Conference

OSTI ID:54757
Repowering of existing fossil fired steam generation is an attractive alternative for utilities today. The repowered plant optimizes the re-use of the existing steam turbine generator and auxiliary assets along with the installation of clean, modern, efficient combustion turbine generators. The conversion results in a plant which compares favorably on a performance basis with a totally new {open_quotes}greenfield{close_quotes} plant, but is lower in capital cost. In addition, repowering makes prudent use of existing utility sites, infrastructure, and experience to provide the lowest cost energy for the end customer.
