24.3 Plant Design
24.3.1 Plant Configuration
Based on the literature review, the authors conceptually designed a Solar & Biomass
Energy Carbon Capture and Sequestration Plant (Solar Hybrid BECCS) for the first
time as illustrated in Fig. 24.1.
This design is intended to minimize the R&D element required for the construction
by borrowing major components from existing power plants. Specifically, this plant
is a combination of three existing plants: a CSP plant, an Integrated Gasification Fuel
Cell (IGFC) cycle plant, and a CCS plant. The authors reference published operation
data for these plants to ensure the engineering feasibility of the proposed, combined
plant.
24.3.2 CSP Plant
The authors reference (Zhang et al. 2013) for the CSP plant. In this design, the solar
radiation is collected and focused by collectors, after which the heat is transferred
by molten salts at a temperature of 850°C. By using solar concentrator-based heat,
the need for partial combustion of the feedstock is eliminated, thus increasing the
resultant yield of syngas.
