The principal issues in modeling atmospheric fluidized bed combustors (AFBC) are described using the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) - Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) steady state AFBC model as an example. Comparisons are made between model predictions of boiler performance with experimental data from the TVA 20 MW(e) AFBC pilot plant data. Recent FBC models are briefly reviewed and compared with the ORNL-TVA model. The paper also describes the ongoing effort at TVA on transient modeling of AFBC and presents some preliminary results from the TVA AFBC transient model.
