ALSTOM’s Large CFBs and Results

This paper describes various designs of large CFBs that ALSTOM has undertaken in the last several years. We discuss available operational results of Red Hills (2 × 250 MW) and AES Puerto Rico Total Energy Project (2 × 255 MW). Also included is a description and overview of three projects that are nearing completion: Reliant Energy – Seward Repowering Project (2 × 294 MW); East Kentucky Power Cooperative – E. A. Gilbert (1 × 294 MW); and ENEL – Sulcis Repowering Project (1 × 340 MW gross). Each of these projects had individual technical challenges and solutions, which will be reviewed.
