IGCC demonstration plant at Nakoso Power Station, Iwaki City, Japan

摘要

Integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power plants are not yet standard designs. Although they use mature coal gasification processes and combustion turbines, disparate technologies and equipment still require custom, laborious interfacing at each site. Every major gas turbine vendor now can point to one or more power-producing IGCC projects based on its prime mover, but none yet offers a "reference" plant that has standardized the interfacing enough to justify confidence in two key metrics; $/kW and availability, With an air-blown demonstration plant based on one of its 130-MW turbines, Mitsubishi Heavy industries is looking to change the rules of this game.
