Studies to Improve Plant Availability and Reduce Total Installed Cost Project Summary

General Electric (GE) Energy has partnered with NETL to study the feasibility of improving plant availability and reducing total installed costs in IGCC plants. The project will complete eight technoeconomic studies each focused on the cost, availability criterion, or both where applicable. The scope of work will include the identification of system and component level requirements for each task and subtask; the development of designs and materials as required for technical evaluation of concepts; validation and testing of components/sub-systems; and the development of appropriate operating methodologies, simulations, and controls philosophies where applicable.
