Water Use at Pulverized Coal Power Plants with Postcombustion Carbon Capture and Storage
Environmental Science & Technology, 2011Coal-fired power plants account for nearly 50% of U.S. electricity supply and about a third of U.S. emissions of CO(2), the major greenhouse gas (GHG) associated with global climate change. Thermal power plants also account for 39% of all freshwater withdrawals in the U.S.

Reassessing the Efficiency Penalty from Carbon Capture in Coal-Fired Power Plants
Environmental Science & Technology, 2015This paper examines thermal efficiency penalties and greenhouse gas as well as other pollutant emissions associated with pulverized coal (PC) power plants equipped with postcombustion CO2 capture for carbon sequestration. We find that, depending on the source of heat used to meet the steam requirements in the capture unit, retrofitting a PC power plant

The Cost of Carbon Capture and Storage for Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plants
Environmental Science & Technology, 2012This paper examines the cost of CO(2) capture and storage (CCS) for natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. Existing studies employ a broad range of assumptions and lack a consistent costing method. This study takes a more systematic approach to analyze plants with an amine-based postcombustion CCS system with 90% CO(2) capture.

Abstract In this paper, three model predictive control (MPC) strategies are developed and implemented for coal-fired power plant cycling applications. These strategies correspond to a dynamic matrix control (DMC)-based linear MPC, the proposed nonlinear MPC (NLMPC) and a nonlinear MPC from the literature (L-NMPC) as benchmark.

Flexible Operation of Coal Fired Power Plants with Postcombustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide
Journal of Environmental Engineering, 2009Carbon capture and storage is one family of technologies that could be used to significantly reduce global carbon dioxide (C O2 ) emissions. This paper reviews the likely flexibility of power plants with postcombustion capture, with a focus on an improved characterization of the dynamic performance of power plants with C O2 capture.

Climate Policy, 2011
To what degree are recently built and planned power plants in the EU 'capture-ready' for carbon capture and storage (CCS)? Survey results show that most recently built fossil fuel power plants have not been designed as capture-ready. For 20 planned coal-fired plants, 13 were said to be capture-ready (65%).

Solar-Assisted Ultra-supercritical Steam Power Plants with Carbon Capture and Storage
2015This chapter focuses on the evaluation of the potential benefits arising from the integration of concentrating solar systems into coal-based ultra-supercritical (USC) power plants with post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC). In order to offset the efficiency penalty introduced by CO2 removal, the USC-PCC plant was integrated with a concentrating solar field
