Abstract

The difficulties encountered in past and present efforts to operate direct coal-fired gas turbines are substantial. Hence the development effort required to assure a reliable, high-temperature pressurized fluidized bed (PFBC) combined cycle may be very expensive and time consuming. It is, therefore, important that the benefit of achieving high-temperature operation, which is primarily increased efficiency, be clearly understood at the outset of such a development program. This study characterizes the effects of PFBC temperature and pressure on plant efficiency over a wide range of values.
