The metadata subpage is missing. You can start it via filling in this form or by following the instructions that come up after clicking on the [show] link to the right.

Do you see this on PREVIEW? then SAVE! before following a link. To find out more about the use of metadata for the management of Citizendium pages, see CZ:Metadata.

Either: A - New page has been created, or subpages template was added to an existing page B - Cluster move is in progress Click either the A or B link for further instructions. [Feel free to recommend improvements to the text or links in this template] A - For a New Cluster use the following directions Subpages format requires a metadata page. Using the following instructions will complete the process of creating this article's subpages. Click the blue "metadata template" link below to create the page. On the edit page that appears paste in the article's title across from "pagename =". You might also fill out the checklist part of the form. Ignore the rest. For background, see Using the Subpages template Don't worry--you'll get the hang of it right away. Remember to hit Save! the "metadata template". However, you can create articles without subpages.

They can be classified into the following types:

• Conventional coal-fired power plant [r]: power plant that burns coal in a steam generator to produce high pressure steam, which goes to steam turbines that generate electricity. ^[e]
• Integrated gasification combined cycle power plant [r]: a.k.a. IGCC; uses coal to produce a synthetic gas that is burned to drive an electrical generator, while produced steam is used to drive another generator. See the Integrated gasification combined cycle article on Wikipedia. ^[e]
• Fluidized bed combustion power plant [r]: burns coal in a fluidized bed; steam produced as a by-product also drives an electrical generator; see the Fluidized bed combustion article on Wikipedia ^[e]
• Oxygen firing power plant [r]: a.k.a. Oxy firing plant, works like a conventional coal-fired power plant but uses oxygen instead of air to burn the coal; see the Oxy-fuel combustion process article on Wikipedia ^[e]
