Repowering options study: Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5434434
Results of a scoping study in which natural-gas-fueled combustion turbines are utilized to repower existing oil-fired/gas-fired steam turbine generating units are presented. A representative range of unit sizes, 80 to 800 MW, was investigated. Depending on the unit and repowering configuration, repowering resulted in calculated heat rate reductions of 7% to 18% and calculated increased unit outputs of 28% to 165%. The estimated installed costs per kW of added new generating capacity ranged from $363/kW to $589/kW, again depending on the unit and repowering configuration. Design considerations for various repowering configurations are also presented. 23 figs., 21 tabs.
