Primary heater module, Phase II. Volume V. Final report, February 1980-November 1983
Research was conducted on components and subassemblies of coal-fired heaters suitable to supply the heat input to closed-cycle gas turbine-based cogeneration systems of 25 to 50 MWe electrical output. Three concepts are researched. The program results indicate that each of the three heater concepts is technically feasible. The fluidized bed concepts are judged most likely to be both technically and commercially feasible. Their continued development is recommended. Vol. 5 consists of Appendix A, which consists of 44 engineering drawings and Appendix B. Appendix B provides a discussion of CCGT-based cogeneration cycle performance. Comparisons are made with OCGT and stream turbine-based cogeneration. The thermodynamic efficiency effects and the effects on the fired heater of variations in cycle operating parameters are discussed. These considerations underlie the conceptual commercial design concepts which, in turn, were used as the basis for identifying the technical issues researched in the AC21-80-ET15020 program. A subsection presents comparisons of steam turbine-based, open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT), and closed-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) based cogeneration systems and discusses the power to heat load ranges and profiles most economically served by each of the three systems. Controllability and operability of each system in conjunction with an AFB combustor also are discussed.
