DOE Awarding More Than $3.3M to 7 Universities To Conduct Advanced Turbine Technology Studies for Advanced Coal-Based Power Generation

Green Car Congress

The universities—located in Georgia, Texas, North Dakota, Louisiana, California, and New York—will investigate the technology needed for the efficient operation of turbines using coal-derived synthesis gas (syngas) and high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels. University of North Dakota , Grand Forks, N.D.

and a low-CO 2 exhaust gas with significantly lower CO 2 emissions than would occur if the coal itself, or the raw syngas, had been combusted. The exhaust gas would be ducted through an HRSG (heat recovery steam generator), which. The H 2 -rich, low-CO 2 syngas will be combusted in a turbine generator to produce electricity.

A diathermic oil loop acts as heat carrier between turbine exhaust and the working fluid cyclopentane; the working fluid vaporizes and expands in the turbo expander which, coupled with the power generator, produces electricity. The fluid vapor then condenses, closing the loop. The Alliance Pipeline transports approximately 1.6
