한국전력기술

KEPCO E&C boasts globally competitive design technology for 500 MW, 800 MW, and 1000 MW coal-fired thermal power plants, having successfully designed 53 thermal power plant units in Korea.

In particular, based on our experience in designing 500 MW and 800 MW coal-fired power plants, we have developed a 1000 MW next-generation coal-fired power plant design and are now applying it as a core model for subsequent coal-fired power plants, starting with the Dangjin Thermal Power Plant Units 9 and 10 in 2007.

The model was designed to be equipped with the highest level of desulfurization and denitrification facilities, electrostatic precipitator facilities, and wastewater treatment facilities to minimize the emissions of harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, by applying cutting-edge environmental facilities that exceed international environmental regulations — such as GHG reduction standards. Incorporation of denitrification and electrostatic dust collection facilities into the design reduced nitrogen oxide (NOx) and dust emissions by more than 70%, and a desulfurization facility reduced sulfur oxides (SOx) by up to 95%. The 1000 MW coal-fired power plant is heralded as a renaissance in coal-fired power generation, boasting a power generation capacity comparable to that of a nuclear power plant and featuring state-of-the-art environmental facilities.
