In 2003, about 90% of the new combined-cycle capacity was already in commercial operation, while the program of conversion to coal ... was about to start. The Torrevaldaliga oil to coal conversion project is part of this strategic plan. The existing plant is equipped with four Babcock & Wilcox once-through oil-fired supercritical boilers. Three of the units will be converted to coal, while the fourth will be dismantled. 2, record 2, English, - supercritical%20boiler

Advantages of supercritical boiler application. Thermal efficiency. Under the same performance conditions(i. e. fuel properties, ambient temperature, flue gas temperature at air heater outlet, etc), there is no difference in the boiler efficiency between subcritical and supercritical steam conditions. The improvement in plant efficiency by using supercritical cycle results in fuel consumption savings and reduced flue gas emissions. 1, record 2, English, - supercritical%20boiler

In the closed-cycle gas turbine, essentially all the working medium(except for seal leakage, bleed loss, and any addition or extraction of working medium for control purposes) is continuously recycled. Heat from a source such as fossil fuel(or possibly, nuclear reaction) is transferred through the walls of a closed heater to the cycle. The closed cycle can be charged with gases other than air, such as helium, carbon dioxide or nitrogen. 1, record 4, English, - closed%2Dcycle%20gas%20turbine
