High-temperature turbine-technology program. Phase I. Program and system definition. Topical report: coal-liquid combined-cycle reference design

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5972010
This report presents a systems-design description for a combined-cycle electric-power plant based on a High Temperature Turbine Technology 2600/sup 0/F inlet temperature combustion turbine operating with coal-derived liquid fuel. The Overall Plant Design is based on Westinghouse combined-cycle PACE experience and achieves a calculated heat rate of 6966 Btu/kWh at a power output of 383 megawatts. The plant incorporates two (2) combustion turbines and a steam turbine at 1800 psig-1000/sup 0/F to 1000/sup 0/F, in a combined cycle suitable for base or intermediate load application. The plant has both reheat and intermediate-pressure steam generation with the intermediate pressure steam induced into the cold reheat line for superheating prior to entering the intermediate pressure section of the steam turbine. The information presented in this report supplements the Overall Plant Design Description including additional material on cycle and plant configuration selection, site plan, and the control system. In addition, a section is included which presents the performance levels achieved by current operating combined-cycle systems of similar design.
