A systems-analysis of coal-fired power plants in Thailand is carried out to give fundamental information for decision analysis. A coal-fired power plant reference system was established, with a view to providing insight' on energy/environment development policies. The objective was to reduce the gap between energy planning and environmental system planning. This study covers the determination of coal-fired power plant policies and the quantified impacts from each policy with reference to the objectives & attributes. The policies studied include fuel characteristics and control technologies. A reference plant for lignite/coal-fired power plants was developed as a basis for calculating resource requirements, the impacts to land, water, air, and safety, and generating cost. The results of the attributes from each policy provide estimates of selected impacts of the energy systems.
