8. 8 Technical Approach
9. 9 Study Assumptions Capacity Factor assumed to equal Availability
IGCC capacity factor = 80% w/ no spare gasifier
PC and NGCC capacity factor = 85%
GE gasifier operated in radiant/quench mode
Shell gasifier with CO2 capture used water injection for cooling (instead of syngas recycle)
Nitrogen dilution was used to the maximum extent possible in all IGCC cases and syngas humidification/steam injection were used only if necessary to achieve approximately 120 Btu/scf syngas LHV
In CO2 capture cases, CO2 was compressed to 2200 psig, transported 50 miles, sequestered in a saline formation at a depth of 4,055 feet and monitored for 80 years
CO2 transport, storage and monitoring (TS&M) costs were included in the levelized cost of electricity (COE)
