Description
This dataset represents the facility construction, equipment installation, decommissioning and dismantling of the main facilities of a 350 MW-class coal-fired power plant in China. The technical service life of the power plant is 40 years, with an annual electricity generation of 1.575 billion kWh. The dataset primarily considers construction materials (the three key building materials), piping, paint, cables, civil works, land occupation, and energy consumption, excluding equipment quantities related to desulfurization and denitrification systems. A uniform assumption is applied for the decommissioning and demolition stage: a 90% recycling rate is assumed for metals and cables, while foam, glass, and plastics are incinerated, and the remaining materials are disposed of via landfill. The data are primarily derived from official publications, and have undergone screening and standardization processes, ensuring good representativeness, accuracy, and applicability.
Activity Description
The system boundary includes raw material preparation, on-site construction and installation, as well as decommissioning and dismantling phases, but excludes the operation and maintenance phase.
Process Description
The product refers to a facility that uses coal as the primary fuel, releasing energy through coal combustion to drive power generation equipment for producing electricity. Coal-fired power generation is one of the main forms of conventional thermal power generation and has long held a significant position in the energy structure.
