Conceptual design of a coal-fired MHD retrofit plant
Westinghouse Advanced Energy Systems (WAES), through Contract No. DE-AC22-87PC79668 funded by US DOE/PETC, is conducting a conceptual design study to evaluate a coal fired MHD retrofit of a utility plant of sufficient size to demonstrate the technical and future economic viability of an MHD system operating within an electric utility environment. The utility plant considered in this study is the Scholz Generating Station which is owned and operated by Gulf Power Company, a member of the Southern Company. In the earlier tasks of this study, the Westinghouse design team was comprised of the following members: Southern Electric International (the architectural engineering arm of the Southern Company), University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI), Seitec, Inc., HMJ Corporation, STD Research Corp, and the Westinghouse Science Center. A previous contract deliverable report documented the efforts of this team over the period of performance from October 1987 through April 1989. The objective of this project is to prepare a site-specific conceptual design of a coal-fired magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system for retrofit to the Scholz Generating Station, Sneads, Florida.
