Title:

TA 76 - Lower cost gasification power cycles for Australian coals and conditions

Type:

Technology Assessments Report

Author(s):

Louis Wibberley, Doug Palfreyman, Peter Scaife

Summary:

The report gives an assessment of the thermal efficiency, water consumption, flexibility and comparative costs of several alternative IGCC concepts for a range of Australian coals. Other novel configurations are also considered, especially for smaller scale (<100 MW) plants.

The premise for the study is that the best options for Australia may not be the same as for other regions, due to differences in coal properties, local availability of coal seam gas and coal mine waste coal, demographics, water resources, increasing peak demands, and the need for smaller efficient, efficient dry-cooled decentralised plants.
