Abstract: Through GCRA, U.S. utility/users have established the following economic goal for the U.S. MHTGR reference plant design: “A goal shall be the development of a design that has an evaluated economic advantage of at least 10% in the 30 year levelized busbar cost of electricity relative to a comparable sized, state-of-the-art coal fired plant while requiring equivalent institutional resources and posing equivalent financial risks.”
