Description
Gas-fired power is electricity generated by using blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, and converter gas as fuel. This method effectively utilizes by-products from steel production, thereby reducing energy waste. After purification, the gas is delivered to power stations, where gas turbines or gas generators are typically used as the main electricity generation equipment. This dataset is formed by merging data from multiple sources.
Activity Description
The core process of gas-fired power generation involves converting the gas produced during the metallurgical processes of blast furnaces, coke ovens, and converters into electrical energy. The gas-fired power generation process includes auxiliary material procurement and storage, gas transportation to combustion equipment, combustion of mixed fuels, conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy, as well as treatment of by-products and waste generated during the power generation process.
