Title: Screening evaluation of electric power cycles integrated with coal gasification plants
Abstract: The paper presents the results of an investigation of potentially lower cost alternatives to present concepts for integrated gasification combined cycle power plants. The study aimed to determine if a gasification system integrated with a reduced cost power plant could provide an attractive thermal efficiency. The cost reduction was achieved by removing the steam-bottoming system from a combined cycle so that only the gas turbine remained. The cycle efficiencies were determined for this non-bottomed cycle and several steam-bottom systems, using current and advanced gas turbines. Based on these performances, an economic overview was made comparing the capital cost and efficiency differences of competing systems.
