Das Trockenbraunkohle befeuerte Kraftwerk

From about 2015 on, the dry lignite-fired power plant will be the new standard in the lignite sector. The efficiency of this power plant will be over 10%, relatively, above that of today's modern lignite-fired power plants. It is based on the WTA technology (fluidised bed drying with internal waste heat utilisation) developed by RWE to pre-dry the lignite and recover the drying energy. In 2008/2009, tests will be performed in the BoA 1 unit at Niederausem to secure this technology for commercial operation.
