This paper presents the results of a screening study on power cycles integrated with a coal gasification plant. Three basic plant configurations are studied: (1) the Condensing Combined Cycle, the most common combined cycle, which includes combustion turbines, gas expanders and condensing steam turbines. This configuration should be considered as the base case: (2) the Single Cycle, which is comprised of combustion turbines and gas expanders, but no steam turbines (3) the Non-Condensing Combined Cycle, which utilizes combustion turbines, gas expanders and a non-condensing steam turbine. The gasifier used throughout is the Texaco entrained, coal slurry-fed, air blown gasification system along with a scrubber, sulfur removal system and a tail gas treater.
