas emissions, making them more environmentally friendly than traditional power generation methods.
