Abstract
The advantages of pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) technology for the combustion of coal, as is discussed in this book, results in an appropriate use of this technology for electric power generation. The application of PFBC technology to electric power generation entails transferring the heat of combustion from a fluidized bed to a bottoming steam (Rankine) cycle to drive a steam turbine as well as using a topping gas (Brayton) cycle with a gas turbine. The combination of these two cycles used with an PFBC plant results in a combined-cycle design which leads to higher efficiencies than conventional coal-fired technologies.
