EPRI’s CoalFleet forTomorrow Program

• Build an industry-led program toaccelerate the deployment ofadvanced coal-based power plants;use “lessons learned” to minimize risk

• Employ “learning by doing” approach; generalize actual deployment projects (50 & 60 Hz) to create design guides

• Augment ongoing RD&D to speed market introduction of improved designs and materials; lead industry collaborative projects

• Deliver benefits of standardization to IGCC (integration gasification combined cycle), USC PC (ultra-supercritical pulverized coal), and SC CFBC (supercritical circulating fluidized-bed combustion)– Lower costs, especially with CO2 capture– Higher reliability– Near-zero SOX, NOX, PM, and Hg emissions– Shorter project schedule

CoalFleet Continues to Expand Collaborative Relationship with International Organizations

• Coordination with VGB for Europe and European firm participation

• Growing Australian and Asian Involvement• Eskom adds African Involvement• Potential for Support from Asia-Pacific Partnership


CoalFleet: Encouraging Deployment of Advanced Coal Power Plants

• Shortened Learning Curve by Providing Independent Technical Expertise to Early Deployment Projects (EDPs)

• Lower Costs and Lower Risks Through Standard Designs and Permitting Guidelines

• Lower Cost of Electricity through Improved Technology

3 Areas of “Encouragement”


Industry Working Groups• CO2 Capture Option Value• IGCC Permitting• IGCC Design Guidance• RD&D Plan Implementation• Advanced PC Guideline• Others (if needed)

Shortened Learning Curve By Providing Independent Technical Expertise to EDPs

• IGCC Technical Experts Group Support for Early Deployment Projects (EDPs)– AEP: NDA in place; periodic design reviews conducted– Duke Indiana: NDA in place; design reviews in progress– Southern/OUC: NDA in place; participated in design

reviews– Looking for more EDPs, particularly for other gasification

technologies and projects with CO2 capture


Benefits of Technical Experts Group

• Quick and inexpensive way to bring more than 300 man-years of IGCC-related experience to an EDP project

• Brings knowledge and experience from areas most power plant developers do not have on staff– Gasification– Gas treating– ASU– Syngas-fired gas turbines– IGCC permitting

• Consulting with CoalFleet Experts Group ensures that the generic IGCC lessons learned from other projects will be incorporated into EDP designs and that EDP lessons learned get into the CoalFleet UDBS

Lower Costs and Lower Risks Through Standard Designs

• Why Standard Designs?– Disadvantages

• Not optimized for your specific coal or site– Advantages

• Cost savings and schedule savings comes from level of pre-engineering

• Recent study has estimated the engineering cost for a 600 MW IGCC to be about $60 million, or $100/kW

• LNG standard plant experience indicates a 15% savings in installed cost is possible

• No single IGCC technical development could deliver that magnitude of savings

≠


Technical Solution—IGCC User Design Basis Specification (UDBS)

• Defines power company technical requirements for a site-specific IGCC plant; supplier alliances to propose plants that meet the UDBS

• UDBS represents major collaborative effort– All sectors of industry engaged– 25+ people developed UDBS—

conference calls every two weeks, quarterly review meetings

– Approved by all CoalFleet members• Robust, 600-page industry-developed

and tested guideline, primer, andlessons-learned compendium version #3 issued

• Flexible, yet promoting of standardized, optimized designs• Already in use by many CoalFleet participants

Pre-Design & Generic Design Specifications

• Pre-Design Spec– Informs members of non-proprietary results of an IGCC feasibility

study conducted by an EDP– Represents level of information needed to begin FEED

• Generic Design Spec– Informs members of non-proprietary results of an IGCC FEED

study conducted by an EDP– Gives potential “second-of-a-kind” IGCC buyers an opportunity to

judge design before committing millions of dollars toward a FEED• Value to Suppliers

– Eliminates market confusion on what they are offering– Provides up-to-date information on their technology to 60% of the

US coal power generation market as well as major international power generators


Permit Database

Environmental Permitting Guidelines & IGCC Permit Database

• Worth their weight in gold– Provides advice that can help IGCC developers avoid

multi-million dollar mistakes• Version 1 of Guidelines was issued in March 2006 and

Version 2 of the Database was issued in June 2006– Compares permit requirements for 11 operating or

proposed IGCC projects EPRI

Permitting Guide


Lower Cost of Electricity through Improved Technology

• CoalFleet IGCC RD&D Augmentation Plan • Overviews presented at CoalGen and Pittsburgh Coal Conf.• Near-Term Impacts

– $6/MWh improvement by 2012– Will require about $300 million to implement completely– Beginning to implement plan by going after “low-hanging fruit”

first• Web-Based IGCC Model• Dynamic Simulator• Supplemental Firing Assessment• RAM Analysis project


Long-Term RD&D Plan

• Goal: $/kW and heat rate less than today’s IGCC, but for a plant with CO2 capture

• Have identified a technology path for achieving that goal

• Beginning to Implement Plan• Projects incorporated into CURC Roadmap• Liquid CO2/coal slurry study• Initial analysis of impact of H2 firing on CT performance (UTSR

intern)• Ultralow-NOX Syngas Combustor Value Analysis initiated


CoalFleet’s Future

• Continue to Update IGCC User Design Guidelines, Permitting Guidelines & Database – Fold in lessons learned from Early Deployment Projects– Expand scope to include designs with CO2 capture, designs

optimized for later CO2 capture, 50 Hz turbines, internationally traded coals

• Continue parallel effort for Advanced PC Guidelines and Knowledge Base

• Launch effort on Supercritical Circulating Fluidized Bed power plants

• Implement elements of RD&D Augmentation Plan– IGCC– Combustion
