The 70 MWe Tidd Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion (PFBC) Demonstration Plant is a Round 1 Clean Coal Technology Project that was constructed to demonstrate the viability of PFBC combined cycle technology. The experience gained from this program is expected to hasten the commercial deployment of the technology and provide a viable power generation option in a time frame consistent with the growing base load generation needs which are expected to develop early in the next decade. This paper presents the baseline performance of the 200 MWt PFB combustor, including operating experience, process performance, and availability, during the first three years of the demonstration program.
