Tidd PFBC demonstration project. Quarterly report, October--December 1993
This is the 27th Technical Progress Report submitted to the Department of Energy in connection with the Cooperative Agreement between the DOE and the Ohio Power Company for the Tidd PFBC Demonstration Plant. This report covers the period from October 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. Major activities during this period involve: (1) The unit operated for 720 hours on coal. (2) There were five gas turbine starts, five bed preheater starts, and three operating periods on coal fire. (3) During the quarter, total gross generation was 36,672 MWH, the peak unit output for one hour was 64 MWH, and the coal consumption was 17,251 tons. (4) Six performance tests were run during this quarter. (5) The unit was tested with four sorbent feed points. (6) The gas turbine low pressure compressor was disassembled to repair cracks in the stationary guide vanes; and (7) a request was sent to the DOE requesting funding for an additional year of operation. Major items planned for the next period include: (a) Continuation of sorbent utilization tests at various bed levels and sulfur retention values and with different coals and adsorbents; and (b) operation at full load.
