KA26 CCPP - Features
Added values & corresponding advantages for the customer
> Low Load Operational Concept (LLOC)
- Increased operational flexibility
- Lower energy consumption during “parking” at low-load operation point during off-peak periods such as over-night or at weekends
- Opportunities for additional ancillary services, as plant remains on-line and can be ramped up to full load·in short time.
- Possible cost savings (lower fuel consumption at low-load operating point compared to higher, minimum environmental technical limit (METL) load point; substitutes stop/start event)
> Partial load: flexibility and efficiency
- Increased flexibility through lower minimum technical level of power plant load (within NOx emission limit)
> NOx emissions at full load and at part load
- No de-rating
- Cost savings as no catalyst is needed with the associated continuous operation & maintenance costs for the ammonia system, (efficiency advantage, no ammonia slippage to environment from catalyst)
> Fuel Flexibility
- Excellent ability to handle different gas compositions with higher content of high hydrocarbons (C2+) and/or inert gases
- Wide variation in gas composition w/out hardware changes
- Able to handle varying gas fuels with high variation in Wobbe Index
> Power augmentation – inlet cooling
- Very low investment and maintenance cost for a significant power increase
