According to FPRI studies, new combustion-turbine-based power plant cycles that do not include a steam cycle but that use humidified air could offer utilities significant cost savings and lead to plants with very flexible dispatch capabilities. Innovative cycles combining air humidification, coal gasification, and compressed-air energy storage are being explored. Current research is focusing on turbomachinery for these cycles and on optimal cycle configurations. The results will point the way for EPRI's future development efforts on humidified cycles. 2 figs.
