The Westinghouse coal gasification process and its application to combined cycle plants for electric utility use is presented. The process permits the conversion of coal in an efficient, economical and environmentally acceptable manner, to low-or medium-Btu gas for utility and industrial use. Basically, the combined cycle plant design incorporates an air-blown, fluidized bed gasification system, a combustion turbine system and a steam turbine system for the production of electricity for industrial and residential use. Based on a study performed by Westinghouse for the Department of Energy, five different coal gasification combined cycle (GGCC) plant configurations were analyzed to develop overall coal-to-electricity efficiencies and economics and to compare these results with the well-known efficiency characteristics and economic parameters of modern coal-fired steam plants with flue gas desulfurization scrubbers (conventional coal plants). All of the CGCC configurations are projected to have a competitive efficiency and an economic advantage over conventional coal plants. 8 refs.
