Abstract

Coal-fired Direct Injection Carbon Engine – Gas Turbine (DICE-GT) Compound-Reheat Combined Cycle (CRCC), is a combined cycle power plant comprising a multiplicity of coal-fired reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE), which is commonly referred to by the acronym DICE (Direct Injection Carbon Engine); a natural gas-fired gas turbine (turbine and combustor); a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG); a steam turbine generator; and an integrally geared and intercooled centrifugal air compressor. The concept uses coal-water slurry/fluid in the DICE and natural gas (or hydrogen) in the gas turbine for unmatched efficiency (well above 50% net LHV) and modularity (block sizes of 120, 240 and 360 MW) with easy adaptability to carbon capture and sequestration with minimal additional cost, complexity and performance hit.
