There has been increased interest in firing wood waste as a supplement to coal in either pulverized coal (PC) or cyclone boilers at 1—5% of heat input. This appHcation has been demonstrated by such electric utilities as Santee-Cooper, Tennessee Valley Authority, Georgia Power, Dehnarva, and Northern States Power. Cofiring wood waste with coal in higher percentages, eg, 10—15% of heat input, in PC and cyclone boilers is being carefully considered by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This practice may have the potential to maximize the thermal efficiency of waste fuel combustion. If this practice becomes widespread, it will offer another avenue for use of fuels from waste.

Coal Liquefaction at Wilsonville. Starting ia 1974 the Advanced Coal Liquefaction R D Facihty at WilsonviUe, Alabama operated a 6 t/d pilot plant and studied various coal Hquefaction processiag schemes. The facihty, cosponsored by the DOE, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Amoco Oil Co, was shut down ia early 1992.

The pioneering 10-MW Solar One plant in Barstow, California, produced the most successful central receiver tests. The plant was funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and operated by Southern California Edison Company in the early to mid-1980s. EPRI provided technical evaluations of the experiment. The general conclusion drawn from Solar One and other experiments was that further substantial engineering development was needed. 

Based on the results of the Solar One plant. Southern California Edison formed a consortium that included DOE and EPRI to constmct a Solar Two Project. Solar Two will convert the idle Solar One central receiver plant from a water/steam system to a molten salt system, thereby improving efficiency and operating performance. With the molten salt technology, solar energy can be collected during the day and stored in the salt to produce electricity when needed. The three-year demonstration is scheduled to begin in late 1996. 

Also, EPRI is iavestigatiag whole-tree bum power plants that will dry and bum SRWC fuel without requiring tree trimming, wood chipping, or other fuel preparation. The concept iavolves the combustion of tree crops from farms distributed within a 40-km radius of a given plant. 

Harvested and defivered whole, the trees are dried ia an air-supported fiber glass dome stmcture over a 30-d period by usiag waste heat from the combustioa process ia the adjaceat plant (Pig. 5). Trees leave the dome on the conveyor and, at the boiler wall, batches ate cut iato sectioas to fit the boiler. These sectioas are about 8.5 mloag for the 100-MW facility studied by EPRI and the Mianesota Power Light Company. 

Not all of the gas is wasted. About 300 MW of electricity is generated from landfills. A variety of electric generation systems have been employed by a small number of developers. Most projects use simple technology and are small (2—10 MW). However, an EPRI study has estimated that landfill gas resources in the United States could support 6,000 MW of generation if utilized in 2-MW-sized carbonate fuel cells. Constmction on the world s first utihty-scale direct carbonate fuel cell demonstration was begun in California. If successful, EPRI estimates that precommercial 3-MW plants based on this design could become available by the end of this decade at an installed cost of 17,000/kW.
