Performance of air-cooled power plants using gas from coal. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6514952
The thermal performance and water use of various power plants using coal gasification systems integrated with combustion turbines and under minimum water use conditions are determined. The gasifiers considered are the Texaco oxygen-blown gasifier, the British Gas Corporation oxygen-blown slagging gasifier, and the Combustion Engineering oxygen-blown and air-blown gasifiers. These gasifiers are each integrated with simple combustion turbine cycles, regenerative combustion turbine cycles and combined cycles. The performance of these dry-cooled integrated plants is compared to that of wet-cooled integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) systems and conventional coal-fired plants. Present technology components are used throughout all cycles.
