The 70 MWe Tidd Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combined-cycle (PFBC) Demonstration Plant is a Round I US DOE Clean Coal Technology project constructed to demonstrate the viability of the PFBC combined cycle technology for efficient and environmentally sound coal based power generation. The knowledge and experience realized from this program is intended to assist in the commercial deployment of this technology to provide a viable option for future base load power generation needs, which are presently expected to develop early in the next decade. Consistent with the goals of the program, progress made during the first three years of operation of the facility has yielded a technology that is presently ready for commercial deployment. This paper presents an historic perspective on the Tidd una as well as recent operating experience and performance data in support of this claim.
