Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) process simulation and optimization

Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) process simulation and optimization

The integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is an electrical power generation system which offers efficient generation from coal with lower effect on the environment than conventional coal power plants. However, further improvement of its efficiency and thereby lowering emissions are important tasks to achieve a more sustainable energy production. In this paper, a process simulation tool ...

Process Simulation of an Integrated Coke Dry Quenching Combined Gasification

In this paper, an integrated coke dry quenching combined gasification system using coke oven gas and steam to quench the incandescent coke is proposed. The distinct advantages of the system include energy conservation, pollution reduction, coke quality improvement and full use of resources. Based on the minimization of the Gibbs free energy, the flow rate and composition of the syngas are predi...

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...

The IGCC Process: From Coal To Clean Electric Power Outlook on Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Technology Testimony of Edward Lowe Gas Turbine-Combined Cycle Product Line Manager General Electric Power Systems

I am pleased to be here today to share with you our views about the benefits that Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology can deliver. IGCC can cost effectively produce power from solid fuels, such as coal, with substantial environmental benefits over other coal power generation technologies. If IGCC is adopted as the preferred coal based power generation technology, it will he...
