By October 1998, the number of accumulated operating hours in PFBC plants based on ABB's PFBC technology had exceeded 102,000 hours. The experience from operation in Vaertan, Escatron and Wakamatsu continues to provide positive and interesting results, and thus serve as a good basis for further development of the technology. Construction of the Cottbus second generation PFBC plant has proceeded well. Trial operation will begin during the spring and commercial operation will begin during the summer of 1999. Construction of the world's first P800 plant, the Karita plant in Japan, is also nearing completion, and first fire is scheduled for May 1999. Orders for other PFBC projects are presently being negotiated. This includes projects in China and other parts of Asia, as well as in Europe and the US, based on a wide range of fuels. Most of those projects are based on the use of multiple P200 units. This allows for a wide output range, in steps of 100 MWe up to 600 MWe or more. Technical as well as economic benefits result from the learning curve experiences for existing plants.
