Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Engineering Test Facility (ETF) 200-MWe power plant: Conceptual design engineering report (CDER). Volume II. Engineering; Volume III. Costs and schedules

Technical Report · Tue Sep 01 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:5205706

This report summarizes the reference conceptual design of the MHD Engineering Test Facility (ETF), a prototype 200 MWe coal-fired electric generating plant designed to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of open cycle MHD. Main elements of the design are identified and explained, and the rationale behind them is reviewed. Major systems and plant facilities are listed and discussed. The report also presents construction cost and schedule estimates, and identifies the engineering issues that should be reexamined. This report integrates the latest (1980-1981) information from the MHD technology program with the elements of a conventional steam power electric generating plant. The engineering information (volume II) is presented, and volume III (costs and schedules) is included as microfiche.
