The net amount of the flue gas leaving the boiler island is of high CO2 concentration (ca 82,5<br />

%vol), however further inert gas separation (mainly O2 and N2) is necessary. Inert gas<br />

separation line is of cryogenic type. The inert gas separation line has not been physically<br />

modelled within the current paper as it is not related to the analysed waste heat recovery<br />

systems. After [3], it has been just assumed that there is some required flue gas pressure<br />

before the cryogenic separation unit. The flue gas pressure drop within the separation<br />

installation, as well as, separation effectiveness have also been assumed as constant values.<br />

The auxiliary power consumption related to inert gas separation is determined as power of<br />

flue gas compressors. Finally, the CO2 content in flue gas leaving the oxy-fuel system is<br />

nearly 96% and is the same as reported in [3].<br />

The steam cycle is of single reheat supercritical design. Its structure and parameters represent<br />

the best available technology for today plants – the parameters of live / reheated steam are:<br />

600OC, 28,5MPa / 620OC, 5MPa.<br />

2.2 Heat recovery from the flue gas to combustion oxygen (Case 2)<br />

The idea of case 2 has been shown in Fig. 1, where the oxygen heater has been added between<br />

ASU and boiler. The oxygen taken from ASU exhaust is preheated up to 260 0 C by the flue<br />

gas flowing within the main recirculation loop. The detailed flow sheet of Case 2 has been<br />

presented in Fig. A2 in appendix A. The steam cycle is the same as for the reference case, so<br />

the Fig. A1b in appendix A refers also to case 2.<br />

2.3 Heat recovery from the flue gas compression train to steam<br />

cycle (Case 3)<br />

The idea for heat recovery from the flue gas compression train to steam cycle which is the<br />

essence of case 3 is presented in Fig. 2. Recovered heat replaces the LP heat regeneration<br />

within the steam cycle in ca 70%. The detailed flow sheet of Case 3 has been presented in Fig.<br />

A3a and A3b in appendix A.<br />
