 Coal to electricity: Integrated gasification combined cycleJ.C. Corman Applied Energy, 1982, vol. 10, issue 4, 243-259 Abstract: An advanced energy conversion system--the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC)--has been identified as an efficient and economical means of converting coal to electricity for utility application. Several demonstration projects on a near-commercial scale are approaching the construction stage. A coal conversion facility has been constructed to simulate the operational features of an IGCC. This process evaluation facility (PEF-scale) performs a dual function: (1) acquiring and processing data on the performance of the individual components--coal gasifier, gas clean up, and turbine simulator--that comprise the IGCC concept and (2) simulating the total system in an operational control mode that permits evaluation of system response to imposed load variations characteristic of utility operation. The results to date indicate that an efficient, economical IGCC can be designed so that the gasification/gas clean up plant and the power generation system operate compatibly to meet utility requirements in an environmentally acceptable manner.
