Abstract Operation of power plants in carbon dioxide capture and non-capture modes and energy penalty or energy utilization in such operations are of great significance. This work reports on two gas fired pressurized chemical-looping combustion power plant lay-outs with two inbuilt modes of flue gas exit namely, with carbon dioxide capture mode and second mode is letting flue gas (consists carbon dioxide and water) without capturing carbon dioxide. In the non-CCS mode, higher thermal efficiencies of 54.06% and 52.63% efficiencies are obtained with natural gas and syngas. In carbon capture mode, a net thermal efficiency of 52.13% is obtained with natural gas and 48.78% with syngas. The operating pressure of air reactor is taken to be 13 bar for realistic operational considerations and that of fuel reactor is 11.5 bar. Two power plant lay-outs developed based combined cycle CLC mode for natural gas and syngas fuels. A single lay-out is developed for two fuels with possible retrofit for dual fuel operation. The CLC Power plants can be operated with two modes of flue gas exit options and these operational options makes them higher thermal efficient power plants.

Autothermal Operation

Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is an emerging carbon capture technology that is characterized by a low energy penalty, low carbon dioxide capture costs, and low environmental impact. To prevent the contact between fuel and air, an oxygen carrier is used to transport the oxygen needed for fuel conversion. In comparison to a classic oxyfuel process, no air separation unit is required to provide the oxygen needed to burn the fuel. The solid fuel, such as coal, is gasified in the fuel reactor (FR), and the products from gasification are oxidized by the oxygen carrier. There are promising results from the electrically heated 100 kWth unit at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) or the 1 MWth pilot at Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany) with partial chemical-looping conditions. The 1 MWth CLC pilot consists of two interconnected circulating fluidized bed reactors. It is possible to investigate this process without electrically heating due to refractory-lined reactors and coupling elements. This work presents the first results of autothermal operation of a metal oxide CLC unit worldwide using ilmenite as oxygen carrier and coarse hard coal as fuel. The FR was fluidized with steam. The results show that the oxygen demand of the FR required for a complete conversion of unconverted gases was in the range of 25%. At the same time, the carbon dioxide capture efficiency was low in the present configuration of the 1 MWth pilot. This means that unconverted char left the FR and burned in the air reactor (AR). The reason for this is that no carbon stripper unit was used during these investigations. A carbon stripper could significantly enhance the carbon dioxide capture efficiency.

Efficiency Gain

A thermodynamic model and parametric analysis of a natural gas-fired power plant with carbon dioxide (CO2) capture using multistage chemical looping combustion (CLC) are presented. CLC is an innovative concept and an attractive option to capture CO2 with a significantly lower energy penalty than other carbon-capture technologies. The principal idea behind CLC is to split the combustion process into two separate steps (redox reactions) carried out in two separate reactors: an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction, by introducing a suitable metal oxide which acts as an oxygen carrier (OC) that circulates between the two reactors. In this study, an Aspen Plus model was developed by employing the conservation of mass and energy for all components of the CLC system. In the analysis, equilibrium-based thermodynamic reactions with no OC deactivation were considered. The model was employed to investigate the effect of various key operating parameters such as air, fuel, and OC mass flow rates, operating pressure, and waste heat recovery on the performance of a natural gas-fired power plant with multistage CLC. The results of these parameters on the plant's thermal and exergetic efficiencies are presented. Based on the lower heating value, the analysis shows a thermal efficiency gain of more than 6 percentage points for CLC-integrated natural gas power plants compared to similar power plants with pre- or post-combustion CO2 capture technologies.
