Four utility fluidized-bed combustion projects approach demonstration status
Fluidized bed combustors (FBCs) are being considered as viable options in an increasing number of applications where new power plant capacity is required and for schemes to extend the lives of existing power plants by retrofitting. Four large demonstration projects have been organized to allow evaluation of variations of this technology on a scale where essentially full-size components are employed. These four projects are: a 125 MW(e) atmospheric pressure fluidized-bed combustor retrofitted to Unit 2 of the Black Dog Station of Northern States Power Company near St. Paul, Minnesota; a 110 MW(e) circulating fluidized bed combustor at the Nucla Station of the Colorado Ute Electric Association, Inc. at Nucla, Colorado; a 160 MW(e) at the Shawnee Station of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) at Paducah, Kentucky; and a 70 MW(e) pressurized fluidized-bed combustor at the Tidd Station of the Ohio Power Company (of AEP) at Brilliant, Ohio. The design, fuel, and schedule for each project are described. 10 references.
