Design considerations for the demonstration of an integrated coal-gasification combined-cycle power plant
Integrated coal-gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power plants offer a high-efficiency potential and low environmental impact. A successful demonstration of IGCC is important if it is to be ready for commercial application in this decade. This article describes design features of an integrated single-module IGCC demonstration power plant incorporating a Texaco gasification system with a General Electric combined-cycle plant. The plant concepts incorporates a single GE MS7001E gas turbine with an unfired heat recovery steam generator and a steam turbine. The article reviews design requirements, anticipated performance, plant integration characteristics, operational requirements, and anticipated environmental performance. 2 references, 3 figures, 3 tables.
