Power Plants 2006

Scope and Topics

The symposium is a meeting of the researchers, engineers and experts dealing with problems related to the technological chain of electricity production in power plants. Alongside the participants from Serbia and Montenegro, we are expecting participation of our colleagues from neighboring and South-East European countries as well as other countries. The contributions and the papers are expected to relate to the following main topics:

1. Energy resources and sustainable development (characteristics of available energy resources used for power production in the following period; planning, effective consumption, perspectives and improvement of coal characteristics as the main fuel used in thermal power plants);

2. Energy efficiency and effective operation of power plants (energy efficiency of all processes and equipments used in technological system of power production; research and modeling of thermal power plant boilers, turbines and other plants processes; combined production of heat and electrical energy, reliability and availability of facilities and power plants; effective utilization and reduction of fuel consumption; optimization of working parameters of processes, equipment, facilities and whole power plants; economic handling of processes; rationalizations and innovations of the production processes; introduction of system of quality);

3. Questions concerning power plants life cycle extension and introduction of new production technologies and equipments (diagnostic of equipment conditions and remaining exploitation period, process diagnostic, planning, realization and analysis of revitalization, improvements of mechanical and electro equipment);

4. Power plants exploitation problems (development and application of diagnostic methods and equipment for process monitoring and management; improvement of equipment regarding occurring processes; contemporary production organization, methods and tools for equipment maintenance);

5. Ecological aspects concerning operation process of all systems included in power plant's electrical energy production (ecological aspects of exploitation of coal used in power production in thermal power plants; methods, technical and technological solution and equipment for pollution of air, waterways and soil caused by power plant operation; domestic and foreign know-how in environment protection).
