Moving-Bed Gasification-Combined-Cycle Control Study Volume 2:Results and Conclusions, Case 2- Oxygen-Blown, Slagging Ash Operation

摘要

A computer simulation study has been conducted to investigate the process dynamics and control strategies required for operation of an oxygen-blown, slagging, moving-bed gasifier combined cycle (GCC) power plant in a utility power system. The gasifier modeled is of the modified Lurgi type as developed by the British Gas Corporation. This study is a continuation of a study on moving-bed GCC control analysis. Work reported on previously (EPRI report AP-1740) was for an air-blown, dry-ash Lurgi GCC power plant and results are compared to this study.nThe simulated GCC plant configuration is similar to that developed in earlier EPRI economic studies (EPRI report AF-642). The computer model used in the air-blown, dry-ash GCC study was re-configured to represent the oxygen-blown slagging GCC cleanup process and a new gasifier model included. Gas turbine-lead and gasifier-lead control modes were evaluated with respect to power system dynamic requirements. The effect of gasifier output fluctuations, as observed in actual gasifier process development unit operation, was modeled and investigated.
