Abstract
This chapter explores that cycle performance studies are carried out with different models and computational assumptions. Consequently, results from various sources are difficult to compare. The intention of is to make a comparison of various natural gas-fired power cycle concepts with CO2 capture. Nine different concepts for natural gas fired power plants with CO2 capture have been investigated, and a comparison is made based on cycle performance. These cycles constitute one post-combustion, six oxy-fuel and 2 pre-combustion concepts. A common basis for the comparison of all concepts is defined and employed in heat- and mass-balance simulations of the various concepts. As turbine cooling impacts the performance at high turbine inlet temperatures, a simplified model has been applied in the simulations. It is shown that the concepts, in which emerging technology is employed, exhibit the best performance with respect to efficiency.
