Since 1993 besides domestic coals ecologically more acceptable imported coals are used for fuel in some of Slovene power plants. Since the boilers were not built for burning these coals tests for determining their adequacy need to be conducted prior to making a decision for long term use of the coal. This kind of tests and some more important criteria used for estimating the adequacy of the alternative coal are stated in the paper. With the exception of the above criteria, economic criteria must also be met.

COBISS.SI-ID: 10680859The paper presents a combined neural network configuration for sensor validation consisting of three different artificial neural network (ANN) models. The first model is configured for classification purposes the second model is based on an auto associative neural network (AANN)and the third for regression. The use of the three different ANN structures makes it possible to detect and isolate both low and high sensor drift and provide an accurate recovered value for a failing sensor. The methods were tested on a stationary single shaft gas turbine and a steam power plant, with good result.
