The Cope startup: Methods to increase efficiency
Cope Unit 1 is a coal-fired electric generating facility with a minimum net electric generating capacity of 385 MW. The plant is located in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, near the town of Cope, and is owned by the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. Duke/Fluor Daniel is responsible for environmental permitting, engineering, procurement, construction and start-up. The facility includes an ABB-CE tangentially-fired furnace designed for pulverized coal and natural gas firing, a General Electric turbine-generator, ABB/ES dry scrubber and baghouse, and a Foxboro I/A Distributed Control System. At the time of this writing (9/17/95) Construction is about 92% complete and Start-Up is 82% complete. We are blowing the main steam lines at this time. While contractually required to achieve continuous operation by May of `96, we are currently ahead of schedule and plan to be in performance testing during December of `95.
