RE: Conventional coal-fired power plants
This is good and very comprehensive. Did you write it? I noticed that several of the figures scattered throughout the article were attributed to you.

RE: Conventional coal-fired power plants
I do have some suggestions for consideration...

RE: Conventional coal-fired power plants
for the four or five sentences that I know about, I do have a correction if you like....
The entire rotating mass may weigh over 180 metric tons and be 30 metres long. The internal clearances are so close that it must be kept turning slowly at 3 rpm (using a turning gear mechanism) when shut down so that the shaft will not thermally bow even slightly and become [b]bound[b].
Another essential system is the turbine lubricating oil system which supplies oil to all turbine bearings to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the turbine shaft and the shaft bearings. The turbine shaft literally floats on a film of oil at the bearing points. This is so important that it is one of only major functions to be maintained by the emergency power batteries on site.

Thanks very much for your suggestions. They have been implemented.
