在可供开发的煤矿较多的国家中,褐煤仍然是电力工业的主要能源之一。与高热值燃料,例如烟煤,重油或天然气相比,褐煤煤质对燃料处理,燃烧和蒸发过程本身有很大的影响。褐煤电站的投资费用较大,同时很大一部分燃料方面的支出花在固定投资上,因为只有采用高度的机械化设备,褐煤燃烧才能获得经济上的效果。 Lignite remains one of the major energy sources in the power industry in the countries where there are more coal mines available for development. Lignite coal quality has a significant impact on the fuel handling, combustion and evaporation processes themselves compared to high calorific fuels, such as bituminous coal, heavy oil or natural gas. Lignite power plants are expensive to invest and a significant portion of fuel costs are spent on fixed investments because lignite combustion can achieve economic results only with highly mechanized equipment.
