Combined Cycle Users' Group completes another successful year
Presentations at the third annual meeting of the Combined Cycle Users' Group (CCUG) touched on a wide variety of topics. Among the more eclectic was repowering combined-cycle plants to burn gasified coal. Among the more mundane were selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system maintenance, the effects of cycling heat-recovery steam generators (HRSGs), staff training, and adopting best practices in O & M. Judging from the lively discussions and questions following the presentations, it was clear that operating a power plant is still as much art as science. Dr. S. Sato, senior engineering advisor for Mitsubishi Power Systems, highlighted the development history and aggressive R & D work under way to bring the company's integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) plant to market. 1 tab., 5 photos.
