The Overall Configuration Menu

← Previous | Next →

\The Overall Configuration menu, labeled Configuration, is the first menu in the list. This menu allows you to quickly select common configurations. For example, a Pulverized Coal (PC) plant offers the following configurations:

•No Devices

•Typical New Plant

•Oxyfuel Low S (<0.5%)

•Oxyfuel Med S (0.5%-1.5%)

•Oxyfuel High S (>1.5%)

•ESP+FGD

•SCR+ESP+FGD

•SD+FF

This menu may also include some configurations (e.g. Oxyfuel for PC plants) that have complicated requirements, eliminating the problem of having to select things in the correct order to avoid grayed-out options. Choosing a configuration from this menu sets the individual configuration menus below it to match the configuration you have chosen. You may further refine your choice using the individual configuration menus. For example, you might choose Typical New Plant to start, and then add post-combustion CO2 capture.

This menu automatically updates itself to match the configuration you have chosen. If the current configuration does not match any of the predefined configurations, it will have the value "<User Defined>".
