Analysis of advanced coal-based technologies: influence of selected cost and performance uncertainties

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5324523
;
This study is one of a series that analyzes selected cost and performance parameters of advanced coal-based technologies. Three technologies (gasification combined-cycle, pressurized fluidized-bed combustion and conventional with flue gas desulfurization) are evaluated in the framework of an electric utility system, assuming an economic loading order of the units in the system. To see how system generation mix affects the relative intertechnology comparisons, two separate utility systems are examined, one with significant coal-fired capacity and the other with significant oil-fired capacity. Parametric studies are performed for each technology within the context of each utility system to identify the relative importance of uncertainties associated with various cost and performance parameters. The combined effects of these uncertainties are estimated using probabilistic methods.
