This is the 22nd 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 July 1, 1992 to September 30, 1992. The unit was operated for a total of 903 hours (including gas turbine air prewarming). There were 9 gas turbine starts, 11 preheating starts, and 8 operating periods with coal fire. The peak gross output of 59 MWH was achieved for the period of 1600 to 1700 hours on September 23, 1992. The longest coal fire was 422 hourb beginning at 1349 hours on August 9, 1992. Total gross generation was 32,418 MWH, and coal consumption was 15,846 tons. Testing was completed on the gas turbine blade resonance frequency problem. The report showed that a resonant frequency problem existing at high LPT speeds and at a mostly closed guide vane position. An operating curve was developed by ABBC to avoid the points of blade resonance. Monitoring of solid, liquid and gaseous waste streams, as detailed in the operations phase monitoring requirements in the EMP, were performed throughout the quarter.
