Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Energetic evaluation of different flow sheet modifications of post-combustion CO₂ capture plant at coal and natural gas fired power plant for a generic improved solvent(2014-10); ; ; ; The post-combustion capture (PCC) technology is a promising possibility to reduce CO₂ emissions of fossil fuel fired power plants. One of the main concerns for the PCC is the loss in electric power output. A reduction in efficiency penalty for solvent based PCC can be achieved by improving the solvent properties as well as by improving the process design. There are many different process flow sheet modifications with an improvement in process design reported in literature. In this work two of these modifications for a capture plant are evaluated. To be able to compare these process modifications it is necessary to evaluate them on identical solvent and process conditions. The modified processes are compared to base cases processing the flue gas from a supercritical pulverised coal fired power plant as well as a natural gas combined cycle power plant. The solvent used in the capture plant is a generic improved solvent, representing possible future solvents. The main advantages of the flow sheet modifications are pointed out. Subsequent, the specific reboiler heat duty, the specific cooling duty and the specific auxiliary power for the capture plant are shown for the flow sheet modifications. The overall efficiency penalties for the flow sheet modifications are compared and differences are highlighted.Publicationtype: Conference PaperScopus© Citations 4 389 217 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Part load behaviour of power plants with a retrofitted post-combustion CO₂ capture processThe flexible and part load operation of fossil-fuelled power plants will increase due to the higher share of fluctuating renewable energies, like wind and solar power. In this work the part load behaviour of the post-combustion CO₂ capture (PCC) process is evaluated. The net efficiency of the conventional hard-coal-fired power plant decreases from 45.6% at full load to 41.5% at 40% load. The net efficiency with PCC using 7 m MEA (monoethanolamine) as solvent decreases to 34.8% at full load and to 30.1% at 40% load. The pressure of the intermediate pressure/low pressure crossover section has major influence on the efficiency. In part load higher pressures are in advantage due to lower throttling losses. The shutdown of the PCC is a possibility to generate balancing power. A reduced capture rate of 75% leads to a generation of 5% additional power.Publicationtype: Conference PaperScopus© Citations 20 270 284 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Evaluation and comparison of the part load behaviour of the CO₂ capture technologies oxyfuel and post-combustionThe rising share of fluctuating renewable energies increasingly demand flexible and part load operation of fossil-fuelled power plants with and without CCS. In this work the part load behaviour of the Oxyfuel and the post-combustion CO₂capture processes are evaluated and compared. The net efficiency of the conventional hard-coal-fired power plant decreases from 45.2% at full load to 41.6% at 40% load. The net efficiency with post-combustion CO₂capture using 7 m MEA as solvent decreases to 34.7% at full load and 30.2% at 40% load. The Oxyfuel process reaches in turn a net efficiency of 36.6% at full load and 32.3% at 40% load and shows therefore a benefit of 1.9%-points at full load compared to the postcombustion CO₂capture with MEA. The efficiency advantage of the Oxyfuel process compared to the post-combustion CO₂capture process remains constant at part load.Publicationtype: Conference PaperScopus© Citations 8 304 282
