Abstract: In this study, an exergy-based system level methodology is conducted to assess the energy penalty reduction potential of different configurations of first generation oxy-fired pulverized coal power plants. Once the process improvement potential is identified by exergy analysis on an oxy-fired plant with minimal integration, a heat integration methodology minimizing the exergy losses is carried out. Exergy analysis is employed as a guideline weighted by technological and operational constraints.
