SRC-II DEMONSTRATION PROJECT PHASE ZERO TASK NUMBER 3 DELIVERABLE NUMBER 9 VOL. 3 OF 9 MARKET ASSESSMENT UTILIZATION IN ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY-SUPPORTING RESULTS

摘要

These studies, made with the involvement of Consolidated Edison of New York, Baltimore Gas and Electric, Boston Edison Company, and Florida Power Corporation, indicate SRC-II fuel oil could be a significant and economically competitive fuel for electric power generation 1n the populous east coast region of the United States. These studies included a range of applications:replacing oil in existing oil-fired boilers, fueling new oil-fired boilers, new combined cycle combustion turbines at today's level of technology, and new advanced combined cycle combustion turbines at forecasted levels of technology.nIn all cases, using the projected estimate of SRC-II fuel oil costs, SRC-II fuel oil was Indicated as a viable alternative when compared to other means of coal utilization, which includes boilers with flue gas desulfurization (FGO) with on-site or off-site sludge disposal and coal gasification Integrated with advanced combined cycle combustion turbines.
