High Efficiency Electric Power Generation; The Environmental Role
نویسنده
چکیده
Electric power generation system development is reviewed with special attention to plant efficiency. While higher efficiency is well understood to be economically beneficial because of fuel savings, its effect upon reduction of all plant emissions without installation of additional environmental equipment, is less well appreciated. As CO2 emission control is gaining increasing acceptance,efficiency improvement, as the only practical tool capable of reducing CO2 emission from fossil fuel plant in the short term, has become a key concept for the choice of technology for new plant and upgrades of existing plant. Efficiency is also important for longer term solutions of reducing CO2 emission by carbon capture and sequestration (CCS); it is essential for the underlying plants to be highly efficient so as to mitigate the energy penalty of CCS technology application. Power generating options,including coal fired Rankine cycle steam plants with advanced steam parameters , natural gas fired Gas Turbine-Steam, and Coal Gasification Combined Cycle plants are discussed and compared for their efficiency, cost and operational availability. Special attention is paid to the timeline of the various technologies for their development, demonstration and commercial availability for deployment.
