Heat–power decoupling technologies for coal-fired CHP plants: Operation …

Hence, the adjustable range of power load is restricted by prior heating load. As a result, the operational flexibilities of coal-fired CHP plants are even worse than those of coal-fired power plants without heat supply. The heat-controlled operation mode narrows the power regulation range of coal-fired CHP plants [14]. Consequently, a …
