The goals of the program are to develop a coal-fired high performance power generation system (HIPPS) by the year 2000 that is capable of (1) > 47% thermal efficiency; (2) NO{sub x}, SO{sub x} and particulates {<=} 25% NSPS; (3) cost {>=} 65 %of heat input; (4) all solid wastes benign In order to achieve these goals, our team has outlined a research plan based on an optimized analysis of a 310 MWe combined cycle system applicable to both frame type and aeroderivative gas turbines. Under the constraints of the cycle analysis we have designed a high temperature advanced furnace (HITAF) which integrates several combustor and air heater designs with appropriate ash management procedures. The preliminary commercial generating plant design is presented in detail in this report. For consistency, the procedures for developing the capital and operating costs of this plant are all based on the 1993 EPRI TAG guidelines. The presentation of the design includes operating and maintenance characteristics for startup and shutdown, parts load operation and related uncertainties. Fallback strategies and repowering applications are also presented.
