An IGCC cogeneration plant based on an entrained flow gasifier has an electric capacity Pel of 150 MWe and a thermal capacity Qu of 200 MWt. The plant overall efficiency (energy utilization factor [EUF]) ηCG is 0.89. The LHV of coal used in the gasifier is 29 MJ/kg. Efficiencies of power and useful heat production in two separate plants are ηel of 0.41 and ηheat of 0.88, respectively. Calculate: (i) the fuel requirements of the cogeneration plant and of the separate plants, and (ii) the fuel savings of the cogeneration plant per day

Question

An IGCC cogeneration plant based on an entrained flow gasifier has an electric capacity Pel of 150 MWe and a thermal capacity Qu of 200 MWt. The plant overall efficiency (energy utilization factor [EUF]) ηCG is 0.89.

The LHV of coal used in the gasifier is 29 MJ/kg. Efficiencies of power and useful heat production in two separate plants are ηel of 0.41 and ηheat of 0.88, respectively.

Calculate:

(i) the fuel requirements of the cogeneration plant and of the separate plants, and

(ii) the fuel savings of the cogeneration plant per day.
