Abstract (Englisch)

This proposal covers phase 2 of the 'Advanced 700°C PF Power Plant' (AD700) project. Overall goal is to enhance European security of energy supply by ensuring a role for coal in the future fuel-mix. This effort is based on a phase d development of the AD700 technology to improve the economic and environmental competitiveness of coal-fired power. Feasibility studies were covered in phase 1 and demonstrated sound economy of advanced concepts. Also a materials development and testing progr has started and shows no sign of not reaching the targets. Phase 2 targets fabricability and welding of advanced materials, matr testing in an operating boiler and investigations on co-firing with biomass at ~700°C steam temp. Other phase 2 activities target component design, dissemination of results, planning activities for phase 3 with component demonstration and finally business plans for a full-scale demo-plant to be built in phase 4.
