Abstract
Coal-fired generation has long been and still is one of the leaders in global power generation. According to the International Energy Agency, the current share of coal-fired generation is about 39%. Despite the global trend of decarbonization, global coal-fired power generation is steadily growing. In 2019, the growth of coal-fired generation amounted to about 1,5 %. As of 2019, global proven coal reserves are concentrated in the United States (23 %), the Russian Federation (15 %), Australia (14 %) and China (13 %) and amount to about 1,070 billion tons. Consumption of high-sulfur viscous fuel oils as a stoking, reserve or main fuel leads to emissions of such harmful substances as benz(a) pyrene and vanadium pentaoxide in addition to toxic sulfur, nitrogen and carbon oxides. At formation of sulfur oxides the dew point temperature of flue gases increases, which leads to formation of sulfuric acid and, as a consequence, to frequent repairs of tail parts of boiler units due to their corrosion. The article presents a review of modern technologies of pulverized coal-fired boiler units ignition, and also presents the original technology of electric ignition and the experience of implementation at the operating energy enterprises.
