This report presents a systems design description for a combined cycle based on a High Temperature Turbine Technology, 2600/sup 0/F combustion turbine operating with a coal-derived low-Btu fuel gas. The overall plant design is based on Westinghouse combined cycle PACE experience and achieves a calculated heat rate of 8,336 Btu/KwHr at a power output of 925 megawatts. The power generating system consists of four combustion gas turbines and one 2400 psig/1000/sup 0/F reheat steam turbine. Each gas turbine train includes an unfired heat recovery steam generator, an on-site gasification system and a cold gas cleanup system. The information presented supplements the Overall Plant Design Description and further defines power generating and gasification components and auxiliaries, balance of plant systems and plant control concepts to the extent necessary to establish the technical feasibility of incorporating this high temperature combined cycle and gasification process into an operating plant system. A preliminary reliability assessment of the plant in the form of Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analyses and plant availability is included, together with a plan for evaluating the plant maintainability. Site and plant layouts establish the size and the physical relationship between major systems.
