Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion of Coal for Electric Power Generation the AEP Approach

American Electric Power (AEP), STAL-LAVAL Turbine A. B. (SL), and Deutsche Babcock Anlagen AG (DBA) are working on a program estimated to cost $ 250 million that will lead toward the construction of a large (170,000 KW) commercial demonstration of an advanced electric power plant incorporating Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion (PFBC) of coal.
