OSTI ID:5937410

Westinghouse Advanced Energy Systems (WAES), through Contract No. AC22-87PC79668, has completed 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. The 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 Corporation, and Westinghouse R D. This report, a contract deliverable, documents the efforts of this team over a period of performance from October 1987 through April 1989.
