Power Plant Fuel Base Expansion

The possibility of using new fuel sources at power plants is most relevant in our time, this is due to the environmental situation at the places of oil, gas and coal production, and to the incomplete production of oil and gas fields. The article proposes to expand the fuel base of power plants by including, where possible, low-pressure gas, which should replace coal-based electricity generation, following international practice. The disadvantages of using coal in the electric power industry are considered. A classification of low-pressure gas with a brief description of each type of LPG is given. A comparative assessment of the cost of electricity in case of refusal of coal and the purchase of energy at a wholesale market and energy generation using low-pressure gas
