Economic Comparison of Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells and Gas Turbines in Coal Gasification-Based Power Plants. Final Report

摘要

The results of screening-type process evaluations for heat intergration of coal gasification processes with two alternate advanced combined-cycle power generation systems are presented. One system was composed of a molten carbonate fuel cell prime cycle and a steam bottoming cycle. The second system contained a 2600 exp 0 F gas turbine prime cycle and a steam bottoming cycle. The three coal gasification processes utilized included the oxygen-blown Texaco entrained gasifier, the air-blown Texaco entrained gasifier, and the British Gas Corporation slagging gasifier.
