Energetic analysis and optimisation of an integrated coal gasification-combined cycle power plant

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Power Plants

Thermodynamic modeling and comprehensive off-design performance analysis of a real integrated solar combined cycle power plant

In this paper thermodynamic modeling and comprehensive performance analysis of a real integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) power plant are performed. Performance of the plant cycle is assessed in off-design condition and in two operation modes of power-boosting and fuel-saving. Such an approach has not been considered for an ISCC plant in the previous studies. Under studied ISCC which is loca...

Tampa Electric Integrated Gasification Combined - Cycle Project

Executive Summary The Clean Coal Technology (CCT) Demonstration Program is a government and industry co-funded effort to demonstrate a new generation of innovative coal utilization processes in a series of " show-case " facilities built across the country. These projects are carried out on a sufficiently large scale to prove technical feasibility and provide the information required for additio...

Valuation of Energy Investments as Real Options: The case of an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Power Plant

In this paper we analyze the valuation of options stemming from the flexibility in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Power Plant. First we use as a base case the opportunity to invest in a Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) Power Plant, deriving the optimal investment rule as a function of fuel prices and the remaining life of the right to invest. Additionally, the analytical solu...

Performance analysis of integrated biomass gasification fuel cell (BGFC) and biomass gasification combined cycle (BGCC) systems

Biomass gasification processes are more commonly integrated to gas turbine based combined heat and power (CHP) generation systems. However, efficiency can be greatly enhanced by the use of more advanced power generation technology such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The key objective of this work is to develop systematic site-wide process integration strategies, based on detailed process sim...
