OSTI ID:5086265

This report presents current status information on the Cool Water Coal Gasification Program, a private industry jointly funded effort to design, build, and operate a 100 MW coal-based power plant to demonstrate new integrated gasification combied cycle (IGCC) technology at a commercial scale. Background on the project is provided and the organizational structure is discussed. Planned facilities are described quite extensively, and a number of relevant drawings are included. Design issues are identified and plant operating and control requirements are addressed. The expected plant performance is indicated for normal and special test conditions. The project cost estimate and present funding support are briefly summarized. The progress of the engineering work and the overall project status are reported. The regulatory process and permit history are reviewed. Plans regarding plant testing, as currently defined, are also discussed. As the Cool Water effort proceeds, EPRI intends to publish annual reports updating the project progress.
