Coal fired non-equilibrium closed cycle MHD power plant system since ECAS
Abstract
A 1000 MWe Closed Cycle MHD/steam bottoming power plant which incorporates an integrated, two-stage, pressurized, fluidized bed combustor meeting all emission control requirements has been studied. The coal pile to bus bar efficiency for this plant is calculated to be 47%. A DC-DC conversion system is proposed for matching the output of the Faraday MHD Channel to the inverters. The effect on efficiency of perturbations in nominal performance of key components is shown, along with regenerative heat exchanger performance and plant layout.
