As the power industry moves toward increased competition, low operating costs become increasingly important for continued profitability. This paper provides an overview of the plant concept evaluation of using an emerging coal-fired technology for repowering one of Duke Energy steam generating stations. The paper describes the results of a US Department of Energy (DOE) conceptual design evaluation of an early commercial repowering application of advanced circulating pressurized fluidized bed combustion combined cycle technology (APFBC). The paper provides a review of the DOE study and summarizes the preliminary results. It shows the prospects for APFBC repowering, and discusses how this might be an attractive option for a wide range of existing power plants, when added baseload coal-fired generation is needed. This paper presents an APFBC concept under development by DOE and equipment manufacturers. This all-coal technology has projected energy efficiency in the 42 to 46% HHV (43 to 48% LHV) range and environmental emissions superior to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). A DOE-sponsored Clean Coal Technology (CCT) demonstration program will pioneer the first commercial APFBC demonstration in year 2001. That 170 MWe APFBC CCT demonstration will use all new equipment, and become the City of Lakeland's C.D. McIntosh, Jr. steam plant Unit 4. This paper's concept evaluation is for a larger implementation. A Westinghouse W501F combustion turbine modified for APFBC operation is considered for use to produce a 300+MWe class APFBC combined cycle. At this size, APFBC has a wide application for repowering many existing units in America, Here, APFBC would repower an existing generation station, the Duke Energy Company's Dan River steam station. Repowering concepts are presented for APFBC repowering of Unit 3. The existing coal-fired Unit 3 has an output of about 150 MWe. When repowered with APFBC, this unit is boosted to about 280 MWe output, with high-energy efficiency.
