  • Abstract
    At present, most utilities must generate power to serve their load plus desired interchange while meeting sulfur dioxide emission constraints. There are several methods of meeting the sulfur dioxide requirements. The most cost effective method in most of the midwest is to blend high and low sulfur coal to meet sulfur dioxide constraints.
