Nowadays the world and Russian energy sector seeks to reduce the use of coal for electricity production, however, in the future its significant part will remain in the fuel balance. Due to environmental and economic factors, coal generation has to use technologies to reduce polluting emissions and including also CO 2 (HELE technologies) for maintain competitiveness. One of these technologies is the use of a coal for A-USC steam parameters steam turbine cycle. This paper describes the studies conducted to develop the optimal scheme for burning solid fuel in an A-USC M-shaped boiler invert furnace proposed by the Dept. of Thermal Power Plants of the National Research University “Moscow Power Engineering Institute”. Six schemes with a different arrangement of direct-flow burners and nozzles are considered. A test installation for isothermal physical modeling was made for scheme No.1. The results of physical modeling were compared with the results of the numerical simulation model of the test installation. Schemes No. 1-6 were investigated using numerical simulation in the ANSYS software package to identify the best conditions for the organization of staged fuel combustion at low emissions of nitrogen oxides. Scheme 6 is recognized as the most optimal and will be used to create an isothermal physical test installation and conduct numerical simulations of the combustion process for a full-scale furnace model.
