Comprehensive report to Congress: Clean Coal Technology Program: Arvah B. Hopkins circulating fluidized-bed repowering project: A project proposed by: The City of Tallahassee
The project involves the repowering of a 250-megawatt electrical (MWe) natural gas- or oil-fired boiler with a coal-fired atmospheric circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) boiler to provide steam to an existing turbine generator. The boiler will be the largest of its type. After construction and shakedown, the City of Tallahassee (CoT) plant will be operated for 24 months with at least three different eastern coals. Final coal selection will be based on the Fuels Selection Study, which is part of Phase I-A of the project. Cost, financial, and technical data from the CoT CFB will be provided the utility industry for evaluation of a 250-MWe CFB as a commercially viable clean coal alternative. The objective of the Arvah B. Hopkins CFB Repowering Project is to demonstrate an efficient, economical, and environmentally superior method of generating electric power from coal. The work to be performed under the Cooperative Agreement includes the design, construction, and operation of the demonstration plant. 4 figs.
