Objective
To demonstrate the possibility of utilizing a new technology for the production of energy at competitive costs for the construction of low and medium capacity combined cycle cogeneration plants with desulphurizing air-cooled atmospheric (AFBC) and pressurized (PFBC) fluidized bed combustors. This process is characterized by a high thermodynamic efficiency any by a gas turbine cycle fed by solid fuels in compliance with EEC "COM 85 (47) def" antipollution regulation.
The project is relevant to a cogeneration plant energized by an air cooled atmospheric or pressurized fluidized bed, burning low grade solid fuels (high sulphur and/or ash content). The technology has an overall efficiency higher than the conventional power plant in compliance with EEC "COM (85) 47" antipollution regulation.
The investment cost of the project is not comparable with conventional cogeneration plant, for the proposed one is the "first of a kind" with many areas to be investigated/developed. It is estimated that even yet not fully developed the plant will result in an energy saving of 2520 TOE/year when compared with the actual consumption of the plant in which the proposed cogeneration system will be installed.
