• Relative to the steam Rankine cycles:• At 620 °C, sCO2 cycles are 1.1 – 3.2

percentage points higher in efficiency• At 760 °C, sCO2 cycles are 2.6 – 4.3

percentage points higher• The addition of reheat improves sCO2

cycle efficiency by 1.3 – 1.5 percentage points

• The addition of main compressor intercooling improves efficiency by 0.4 – 0.6 percentage points

• Main compressor intercooling reduces compressor power requirements for both the main and bypass compressors

• Note that there is significant uncertaintyin the CFB and sCO2 component capital costs (-15% to +50%)

• Large capital cost uncertainties being addressedin projects funded by NETL, EPRI and OEM(s):

• sCO2 turbine (GE, Doosan, Siemens)• Recuperators (Thar Energy, Brayton Energy, Altex)• Primary heat exchanger (B&W, GE)

• sCO2 cases have comparable COE to steam Rankine plant at 620 °C, and lowerCOE for 760 °C cases

• Main compressor intercooling improves COE 2.2 – 3.5 $/MWh• Low cost means of reducing sCO2 cycle mass flow

• Reheat reduces the COE for the 620 °C cases, but increases COE for turbine inlet temperatures of 760 °C

• Due to the high cost of materials for the reheat portions of the cycle in 760 °C cases

• COE reductions are relative to an air fired, supercritical PC coal plant with CCS (B12B)

• Higher efficiency and lower COE for sCO2 cycles relative to steam

• Large uncertainty in commercial scale sCO2 component costs

sCO2 and IGCC Economic Comparison• sCO2 Total Plant Costs are similar relative to

reference IGCC plant:• Higher syngas cooler and ASU costs• Lower gas cleanup and CO2 storage compression costs• Comparable Power cycle + HRSG + Steam Plant costs

• Case 2 TPC is 5% lower than the Baseline sCO2Case

• Syngas cooler cost reduced by eliminating HT sCO2preheating

• sCO2 cycle cost increases with CO2 flow rate, recuperator duty, and increased power output

• sCO2 plants have lower COE than IGCC plant• TPC better on a $/MW basis• sCO2 Baseline COE is 10% lower than IGCC plant,

Case 2 is 20% lower• Case 2 has 11% lower COE compared to Baseline sCO2

plant, due to lower TPC and increased efficiency

• Thermal integration in Case 2 improves thermal efficiency by 2.9 percentage points relative to Baseline sCO2 case

• Both cases compare favorably to the EPRI sCO2 study, which does not include turbine blade cooling or combustor pressure drops [3]

• sCO2 cases deliver higher efficiency than IGCC cases with a gas turbine + steam combined cycle power island

• Change to GE gasifier may improve efficiency [5]• Optimized sCO2 outperforms advanced (AHT) and

transformational hydrogen turbine (THT) cases from the IGCC Pathway Study [8]

• The COE for the sCO2 plant is 11-20% lower than the COE for the reference IGCC plant

• Decrease in COE is primarily due to the higher efficiency of the sCO2 plant

• Comparable COE to EPRI study, though this uses lower cost PRB coal [3]

• IGCC AHT and THT cases based on a GE gasifier with a radiant syngas cooler [8]

• TPC 15% lower than Shell gasifier [5]• COE $17.2/MWh lower (-11.3%)

Objectives• Plan, design, build, and operate

a 10 MWe sCO2 Pilot Plant Test Facility• Demonstrate the operability of the

sCO2 power cycle• Verify performance of components

(turbomachinery, recuperators, compressors, etc.)

• Evaluate system and component performance capabilities• Steady state, transient, load following,

limited endurance operation• Demonstrate potential for producing a lower

COE and thermodynamic efficiency greater than 50%

• Competitive market place• US, International, and secondary markets

• Synergies with DOE and DOD• US universities fully engaged• Significant deployment of NGCC• Significant small business opportunities• FE invests in basic R&D at the component

scale leading to early applied solutions• OEMs eager to deploy components in the

existing fleet leading to TRL acceleration• New products by OEMs can then

incorporate FE sponsored advanced technology at lower risk

Technology MaturationTurbine technology market provides a special case for TRL acceleration

Turbine market place accelerates this model for TRL maturation process

22

• Status of the current CC goal 65 %• Are higher efficiencies on our current path

• Advanced manufacturing to realize GT performance goals

• Additive, coatings, castings, MRO, ceramics, materials, digital solutions, instrumentation, etc.

• Raising the digital twin• The existing fleet• Advanced power systems• Technology maturation

Next Steps

23

• Advanced Turbines Program focused on three areas• Combined cycle combustion turbine• Turbomachinery for SCO2 power cycles• Pressure gain combustion

• System to realize these benefits• Technology / market synergies in manufacturing, across

agencies, applications etc. will facilitate program success
