Advanced Generation
Present advances in generation will play a key role in the feasibility of the Lignite Vision 21 Project. Black & Veatch, a world-leader in energy engineering, has been commissioned to provide cost, performance and emissions analyses of advanced generation technologies that have significant performance histories. Black & Veatch's study encompasses extensive reviews of technologies that are being demonstrated worldwide, particularly in Japan and Germany.
The technologies under review include conventional pulverized coal technologies (subcritical, supercritical and ultra supercritical), fluidized bed and integrated coal gasification combined cycle operations. As the list of potential sites is narrowed, more in-depth, site-specific analyses will also be conducted. Finally, these fuel sources will be studied to determine the most favorable generation and environmental characteristics of each.Links to other studies: Transmission; Environment; & Economic Viability
