    The Turow Power Plant (447.5MW (Net), 262bar(a)/597°C/609°C) in Poland is currently under construction, with the start of commercial operation scheduled for April 2020. The plant is targeting the world's highest level of efficiency for a lignite-fired power plant. Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) provides high-efficiency lignite-fired plant by applying its own lignite-fired tower boiler technology, lignite mill burner technology, ultra-supercritical (USC) technology and boiler flue gas heat recovery system. This report introduces the high-efficiency USC lignite firing technology applied to the Turow Power Plant.
