Summary
Five variant configurations of a coal-burning open-cycle magnetohydrodynamic electric power generating facility were studied for evaluation as candidate first-generation power plants. A material and energy balance and cycle analysis was performed for each case to provide information for the conceptual designs and costing of all major MHD-related components and subsystems as well as specification of other state-of-the-art components. An economic comparison was made of each design by developing the cost-of-electricity based on component costs, estimates of operation and maintenance requirements and the performance of each plant from the system analyses. An overall description of each plant is provided along with discussions of critical component and process development. An oxygen-enriched OCMHD plant design was identified as an attractive candidate for first-generation utility service. This plant design appears to offer competitive costs of electricity and minimizes development risk.
