Power plant design. Taking full advantage of modularization

The concept of modularizing pulverized coal-fired and fluidized-bed power plants has been around since the mid-1980s, but the use of modular or skid designs has not been fully exploited. By maximizing the use of modular design and construction, significant cost and schedule savings can be realized. This article will discuss modular plant design and how it differs from conventional stick-built design, including cost and project schedules.
