Techno-economic analysis of applying China's R0110 gas turbine in IGCC plants

To explore China's recently developed heavy gas turbine R0110's feasibility to be applied in an IGCC plant, system simulation in ASPEN plus software and economic analysis of an R0110 IGCC plant were performed in this paper and comparison to a MS9001FA IGCC plant was included. The result shows that the system efficiency of R0110 IGCC is 2.3% points lower than that of MS9001FA IGCC, and turbine inlet temperature, compression ratio and exhaust temperature are the main factors that affect the system efficiency. Developing larger scale (160/200 MW) of gas turbines on the base of R0110 will help greatly to bring down the building cost and cost of electricity of R0110 IGCC plant so that the economic advantage of the localization of gas turbines can be distinct.
