This report reviews existing work on the operating flexibility of power plants with CO₂ capture, discusses techniques which could be used to assess flexibility and proposes further work that could be undertaken on this subject. Operating flexibility of power plants is likely to become more important in future as more renewable power systems with variable outputs are built to reduce CO₂ emissions. Operating flexibility could be a significant factor in the choice of the optimum CO₂ capture technology and it may also affect the extent to which CCS will be used in future.
Operability is an important consideration for power plants operators and it is likely to become even more so in future due to the increased use of renewable energy sources with low-CO₂ emissions. It could be a significant factor in the choice of the optimum CO₂ capture technology and it may also affect the extent to which CCS will be used in future.
There is currently little published work on operability of power plants with CCS.
The amount of effort required for detailed analysis of the operability of power plants with CCS would be substantially greater than that of IEA GHG’s other technical studies. For such a study to go ahead addition funding would be needed, for example from any IEA GHG Members and Sponsors that are especially interested in this subject.
Our authoritative, peer-reviewed publications cover topics that include carbon capture, transport, storage, monitoring, regulation, and more.
