Summary

 

The Summary screen uses a two table format to display a summary of information about the flue gas recycle system.

The table on the left displays a summary of information that is key to the model calculations. This information is also available elsewhere in the model. The following important performance and cost factors are shown:

•Net Electrical Output: This is the net plant capacity, which is the gross plant capacity minus the losses due to plant equipment and pollution equipment (energy penalties).

•Annual Operating Hours: This is the number of hours per year that the plant is in operation. If a plant runs 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with no outages, the calculation is 24 hours / 365 days , or 8760 hours/year.

•Annual CO2 Removed: This is the amount of CO2 removed from the flue gas by the CO2 capture system per year.

•ASU Use: This is the electrical power required by the air separation unit (ASU).

•Flue Gas Fan Use: The flue gas has to be compressed in a flue gas blower so that it can overcome the pressure drop in the absorber tower. This is the electrical power required by the blower.

•Flue Gas Cooling Use: This is the electric power required for flue gas cooling.

•CO2 Purification Use: This is the electric power required for CO2 purification.

•Total Recycle/Purification Use: This is the total amount of electrical power required by the FG recycle & purification system.

The table on the right is a standard Cost of CO2 Avoided & Captured table.
