Summary

Accomplishments during the period January 1 through March 31, 1977 in the ''Evaluation of a Pressurized-Fluidized Bed Combustion (PFBC) Combined Cycle Power Plant Conceptual Design'' are reported. During this period, it was decided to concentrate all future work on the cycle containing PFB's exhausting to gas turbines followed by a steam cooled AFB fired boiler. This cycle offers greater power output and efficiency than one using a simple waste heat boiler and assumes that the AFB combustors will be available in the same time period as the PFB combustors. Design of the PFB and AFB combustors continues. Efforts continued on the development of layout and equipment arrangements. Heat transfer and stress analysis were initiated on the high temperature gas transport lines from the PFB's to the inlet to the gas turbine. Data on the mechanical equipment for the steam system were compiled. Work continued in the areas of civil/structural engineering, instrumentation and control, and electrical engineering. Trade-off studies continued to identify the range of parameters for a 600 MW(e) combined cycle power plant; e.g., pressure rates, engine configurations, cycle configurations, operating temperature, etc. Efforts were resumed on the development of an order of magnitude capital and operating cost estimate for a spent sorbent regeneration system sized for a 600 MW(e) PFB plant.
