Conference proceedings: Application of fluidized-bed combustion for power generation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6764831
This conference was organized to review the progress made in the application of coal-fired atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed combustion for utility applications. The number of AFBC power plants is increasing rapidly as is their generating capacity. Maximum plant capacities are currently around 160 Mwe, but units as large as 340 MWe are under construction. In conjunction with this growth, the reliability and availability of the plants has improved to the extent that AFBC technology is now considered commercial. Bubbling PFBC plants are being demonstrated and achieving good environmental and operating performance. EPRI-sponsored economic studies show this to be a very attractive technology. Under development at the pilot plant scale are circulating and advanced PFBC concepts, both of which have the potential to improve upon the performance of the bubbling version. The major topics presented at the conference included the following: AFBC utility application projects and vendor designs; AFBC fuel flexibility and co-firing of coal and waste fuels; environmental aspects of FBC technology; bubbling PFBC demonstration program results; and circulating and advanced PFBC development programs. Individual papers have been entered separately.
