The paper describes the work by the ABB team on the US Department of Energy (DOE) project Engineering Development of Advanced Coal-Fired Low-Emission Boiler Systems (LEBS) which is part of the DOE`s Combustion 2000 Program. The objectives of the LEBS Project are to dramatically improve environmental performance of future pulverized coal-fired power plants, to increase their efficiency and to reduce the cost of electricity using near-term technologies, i.e., advanced technologies that are partially developed. The overall objective is to expedite commercialization of the technologies that are developed under LEBS. A major deliverable of the Project is the design of a large, in this case 400 MWe, commercial generating unit (CGU). The design being developed by the ABB team is projected to meet all the Project objectives, i.e., to reduce emissions of NO{sub x}, SO{sub 2} and particulates to one-third to one-sixth NSPS limits while increasing net station efficiency significantly and reducing the cost of electricity. With the use of a Kalina cycle the net plant efficiency will be 45% (HHV) or higher. This design and future work are described in the paper.
