Zusammenfassung: | Coal-fired generating units provide approximately 46 percent of the electricity generated in the United States, yet most of the existing coalfired electricity-generating fleet is 25-45 years old. Deploying new coal-fired electricity-generating units (EGUs) and maintenance of the existing fleet requires an industrial capacity to provide equipment, skilled labor, and project management expertise. However, in the near term, the domestic industrial base to provide the capacity for future coal-based EGUs faces several challenges. These include low demand for new conventional and advanced coal units in the next several years, regulatory uncertainty regarding emission standards for conventional pollutants and greenhouse gases, competition from other electricity-generation fuels, and an aging workforce. To better understand these challenges, NETL asked RAND to describe the current state of the domestic industrial base for coal-based electricity generation. RAND was asked to focus on coal-fired EGU design and construction, technology development, and equipment manufacturing. This monograph addresses the concern about whether the industrial base for the U.S. domestic coal-based electricity-generation industry can maintain the capability to design, construct, operate, and maintain coal-fired EGUs within reasonable cost, schedule, performance, environmental, and quality expectations. By first describing the capability that is inherent in the existing coal-fired fleet, this monograph takes a first step toward addressing the larger policy questions of how to develop, deploy, and maintain an advanced, lowcarbon electricity-generation industry capability into the future. |

States, yet most of the existing coalfired electricity-generating fleet is 25-45 years old. Deploying new coal-fired electricity-generating units (EGUs) and maintenance of the existing fleet requires an industrial capacity to provide equipment, skilled labor, and project management expertise. However, in the near term, the domestic industrial base to provide the capacity for future coal-based EGUs faces several challenges. These include low demand for new conventional and advanced coal units in the next several years, regulatory uncertainty regarding emission standards for conventional pollutants and greenhouse gases, competition from other electricity-generation fuels, and an aging workforce. To better understand these challenges, NETL asked RAND to describe the current state of the domestic industrial base for coal-based electricity generation. RAND was asked to focus on coal-fired EGU design and construction, technology development, and equipment manufacturing. This monograph addresses the concern about whether the industrial base for the U.S. domestic coal-based electricity-generation industry can maintain the capability to design, construct, operate, and maintain coal-fired EGUs within reasonable cost, schedule, performance, environmental, and quality expectations. By first describing the capability that is inherent in the existing coal-fired fleet, this monograph takes a first step toward addressing the larger policy questions of how to develop, deploy, and maintain an advanced, lowcarbon electricity-generation industry capability into the future.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="500" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Title from PDF cover screen (viewed on Nov. 4, 2011).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Coal-fired power plants</subfield><subfield code="z">United States.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Electric power production</subfield><subfield code="z">United States.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Energy development</subfield><subfield code="z">United States.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Centrales au charbon</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Électricité</subfield><subfield code="x">Production</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Énergie</subfield><subfield code="x">Développement</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING</subfield><subfield code="x">Power Resources</subfield><subfield code="x">Electrical.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Energy.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Coal-fired power plants</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Electric power production</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Energy development</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">United States</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Samaras, Constantine.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011175373</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="710" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Rand Environment, Energy, and Economic Development (Program)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2008013118</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="710" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">National Energy Technology Laboratory (U.S.)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00008417</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="t">Books at JSTOR: Open Access</subfield><subfield code="d">JSTOR</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Samaras, Constantine.</subfield><subfield code="t">Characterizing the U.S. industrial base for coal-powered electricity.</subfield><subfield code="d">Santa Monica, Calif. : RAND Corp., 2011</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2011940667</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Rand Corporation monograph series ;</subfield><subfield code="v">MG1147.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2008057654</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=608710</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Brodart</subfield><subfield code="b">BROD</subfield><subfield code="n">13662457</subfield><subfield code="c">$29.50</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Baker and Taylor</subfield><subfield code="b">BTCP</subfield><subfield code="n">BK0010255635</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBL -
