Direct Coal Combustion Support Task. Annual Report for Calendar Year 1981

摘要

This report documents work performed for DOE by JPL in support of Fossil Energy Program planning activities. The work focused on advanced direct coal combustion systems for power generation. Systems selected for study this year were atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC), pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC), and integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) systems. Results presented here cover: (1) system comparisons among these technologies, along with advanced versions of conventional pulverized coal-fired (PCF) systems, taking into account performance, cost, environmental and resource utilization factors; and (2) identification and analysis of barriers to implementation of advanced direct combustion technologies.
