Abstract

A plant for producing power from solid fossil fuels, more particularly bituminous coal, is made up of at least one boiler in which the solid fuels are burned. The plant furthermore has a steam turbine and a gas turbine for producing power from the gas, the gases being cleaned of dust and sulfur before running into the gas turbine. The boiler of the plant is a pressure-fired boiler in which firing takes place in the dry condition, that is without melting of ash.
