This is the 24th Technical Progress Report submitted in connection with the cooperative agreement between the DOE and the Ohio Power Company for the Tidd Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion (PFBC) Demonstration Plant. This report covers the period from January 1, 1993 to March 31, 1993. The following activities are reported: The unit was operated for a total of 331 hours (including gas turbine air prewarming). There were three gas turbine starts, five bed preheater starts, and two operating periods with coal fire. The peak gross output of 61 MWH was achieved for the period of 2200 to 2300 hours on January 20, 1993. The longest coal fire was 273 hours beginning at 0605 hours on January 20, 1993; total gross generation was 13,453 MWH, and coal consumption was 6,481 tons; The sorbent fines injection system was installed and is ready for use; A totally new secondary ash removal system was designed; New sparge ducts are being fabricated to replace the existing ducts; The plant was found to be in compliance with applicable Ohio regulation after an EPA inspection; and The unit has been out of service since early February due to the failure of the gas turbine. Replacement parts are being fabricated
