• Other terms “Advanced Supercritical” and“Ultra Supercritical” are loose definitions toindicate steps in technology as opposed toany distinction in thermodynamicproperties

Efficiency gains have mostly been achieved by pushing the steam cycle, lower excess air and lower
gas exit temperature have also contributed

DEVELOPMENTS IN SUPERCRITICAL BOILERS
• PosiflowTM Best Available Technology forOnce-Through boiler furnace
• Lower pressure drop means lower feed-pumppower and lower through-life energyconsumption
• Other advantages include better turn-down,simpler construction and improved availability
• With a PosiflowTM furnace the supercritical
down-shot boiler can be realised: combines theeconomic and environmental benefits ofsupercritical steam conditions with anthracitecombustion for the first time
• Doosan Babcock 2 x 600MW supercriticaldown-shot units for Zhenxiong, YunnanProvince, China.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SUPERCRITICAL BOILERS: PLANT UPGRADE
• Supercritical Retrofit - existing plant can beupgraded to supercritical steam conditions withlower capital cost and more rapid timescalethan new plant
• New boiler within existing structure
• POSIFLOWTM vertical tube low mass fluxfurnace
• Re-use of other equipment (eg fans,airheaters, coal mills)
• New HP and IP turbine
• Doosan Babcock Upgrade of Yaomeng PowerPlant in China 2002
• Owner chose not to upgrade to supercriticalsteam conditions…..
• However, application of PosiflowTM furnace andcombustion system modifications gave 10%lower coal consumption and availability of 96%

ULTRA SUPERCRITICAL – CYCLE OPTIMISATION
• In addition to improvements in Rankine Cycle efficiency from increasing steam temperatures we can makebetter use of low grade heat in our power plant cycle
• Feedwater heating can be optimised to reduce the quantity of high grade bled steam taken from the turbineand better utilise the low grade heat in the flue gas leaving the boiler
Page 19
SUMMARY
• Increasing plant efficiency is fundamental to reducing all emissions including CO2
• Primary means to increase efficiency is to increase the steam pressure and temperature at the turbineinlet
• This means using steam at supercritical pressures – we use terms such as “Advanced Supercritical” and“Ultra Supercritical” to indicate higher ranges of temperatures and pressures
• We can make improvements to the basic once-through boiler concept like the PosiflowTM furnace tofurther increase efficiency and operating flexibility
• Supercritical technology can be readily retrofitted to life-expired existing plant
• Today’s Advanced Supercritical plant will achieve around 46-47% cycle efficiency (LHV basis) and about20% reduction in CO2 for the same MWe output as existing sub-critical plant
• Ultra Supercritical plant operating at steam temperatures above 700°C is the next step. Together withimproved cycles this will achieve a plant efficiency over 50% and about a 30% reduction in CO2
compared to existing sub-critical plant
• Attainment of 700°C is constrained by the availability of suitable materials for the highest temperaturecomponents and development programmes are underway
