Assess energy and carbon in coal-fired power generation

Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.

01

Set the assessment boundary

Define the unit, fuel, operating mode and heat-rate boundary. Separate boiler, turbine, emissions controls and auxiliaries.

02

Collect site evidence

Fuel analysis and energy, net and gross generation, load, steam conditions, auxiliary electricity, starts, outage state and reporting period.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Record the decision

Normalise for fuel quality, load and ambient conditions. Assess a measure against the unit's operating role and remaining approved life.

04

Assess exposed hot equipment

Review boiler-house and steam-cycle equipment, valves, flanges and accessible hot surfaces using a tagged coverage inventory.

05

Use the technical source

International Energy Agency: Electricity

This page does not assign a sector benchmark, standard saving, cost or payback. Use current site data, record the calculation method and obtain the required technical and compliance review.
