Abstract
Process simulation and analysis are demonstrated to provide significant benefits for pressurized oxy-fuel combustion systems. This study compares the performance of pressurized oxy-fuel combustion systems and a first-generation oxy-combustion system under the same standard conditions. On this basis, the increase in efficiency of pressurized oxy-fuel combustion systems is evaluated. Process simulation and analysis are carried out for the first-generation oxy-combustion system in a 600 MW supercritical primary intermediate reheat power plant without heat integration (Base Case) and with heat integration (Case A). The validity of the simulation results is then verified. Considering Case A as a benchmark model, the process simulations of a pressurized oxy-coal combustion system and a staged pressurized oxy-combustion system are performed. The simulation results are compared with results in other literature studies. Compared with the benchmark model, the results indicate that the gross generation efficiency of the pressurized oxy-coal combustion system is improved by 1.12 % (LHV), and the net generation efficiency is improved by 0.47 % (LHV). In addition, the gross generation efficiency of the staged pressurized oxy-combustion system is enhanced by 1.78 % (LHV), and the net generation efficiency is improved by 2.4 % (LHV) compared with the benchmark model.
