INTRODUCTION
This is the seventeenth Technical Progress Report,
describing work performed under DOE Contract No.
DE-FC22-90PC89663, "Development of a Coal Quality
Expert." The contract is a Cooperative Agreement between
the U.S. Department of Energy, CQ Inc., and ABB
Combustion Engineering, Inc. This report covers the period
from April 1 through June 30, 1994. Five companies and
five host utilities have teamed with CQ Inc. and ABB/CE to
perform the work on this project. The work falls under
DOE's Clean Coal Technology Program category of
"Advanced Coal Cleaning." The 51-month project will
provide the utility industry with a PC software program to
confidently and inexpensively evaluate the potential for coal
cleaning, blending, and switching options to reduce
emissions while producing lowest cost electricity.
Specifically, this project will:
" Enhance the existing Coal Quality Information System
(CQIS) database and Coal Quality Impact Model
(CQJM) to allow confident assessment of the effects of
cleaning on specific boiler cost and performance.
" Develop and validate a methodology, Coal Quality
Expert (CQE), which allows accurate and detailed
predictions of coal quality impacts on total power plant
capital cost, operating cost, and performance based
upon inputs from inexpensive bench-scale tests.
The project consists of the following seven tasks:
* Task 1 - Project Management
* Task 2 - Coal Cleanability Characterization
* Task 3 - Pilot-Scale Combustion Testing
" Task 4 - Utility Boiler Field Testing
" Task 5 - CQIM Completion and Development of CQE
Specification
" Task 6 - Develop CQE
" Task 7 - CQE Workstation Testing and Validation1
