A two-step process is necessary to rapidly move Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion technology from the drawing board to the nation's electric supply systems. First is a major test program, which has been underway since 1982 in a 68 million, 20-megawatt pilot plant at TVA's Shawnee Steam Plant. The second step is a larger, utility-scale demonstration plant to verify the reliability, performance, and costs of the new technology. It too will be located at TVA's Shawnee Steam Plant. Ground was broken on September 13, 1985, and operational testing will begin in 1988. This timetable is expected to provide the electric utility industry with the option of selecting the AFBC technology for use in power plants scheduled for commercial operation in the mid-to-late 1990s.
